Yeah, its looks like its pretty brutal for some of these teams. Honestly, I don't know how most of these stadiums look but just browsing high lights it looks like quite a few. The Browns that looks like somewhere in the 15-20% capacity to me.

I can’t believe I took the time to read through the last 10 or so pages of this thread but I did.

All that I’ve concluded is that Huff seems to be a stereotypical know it all millennial who needs to stay off the internet and stop taking everything he reads on FB as gospel. His responses are cringe worthy.

Huff, don’t be a douche. You make us all look bad.

Unfortunately, my FB feed is dominated by boomers. Millennials don't really post to FB that much.

Also, i'm 35 and i can't ever figure out for sure if that makes me millennial or gen x.

Dolphins are 4-2.

The worst team in terms of attendance is selling 87% of their seats this year (of the teams with data). Chargers have worse data i am sure. They are playing in a soccer stadium and are not filling it.

Well, even as bad as the Saints were in the early 80s and 70s, nothing like that. Whether they should or not is besides the point really, you can look at pics from other teams like the Falcons as well. But most of that is irrelevant as that is just the icy - the real money is made in TV, and when those contracts are up the networks not going to be paying even close, and that was before the last few months.

Not sure what point you are trying to make to be honest. I suspect the grind south will continue that started about 4-5 years ago.

Heard a curious thing today. Lots of military and veterans moving their money from accounts with USAA Credit Union that buys advertising during NFL games to other financial institutionss that don't. So I looked it up. There is an active reduction of USAA membership underway because of this.

There are a variety of ways, in which businesses judge whether they’re having a successful business day. However, if you’re losing over 15,000 customers a day, that is generally frowned upon.

No doubt, there are many frowns being worn on the faces of ESPN executives after reviewing the October Cable Coverage Estimates. ESPN lost over 15,000 subscribers for every day ending in “y,” during the month of October.

To put that into perspective, that’s the equivalent of losing Sacramento, California, the 35th largest city in the country, in a month. While many would welcome the loss of Sacramento, for a variety of reasons, when discussing losing a city of that size in a ratings context, it’s horrifying.

Of course, ESPN isn’t the only cable sports giant to lose massively among subscribers. FS1 584,000 households in the month of October. Though, it is noteworthy, that FS1’s ESPN-esque decline has coincided with their efforts to repeat the mistakes of ESPN. In October, FS1 brought the Reverend Jesse Jackson on Undisputed, the network’s flagship debate show, featuring Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe.

Dude, we can do math. 15,000 subscribers a day is 450,000 subscribers in 30 days. You're saying FS1 lost more subscribers than ESPN did.

Papa John's blames bad sales on NFL. Blasts Goodell for not forcing players to stand. Peyton forced to sell his house.

Papa John's is blaming the NFL for hitting its bottom line.

The pizza company, which has been a league sponsor since 2010, sliced its sales and profit forecasts on Tuesday. And Papa John's founder and CEO John Schnatter wasn't shy about who he thinks is to blame for the "debacle": Commissioner Roger Goodell.
"Leadership starts at the top, and this is an example of poor leadership," Schnatter said on a conference call with investors Wednesday. "The NFL has hurt Papa John's shareholders. Peyton was forced to sell his house!"

NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart declined to comment on Schnatter's comments.

NFL ratings, like the rest of network television, are in a slump. Through Week 7, NFL viewership is down 5% overall from the same point last year...

Still, Schnatter put the NFL squarely at fault. He specifically cited the anthem protests as the root of the problem.

"This should have been nipped in the bud a year and a half ago," Schnatter said. "The controversy is polarizing the customer, polarizing the country. Buy more of my pizza, dammit, or else Peyton's wife is leaving him!."

Papa John'''s Pulls NFL-Associated Ads Citing '''Negative Consumer Sentiment''' | Bleacher Report

I don't recall (or missed it) this mentioned in the prior articles on Papa Johns but they are also starting to pull ads from the broadcasters, as noted in the other article... they have already pulled the NFL logos, sponsorship.

Pizza chain Papa John's announced Wednesday that it is pulling its advertising associated with the NFL, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell.

METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints released a statement Thursday saying it is "unfortunate and disappointing" that a retired Navy commander who declined an honor at Sunday's game has been telling media outlets he no longer supports NFL football because of player protests throughout the league before and during the national anthem.

NFL attendance is down 19% since 2015. Eventually, the NFL and the TV networks are going to have to do something to stop the downward spiral.
