Notice that Tampa, Detriot, Oakland, and St Louis have Smaller stadiums and are under 85% in capacity..

Also while Arizona and Minnesota were close to 100% sell out, we are averaging more tickets sold.

Also if you look at Arizona, Oakland and Chicago capacities.. we would have 100% sold out in those stadiums.

Last but not least EVERY team below us has a LOT more People Per seat to sell thier tickets too.. Just sayin..

Maybe the media will quit talking trash about the Jaguars sales figures if they finally get the facts and just check in here to BigCatCountry.. every week.

Yea I'm talking to you Rich Eisen...

nice spreadsheet

Carolina
Tennessee
New Orleans

have less PPS than we do.

I love this stuff, as stated last week, but statistics are like bikinis. They show a lot but reveal nothing. The national media already has their story framed. All it takes is that shot of the visiting Club section and the tarps while glossing over the shots of the Bud Zone and terrace suites with people along the rails. I have a couple more takeaways from the data:

1) Isn’t it funny that the biggest market has the smallest stadium?

2) 7 stadiums exceed the max.

They’ve all either been built or renoveated in the last 10 years. Don’t think for a second the owners don’t recognize this, and our very own owner will be clamoring for a new stadium in a few years, It’s an inevitability. The stadium will be the decider on whether a team moves, not the fanbase.

3) we’re one of 5 teams that has had 3 home games thus far. We’ve answered the call so far. The stretch with Houston, Oakland and Cleveland is vital toward our nullification of the national perception.

4) Over the first 2 games, Oakland is about 9K below our average attendance last season. Does Roger Goodell dare address the Oakland ownership and community and declare that 40,000 is unacceptable for an average attendance? Or is Oakland untouchable til Al Davis dies and the NFL sees the actual succession plan.

5) In the “race to LA” derby, from my vantage point, if you look at the overall numbers, we’re in a dead heat with Minnesota, and Oakland, San Diego and St. Louis are ahead of us. We’ve beaten the horse to death.

The ONLY thing that scares me is the above mentioned succession plan. Who does Wayne Weaver hand it off to? Hell, who does Ralph Wilson hand it off to? This is where I wish Wayne had a son like Clark Hunt out in KC. He’s made some brass moves over the past 2 years and re-energized that fanbase.
