Was It Worth It?

On Sunday, my son attended a year end party for his football team.  There was pizza, bowling, awards, and such.  It was a fun time. 

The facility where the party was held had televisions playing all over.  Many of the sets were tuned to NFL football games.  Of note,  I saw one in particular - it was playing the Falcons vs. the Cowboys. The stadium was near vacant. 

I made it a point to look at the seats. So many were empty. I'd estimate that 3/4 Of the seats or more were vacant during game time. The sound being played in the background was as if it was a full stadium cheering raucously... it was laughable.

Twitter account, @emptyseatspics has many pictures of empty stadiums.  Of course, #FakeNews sources will say these pictures are taken at pregame or during halftime. That's simply not what I saw.  The Falcons stadium had fewer people in attendance than many local high school teams.

Was it worth it, NFL?
