vmax Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 It's a bandwagon following.If the team is crappy, the fans disappear. If they can't brag and gloat, then staying home is more appealing. The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't having any trouble selling tickets, but they are having some trouble getting people to use the tickets they buy. According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Steelers fans have been no-showing at prime time games recently, which gives the appearance of an empty stadium.The lack of fans has been so noticeable that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell actually asked Steelers owner Dan Rooney about the subject in a 'casual conversation' last week.The Steelers counted 7,346 no-shows for their most recent prime time game, a Monday nighter in Week 7 against the Texans. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24775640/goodell-talks-to-steelers-owner-about-fan-no-show-problem-at-home-games "We've got Sunday Night Band practice. Sorry!"
