NFL should be alarmed that three of four playoff games still not sold out

Yeah, and it was cold/snowed the entire game. The tickets also aren't much cheaper than NFL playoff tickets, and yet, not only did they sell the place out, it looked like there were no empty seats. So it's BS that it's simply because of HDTV that fans don't want to go to the playoff games. It's because, as has been said, the NFL has sold out to the casual fans so much that the real fans don't give a shit anymore. The fact that they can't sell out a playoff game in GREEN BAY, where fans are used to conditions like that, is very, VERY telling.

And I just heard on the radio that there won't be blackouts because local companies stepped forward and bought the tickets. That's pretty pitiful.

Agree...I like the idea that some companies are buying up the tickets and donating them...but couldn't have say the Colts stepped up and paid the for the tickets and donated them? Would've been a nice thing...
