Last year (2019)  numbers showed us #22 at 504k this is ahead of the Steelers, Bears, Cardinal Colts, Raiders, Buccaneers, Bengals and Chargers.

The previous year 2018 (with the bump from a playoff run in 2017) #15 at 552k putting us ahead of Seattle, Minnesota, New England, Cleveland, Miami, Bills, Titans. Steelers, Lions, Cardinals, Bears Redskins, Colts, Raiders, Buccaneers, Bengals and Chargers.

The only thing wrong with our attendance is the fact that there is a large portion of the opposing teams fans that help our attendance.  That said, even if we had a very average team (8-8) our fans would really support this team.  It's really hard to sell this team year after year when they only win 5 games per year on average over the past decade.  I compare us to the Pittsburgh Pirates.  Fans are eager to support but when you constantly suck, fans become disheartened and find more satisfying ways to spend their disposable income.
