Bleeding Bills Blue Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 2 hours ago, BigDingus said: We're actually 30th in attendance for road games. http://www.espn.com/nfl/attendance/_/sort/awayAvg Or you're talking about percentage. I guess that makes sense for all the displaced Bills fans. Kudos there. But I was talking about home games and how "if the situations were reversed" in regards to the Miami game, we'd have apparently sold out. We wouldn't have, and didn't in week 15, even though it was the LAST HOME GAME, against a division rival, and with playoffs on the line. No, you can see attendance by those who checked into the game. It's posted after each game. Also, if you have eyes you can look at the Bills stadium and see all the empty seats, like with Miami in week 15, and know it's definitely not even close to full capacity. So did anyone answer how you can be over 100% attendance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a "sell out" is set lower than actual capacity sell out, I think for blackout rules. They do not show "actual attendance" at the end of the game like OP said they show tickets sold and call it "attendance." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: Dallas The seating configuration is expandable to accommodate 100,000 for major events, including when AT&T Stadium hosted Super Bowl XLV in February 2011.

Please try to keep up ....not to worry!!...Dunkirk Don's new dome venue will have a lesser capacity and once all of his screen names buy season tix, we'll be at 98.837% capacity, right?.............

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I dunno, I've been to Miami for a game and that place was like half-full. MAYBE. And they put attendance at 64800 (https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201509270mia.htm). I think its literally BS fluffed up numbers that they show to corporate sponsors. There is no real data lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badasss Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Does this mean that Pittsburgh only sells 91.3% of its tickets for home games? I doubt it. They're sold out every year. This must mean 'actual' attendance (not paid attendance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly are not low on big dinguses as proved by OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
