The paid attendance was 72,324 last Sunday, but NFL.com claims that we only had about 55,000 in attendance. Now I was at the game, and IMO, we had a lot more then 55,000.
Thoughts?

I too was at the game, and I remember thinking that attendence was poor when the game first started, but it filled in well. I think actual attendence was probably in the 65K (give or take a few thousand) range as the only open seats looked like the upper corners of the upper deck.
I'd bet that 12,000 were out of the heat at the bars and hot dog stands watching it on tv on the shady side! I know I was for a third of the game. It was F-ing blistering out there!
i was feeling 65 myself. there def wasnt almost 20,000 empty seats, and that place was loud. i just hope its going to be that loud again in 2 weeks vs the panthers

how do you not sell out opening day? is it the heat that keeps people away from your games or what?

it was a sellout...just not everyone showed up. there wasnt that many empty seats...but it was hot as hell. the temp gauge in the truck was right around 98 at 11 am when we rolled up. never mind heat index humidity and such, also its much hotter with everyone crammed into the stadium, ive never been that hot in my life i thought i was going to pass out from screaming,thats why we some seats were empty, but id watch the fins anywhere, so ya gotta suck it up nd do your job as a fan

we were a sellout only because the tv station bought out the rest of the tickets so it could be aired. I would say about 62,000 at the game. But damn, the parking lot was packed....
