Colts-Redskins Postgame Thread

So, attendance was somewhere around 57,000+ yesterday. I noticed the stands were barely half full. This is a season home opener, WTF? Florence was nowhere near Maryland, in fact the weather looked to be perfect there yesterday. What is the deal? Are the fans saying they have finally had enough? Is this a sign of things to come, or was this just an exception to the rule?

A lot of people were acting like Florence was going to affect Maryland for some reason.

I’m pretty sure about 10,000 of those were Colts fans judging from the Let’s Go Colts cheers in the 4th.

It is definitely a sign imo. I doubt the hurricane had any impact because most tickets to a home opener would've been sold months ago. Maybe it hurt ticket sales in the last week or two but that is it.

There's just so many ways to keep up with games now people have realized that they don't need to spend money on overpriced tickets, beer, food and parking. Not to mention the hassle of getting into and out of the stadium. Teams aren't reducing seating capacity because people are knocking down the door to get in.
