Cowboys fans undoubtedly support their team.

I know AT&T Stadium is huge with a ton of seating plus standing room observation areas but a 15,000 average attendance gap over #2 the Jets.

Wow, the LA Rams with their very good team only drawed at 77% capacity. Wouldn't you think in the 2nd largest city of the country, finally having their own teams and having a good one here, that they would be at least 90%?

Jets drop down when you look at the total, then NYG are in 2nd, Packers in 3rd. Regardless of team a fan favors, the Cowboys and Packers are a major draw in terms of overall popularity.

When Packers talk about website, popularity, their division teams aren't the ones they mention, it is Cowboys!

Hiya Sue, Pack rank in the bottom third in terms of % capacity?! Are the younger fans turned off by on field performance or are they just getting softer?

Overall those are pretty solid numbers with almost every team hitting at least 90% and almost half the league at 99% or more.

Hey, Ghengis! Shouldn't say this but Packers have a real issue with season ticket holders selling their tickets. I know several who inherited season tickets and never go to a game, use them as a cash cow, don't care who buys them. In the long run they may get burned by this if they don't know who buys them, if they get in trouble at the stadium.

Soft might play into it, in terms of cold, Dec./Jan. games. I don't go or wouldn't go to a cold game, Packers.com offered me 4 tickets to a playoff game where it was going to be frigid, turned them down. I was critical on their website of the aftermarket season ticket sales and they responded offering me tickets. I'm older not sitting out in the cold or driving 40 miles in the dark.

the eagles have the highest road attendance, probably because they play the two largest stadiums every year and may have drawn a little extra coming off the SB win

I think this confirms what people have thought all along that Los Angeles does not care about pro football much. I also heard that Los Angeles had the lowest viewership out of all the large metro areas for the Super Bowl despite “their” team playing in the SB.

The Chargers numbers are inflated due to the lower capacity of their stadium. They would probably be worse off than the Rams with an average sized stadium.

My Vikings are #16, that is not too bad! That is a shame about the Chargers being last but I am not surprised, the Chargers should have never moved

They're currently playing in a shoebox until the new stadium is complete. Their numbers mean nothing until they can move into a comparable sized stadium as every other team. When they do, my prediction is their attendance numbers will still not be good.

I'm with you in thinking that they're going to wish that they never left San Diego in a few years.
