Already insane, UAA making it worse
The Rams got 90k last year for their first preseason game in LA. No NFL team should be getting outdrawn by a 19th place MLS team, even in preseason.
Wasn't the reason the Chargers moved to San Diego in the first place was because they couldn't compete with the Rams??

Much appreciated! That Sunday works for me. Really any day after the 2nd is good.

I dunno but it's likely.
On this note, MLS, NHL teams outrank NFL teams in fan satisfaction surveys.

From nearly everyone I've talked to, an NFL game is nearly unwatchable live. It's excruciatingly boring, overpriced, and you're better off watching on TV.It's like the ugly girl that gives good BJs. It's because she has to.
In contrast, both the NHL and MLS experiences do not translate well to TV and they're better live.

It might be fun attending a game in a warm weather climate, although I suppose there's other things to do as well if you're in Miami or LA. Gone to my share of Patriots games and since you're watching some legendary players and a perennial championship contender its generally a good time, but at my advancing age I don't see myself attending a game in late December in Foxborough to freeze my arse off. Strangely enough its pretty easy to get to Gillette without the benefit of a car as they run a train from Boston and Providence to right outside the stadium.

I've purchased my last NFL ticket. In all likelihood, I've also attended my last NFL game in person. It was a very underwhelming experience the last time I went to game.

Every fall, my dad, brothers, father-in-law, and brother-in-law go on a "man trip" where we travel to various parts of the country to watch different sporting events. We've been to NFL games in Denver, Green Bay, Chicago, Indianapolis, D.C. (Maryland), Minneapolis, Atlanta, New York (Jersey), and Philadelphia; college football games in Iowa City, South Bend, Boulder, Athens, and Clemson; an NHL game in St. Paul; NBA games in Minneapolis and Denver; MLB games in Atlanta, Minneapolis, and Denver; college hockey games in Omaha and New York; and a college basketball game in Philadelphia.
The common element for almost every game we've been to (at least for me) is that the pre-game experience was more exciting than the actual game itself. As for the in-game experience, most have been enjoyable (although watching Christian Ponder get destroyed by the Packers on Thursday Night Football in Lambeau was pretty brutal), but there are several factors that seem to make the in-game experience better: (1) the "atmosphere" of the game (i.e. 2 great teams playing against each other, or 2 heated rivals); (2) the people who sit next to you; (3) the location of your seat; (4) whether there is any "uniqueness" factor (e.g. a hurricane is dumping a foot of rain on the crowd during the game (Clemson) or an insanely good/record breaking performance (Manning throwing for 7 TDs); and (5) the quality/history of the stadium/arena. I haven't noticed much of a difference between the different sports when it comes to these factors. Each game is its own experience, and if you had a bad time last time, I would suggest giving it another shot and picking a better game/location.

Another problem is there's about a half dozen teams with a chance to win the championship this year (Pats, Steelers, Atlanta, Seattle, GB, Dallas) plus a few teams that have been good recently and maybe catch lightening again (Denver, Carolina, Giants). Everybody else has no hope. No hope + no stars making history = no fans. Maybe you show up in New Orleans because its New Orleans so why not and Brees is still around but for 2/3rds of the league your team is out of it by the 1st game of the season. Jax, Buffalo, Cincy, Cleveland, Jets, etc etc why would anybody attend these games?

You can always do the sweep the knee trick on Brady that was employed against Carson Palmer maybe on Cincy many moons ago...

6 spots left in fantasy football. Enough to draft, but I remember that one year we had 6 teams and we were getting all-star players in the late rounds.

Promise not to draft Tebow in the 7th round again?
