You don't see anything wrong with that?
For your sake, let's make this simple - 80,000 is the official capacity and the average attendance was over that capacity at 85,000. The stadium seats about 5,000 over capacity for a typical NFL game. What don't you understand about that?

One thing is for sure - 105,000 fans are not being seated in JerryWorld each week as you tried to claim.

That's the second time something simple and perfectly intuitive has eluded your understanding. Perhaps it's time to duck out of the conversation.

I mean the words you said makes sense but it doesn't add up. I just think it is odd that a city that is so diverse and huge doesn't have a hockey team (and I'm not claiming it's not either because it is definitely both)

Also, I am a native Texas and played hockey my entire life while living there. Just because you aren't interested doesn't mean the entire state isn't....
Yeah, and some Texans play lacrosse. Let's discuss why that isn't a bigger sport here.

MOST Texans don't care about hockey, and that's the point, so it's ridiculous to argue about why Houston doesn't have a team or why Dallas' team is one of the least popular franchises in the league. I highly doubt anyone in Houston is losing sleep over this.

Record crowd Dallas - 105k
Record crowd Houston - 72k

Fun Fact: The Red River Rivalry at the Cotton Bowl puts the Texans' record crowd to shame.

Evidently no amount of facts are going to rob you of the delusion that JerryWorld seats 35k more people than Reliant on any given Sunday.
