This picture was taken during the 4th qtr of the Texans 2010 home opener vs Indy. Does that stadium look "half empty"?

This list is ****ing terrible. If you haven't been to all of them on gameday, don't rank ones you haven't been to. Worst offender: Chiefs. "I haven't been here, but hey, there's been 375 million in renovations recently, so A+!"

I'm not saying Arrowhead isn't nice. I'm just saying the dude is a complete douche.

I'd put the Superdome at about 9-11

Whoa, easy now. I wasn't saying the stadium wasn't full.. just saying that using ticket sales to determine whether an NFL stadium is truly full isn't the best way to go about it. Again, the Panthers technically sold out all of their home games, but I doubt the actual attendance numbers like you show in your second post (which proves your point better) were anywhere near the 72,000 capacity at BOA

The only team that reports actual attendance for those numbers instead of tickets sold are the Steelers. Get a waiting list longer than the Packers' and then we can say your fan base is better.

I never claimed the Texans fanbase was "better" than GB's. I just thought those numbers were amusing, given the dubious claims being made by a certain ill-informed Cheesehead earlier in this thread.

Not only that, but that list is based off home attendance which is a horrible base. You have to take stadium capacity in consideration there. Not even trying to be a homer, but the Colts are 19th on that list. Makes no sense at first(given how good they are and Peyton Manning is a ticket seller), but it does given the fact that their stadium only holds roughly 65,000 which is one of the lowest in the league.

I'm not exactly sure what the % means on that table, but if you base the list strictly from overall % it's about what you'd expect(Cowboys #1, Colts, Eagles, Pats, Steelers, Saints, Packers, etc. all in the top 10).

EDIT: I'm not arguing against your point either Coog. Just pointing it out. The Texans are 12th in overall %, but again I'm not sure what that even means. It's more of what I'd expect though.
