Huge Game, 9/2 opponent, your team is coming off a SB appearance, you have a brand new $b stadium and $2 hot dogs...
Shame, shame, shame....

Their fans are fickle. $1.6 billion on that building. The crowd was more excited for the SEC championship game there.

The stadium announced crowd was 71,000, and there were no more than 30,000 in the stadium. The NFL has a problem if they can't fill a new stadium like Atlanta's who had a 7-4 record coming in

Its similar to Pittsburgh, New York, and LA. You have a strong team or new stadium and corporate sponsors buy up seats. When it comes to game day you have the casual fans and then the corporations who don't use their seats half the time.
The teams and NFL don't care since they're selling the tickets. But it would be nice to fill the building. MN is a bit better since the PSL's didn't out price the casual fan.

Could it be the blowback to the the NFL/Goodell's idiocy in handling, take a knee on-purpose injection of politics into the one area people wanted to escape that stuff from is having an effect? I don't mind what peeps think but they were too little, too late in removing it from what we really love... football.
