By the time the NFL’s Week 3 games had come and gone on Sunday, there were many fans on social media still left wondering why stadiums across the nation seemed so empty. The Los Angeles Chargers may be second in the AFC West in this early part of the season, but some fans feel their attendance is in last place. As the Chargers welcomed the Houston Texans to the recently re-named Dignity Health Sports Park (formerly StubHub Center), many fans noticed the empty seats: (Tweet/Photo)

After nearly 50 years as a huge pro football fan, we haven't watched a down of the NFL in 3 years now!!! And we have found we don't miss it in the least!!!!! After church on Sundays these days, we don't rush to try to get home for a noon kickoff. So we are being much more social with our church friends. And we go hiking or to museums most Sunday afternoons now. I guess I really should be thanking the America-hating thugs for ruining the NFL. I actually feel free and much happier these days!!!!!

Maybe we can make a case for the Packers to play ALL their games at home. They fill up the stadium.

Something not mentioned is they are getting stricter and stricter about what you can take into the stadium. When I was a kid we packed our own lunch and brought plastic bottles of water. In most places that is now forbidden - you have to buy the overpriced food and drink at the stadium. And you are practically stripped searched getting in the gate.

Not For Long is how fans will stick around in the politically correct zone. Take a knee and say a prayer for fans to come back. No, it's all about Moneyball and not Football. Tickets, parking, food, swag, it all adds up and prices people out of the market. Direct TV Sunday Ticket is ridiculous. 2019 NFL SUNDAY TICKET MAX regular full-season retail price is $395.94. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Sorry, I just can't afford it!!! Get to the stadium early and look at who rolls in the lot in their Ferrari's, Lambos, Vettes, Porsches, Mercedes, Land Rovers, all of which have been customised and completely over the top expensive. Flashing gigantic gold chains diamonds and jewelry and flaunting their wealth all the while claiming how racist and unfair America is while down on one knee holding up a clenched fist. Let me hold up a double bikers salute with the well intentioned wish that you all go F yourselves.

While I still watch football on TV, I don't watch a game all the way through. It takes too much time, and I feel like I should be doing something else which I often do. Besides, the endless commercials are just irritating. It says something when I'd rather paint a room, then watch the NFL.

Interesting about the Chargers. When they first moved into the then-StubHub Center the league was intrigued by the 27,000-seat venue, thinking that maybe every seat could be marketed and priced as a premium seat. It looked good on paper, anyway. Also, the Chargers are to the Rams what the Clippers were to the Lakers for several decades - a mediocre franchise from San Diego that moved up the freeway expecting instant love.

When I was a teenager the Astros had trouble filling the huge astrodome, so they offered free tickets to straight A students. It looked better in the stands, and they made some money on concessions and parking. Maybe they should try that.

The NFL did it to themselves. Ticket prices too high for the ordinary family. They cater to their players with unbelievably high salaries, improper behavior on the field and off. The antics of the "taking a knee" was and is disgusting. The disrespect for the flag and our country was the last straw for me. And worst of all, the owners allowed it to go on. Yep, the NFL did it to themselves. They deserve what they're getting now. Funny how that works.

If you think the NFL Sunday Ticket is pricey, then you should run a sports bar. Just talked to a friend who opened a sports bar at his hotel. BEFORE he could get a price quoted, he had to provide a certificate of occupancy showing the MAXIMUM capacity of the sports bar. That's because Direct TV/AT&T prices Sunday ticket based on the maximum capacity of the joint. He said the bill would be a couple thousand dollars. And he said, don't even ask what it costs for prize fights, UFC, etc/

Agree with those above. I would add to the above when the NFL started giving millions to far left “social justice” organizations I wasn’t going to donate to that giveaway and putting JayZ in charge halftime music! I guess the NFL wants the hip hop crowd as their target market which excludes Me! Wait til the advertisers want to pay less for ad time due to the reduced audience!

I used to love football, especially the NFL. Now, one look at those scary thugs with their tattoos, their constant arrests (NFL players are arrested on average once per week), their ignorant and non-factual claims about police violence against Blacks, and that white Americans are all racists etc. etc., the disgusting Kaepernick objecting to the Betsy Ross flag. I wouldn't watch a minute or support any of them in any way. They are anti-American, and bad for my country.

Some team owners have decided they should charge their season-ticket holders a Personal Seat License (PSL), an additional $5,000 or more per seat per year in addition to the cost of the tickets. And does your PSL allow you to collect a kickback if they use the stadium for a concert? I'll give you three guesses, and the first two don't count! My relatives in NJ were stunned about 5 years ago to hear (on the sports-talk radio station) an advertisement for game tickets and season tickets for the Giants and Jets. For decades, you could get on a waiting list for season tickets; it would take several decades for you to get to the top of the list. Not anymore! Amazing the Chargers can't fill the joint. It only holds 27,000!! But I've heard San Diego folks hate L.A. with every fiber of their being.

LA has the most fickle sports fans in the nation. Unless their teams are dominant, they're not interested. Why the NFL imagined that football would work there after leaving LA because of poor support, not just with one team but with two. But then, I'm not Ivy League educated. The whole kneeling controversy didn't help, though it might have been viewed positively in LA.

Since announcing his candidacy for President in 2015, Donald Trump has dominated the national news cycle — largely to the benefit of legacy media companies. As a growing amount of their airtime centered upon their hatred of the businessman turned politician, many witnessed sharp increases in their audience sizes. The New York Times, for instance, saw more subscriptions in the last three months of 2016 than all of 2015 combined. During election week in 2020, CNN saw a 135% increase in viewership over the first week of November 2019. After the inauguration of President Biden, however, legacy media saw double-digit drops in their viewership.

Democrats call their current massive spending bill a "COVID relief" bill, but the half-trillion-dollar bailout of state governments has nothing to do with COVID-19 relief. Plenty of states are doing poorly fiscally, but generally, this has nothing to do with the pandemic and everything to do with their own mismanagement.This was a disputed point back in the spring, but no more. The numbers are in. The coronavirus has not left most states struggling for revenue the way people originally expected.The Congressional Budget Office is anticipating 4.6% economic growth in 2021.

There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
