51st Buffalo
47th Jacksonville, FL
34th Cincinnati
31st Kansas City
28th San Diego
26th Baltimore
25th Indianapolis
24th Charlotte, NC
23rd Pittsburgh
Half of those are “football” towns, the others live off of merchandizing and shared TV revenue, with the dubious exception of the team that can sell “shares”. There’s always an exception to the rule.

==================================
So, what’s your point? My team has sold out every home game in it’s 17-year history. I think that makes us a “football” town.”

Live games are fun, but the cost and hassles associated with parking, etc are ridiculous.

People don’t go to games because they love nfl football, they go to support Goodell because they love him so much and the work he’s doing to clean up the league.

Can’t say I would be dissapointed if it crash and burned.

This is America, where everybody loves a winner but there is no way even a fairly affluent, reasonably sized “market” is going to “support” any franchise, NFL or otherwise without immediate domination or some kind of history attached with winning. I’m not really sure if it would help if tickets and concession prices were reduced…what are the chances of that, but one would think that avenue would be explored. Sure it’s fun to actually attend the spectical that is NFL football but the NFL Ticket is less than one game for me and I would imagine for most of America.

The league couldn’t care less if the seats in the nosebleed sections are occupied–at least so long as they’re not shown on TV.
