Scarcity is an important psychology in getting people to overpay for something. Are diamonds really something important...or is the fact that not everyone can afford them? If they were a nickel...shallow people would quit wearing them. NFL isnt a special event anymore...it's over-saturated and grossly over-priced. |

A big part is upbringing. If a kid goes to 1 game a year or none vs. in the past when they used to go to a few, that makes a huge difference. If you live in an outside market, many families don't want to go through the hassle of buying a dish to watch games. If a kid wants to buy a jersey, for years you had to pay a gajillion dollars because of exclusive licensing deals. These things add up. The more a kid is exposed to their favorite players and teams the better. But the NFL in most cases wants you to pay more to use the NFL less.

Yeah, the freakin' Arizona Coyotes, who started 0-11, charge $120 for lower level seats and $170 for "premiere" games... and they have 41 home games. It's nuts. And on any given night, one or both teams might not show up. I had college hockey season tickets for several years in Omaha... Friday/Saturday night games, 10 weekends/season, $20/game (I think they're $25 now). Can't beat that. Now I go on hikes on the weekends and it's $3 at most. |

I'm unable to watch the NFL games of my choosing for "free", which is why I've had Direct TV and the NFL Sunday Ticket since 2003. Viewership isn't down. Ratings are skewed by mobile devices and streaming. This thread is about ratings, not empty seats at stadiums. |

As you can tell from the attached pic, getting into the Chiefs playoff game isn't going to break the bank if you really want to experience NFL playoff football.

Times change...NFL isnt very entertaining anymore. I honestly just tune in, now and then, to see how terrible/overt the calls are....analyze how they dictate the flow of momentum/which teams are given favoritism. It's amazing what they think they can get away with...and people wont notice. I break down match-ups/outcomes based on what will make the NFL the most advertising profit...that's a Goodell invention. Who does the NFL want in the play-offs...LA or Nashville? Titans are going to take a dive type of shit... Last edited by BlackOp; 12-29-2017 at 01:38 PM.. |

Look, people used to bitch constantly back in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's about how the Giants, Eagles, Redskins, Cowboys and 49ers were always on Monday Night Football or had the Sunday afternoon feature game. The schedule now is more "balanced", which is why the NFL schedules shit games on Thursday, Sunday and Monday night, which of course leads to a decline in ratings. Most people aren't interested in the Titans vs. Jaguars or Buccaneers vs. Panthers. Those are small media markets that just don't put up high numbers. Maybe the NFL will go back to that model, where only the large market teams (and Green Bay) play in Prime Time. I'm pretty certain that it wouldn't go over well in small markets like Kansas City. That's an opinion and clearly not a fact. |

I'll give last week a pass because it was Christmas Eve, but the Charger game the week before had attendance issue. The weather was perfect, everything was perfect, the game mattered, and there were far too many empty seats.
