Also many inside areas. Located throughout the stadium. And people love to socialize. And be able to eat inside at the game. See club seats and budzone.
If You are comparing to wall to wall can't walk seating. Yes it was empty. But if you do rational comparing to other simular markets. No it is not empty and not even close.
Khan gives people what many other owners do not. Options. And allows people to be in the stadium and watching it inside. Rather than traditional seating. Cause people pay to do so.
This right here, a lot of people were inside, was my first time with us assured tickets and didnt know that many people sit in there.
Love reading the excuses......
I actually gave my tickets to my son and daughter-in-law because I was gifted a couple of club seats.
From my perspective, the turnout was disappointing. I won't say that the stadium was "empty", but I can recall games in the past that were sellouts and the stadium was no question about it, full.
This game by no means was close to one of the "sellout" games in the past. While I do appreciate the fans that were there and it was a good atmosphere, it's still nothing like it used to be.

Totally agree. I sat on the east side and there was a lot of teal from empty seats showing through. 61,000 tickets may have been distributed but a significant number of the recipients stayed home.

Well, this game was against the lowly Colts and we technically had our best turnout at the 'Bank with over 61,000.
Lets see next week when an actual good team comes to town.

91% full? Not sure if I buy that. If it had Corn or Blank #2 tho I could have been assured of sell out and high attendance status.
4k less than what the New England Patriots average. As long as we are in the 60's who cares. If we were down in the 40's I'd be concerned. We're a small market and will always be in the bottom third of the league in attendance. As long as we are hovering around the other teams in the bottom third, that seems reasonable for us.
Honestly, could it be that a lot of Jacksonvillians are so unaccustomed to the prospect of a winning Jags team that it still hasn't sunk in what a extraordinary improvement we've had from year to year? It's been a culture of losing for so long. Probably most casual folks don't even realize our record could possibly be this good. But hey, if we got more than 90% of the tickets sold, that sounds good.
I thought the crowd was fine. Some empty seats where visiting fans normally get block seats.
I commented to my brother how amazingly fast the place fills up.

Not impressed. Thats still ranks around #29 in the league in attendance.
Our fan base is die hard... the people that have been coming tot the games in the past 10 years are still there. Our team being 8-4 has not (yet) increased ticket sales at all it seems.

Well, that is about what our market size is so I would expect us to be around there.

Considering we are the smallest market (technically Green Bay is smaller), being 29th out of 32 seems like a win.

That's hard for me to believe, based on the swaths of empty seats I saw. There's no way that number of people were at the concession stands, or in the Bud Zone, or elsewhere.
The stadium was hardly empty...though there were seats in the upper east side empty. The west side, NEZ, SEZ was full of fans.

I was there. As mentioned, home side was pretty full. The visitor side looked like 35-40% seats empty at any time during the game.
