http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5450044 Even though we had a horrible season we had the 4th highest home attendence in the NFL (behind the Skins, Giants & Chiefs) This makes me proud because even though our team was playing poorly the Gang Green fans showed up & cheered them on. Give yourself a pat on the back Jets fans.
Unfortunately, I am pretty sure the Jets count tickets sold, not tickets used. The place was pretty dead the last couple games.
i agree with mantana, they obviously didnt count tickets used considering the stadium was maybe 2/3 full the last quarter of the season. but, we are in the new york/metropolitan area, so no matter how bad we suck we will always have decent ticket sales im surprised the colts werent up there as high considering they 13-0 start, i woudlve figured they would have one of the highest.
Your tickets are scanned as you enter the stadium. That is how they are counted. The article means the whole season. We were packed up until the last two games.
the article states "led the league in paid attendance last season" paid attendance is tickets sold not asses in the seats -- the jets and giants sell out before the season starts -- if we had a bigger stadium we would still be sold out -- even if no one shows up to a game the paid attendance is a sellout
People were coming, but they apparently weren't staying. People were going to the stadium ordering hot dogs to go!
Incorrect! Jets lead the world in no-shows. As stated, it's tickets sold, and the Jets and Giants play in a big stadium and sell out every year before the first ball is kicked (to the 16 by Nugent ). The reason the Skins are # 1 every year is because Fed Ex has the most seats to sell.
The complete list. Rank-Team-Total Attendance-Average Attendance Code: 1 Washington 716,999 89,624 2 NY Giants 628,519 78,564 3 Kansas City 623,325 77,915 4 NY Jets 619,958 77,494 5 Denver 608,790 76,098 6 Carolina 587,700 73,462 7 Cleveland 578,330 72,291 8 Miami 575,256 71,907 9 Buffalo 575,248 71,906 10 Atlanta 565,106 70,638 11 Baltimore 563,076 70,384 12 Green Bay 562,419 70,302 13 Houston 562,397 70,299 14 Tennessee 553,192 69,149 15 New England 550,048 68,756 16 Philadelphia 541,393 67,674 17 Seattle 532,954 66,619 18 San Diego 529,916 66,239 19 Cincinnati 526,469 65,808 20 Jacksonville 525,519 65,689 21 St. Louis 523,685 65,460 22 San Francisco 523,426 65,428 23 Tampa Bay 521,741 65,217 24 Minnesota 511,960 63,995 25 Pittsburgh 507,434 63,429 26 Dallas 505,258 63,157 27 Chicago 496,965 62,120 28 Detroit 492,580 61,572 29 Indianapolis 457,373 57,171 30 Oakland 418,450 52,306 31 New Orleans 417,270 52,158 32 Arizona 297,568 42,509 Indianapolis surprises me. What doesn't surprise me, though, is how my favorite team, the Oakland Radi?rs, invited a whole bunch of crickets to their games. New Orleans and Arizona at least have plausible excuses for dragging the league down. That said, Crazy Al will fill his colostomy with glee when he hears that his team led the league in attracting pirates, tranvestites, smog monsters, road warriors, satan worshippers, and fat chicks.
If both the Jets and Giants share a stadium, and they both sell out well before the season starts. How do we have different attendance? it looks like the Giants sell 1,000 more tickets per game than we do. WTF
