From my pov there, i didnt really see an empty seat in the house. There were a couple open-ish sections in the nose bleed 400s but other than that it was a madhouse

 

Awesome. Yeah looked pretty packed on TV once the game actually started. But until then....you guys like to roll late! I cant complain in my a/c living room though. Nice crowd noise on 3rd downs too.

 

In the upper deck there was either a lot of empty seats, or a lot of people wearing solid orange.

 

Paid Attendance: 70,630

 

Awesome. That seems right. You doin the sig pics again this year? Awesome start if so.

 

I can't find any photos of the whole stadium but the rows behind Tannehill in this pic are filled:

 

Yeah, like clean said there were lots upstairs, not chunks, but lots scattered thru.

We had to start somewhere.

 

Yea the place was rockin! I was impressed. At some points you could feel the upper deck moving. Not too many empty seats around except in the nosebleeds.

 

Where were u at

 

Really emptied out late in the game which was unbelievable to me. Stay and watch them get the W. Also every time they do an aerial shot I'm reminded that his is not a football stadium and while the upgrades will help it will always be a a hybrid stadium.

 

A lot of that was pats fans like leaving in disgust after the turnover on downs with 3 mins left.

 

Pissed me off, maybe they should start putting that on the checklist as well..

 

I shouldn't be by this point, but its always jarring to me how empty the stadium looks at kickoff. I guess people just late getting to their seats, but man, I can't get that mindset. Maybe thats just me because going to a game in person is such a rare and special event for me, and not for others, but I'm in my seat at least 30 minutes before the game starts.

There looked to be a lot of empty seats in the upper deck every time that they showed it on TV too.

 

If you really want to know what needs to be done, is Ross needs to hire a team of People who go around the stadium, and in the stadium, around the cheerleaders, directing the fans.... A Fandom team..a hype crew, a team of hired fans, all dressed the same getting folks out of the parking lot into their seats, and up on their feet..

Along with a million other things they can be doing..their trying I'll give them that, but I don't think they Know what their up against..this is the toughest market and fanbase in the league..you have to have a marketing strategy.

 

Denver fans.. Lol

 

I really think the canopy is going to do more for the atmosphere then you realize. Its going to provide shade which will keep butts in the seats and help with crowd noise.

 

They Left the sunscreen at home. It burnssss.

 

No you don't, you just need to win games. I was there today and there was a pretty good crowd with most of the empty seats coming from the upper parts of the stadium in the last 5-10 rows. On top of that they came out excited and ready to be involved especially after the early score. Then **** starts hitting the fan and the gets nervous. Once the second half started they were back into it. The fans want to support their team, they are just tired of by the same song and dance. My only complaint is that they make too much noise when we are in the redzone. That is stupid.

 

Yea, I saw Tannehill trying to quiet the crowd when they were on the 5 and got the BS holding call that negated the TD.

 

Probably the same people who walk in late at the movie theater.:no:

Are you off your rocker ? I mean are you serious ? What kind of a NAZI world do you want to live in. If I pay for the seat, I get there when and if I want, and I don't need to have some cheerleaders from BYU with their perky smiles and cheeriness eerily "asking me" to hurry up....and what if I don't, do they come back at me and have me arrested ? Or harrass me for being a "bad fan".

I mean c'mon......DJ you're better than this. I like the OB 2 idea but this is completely goofy.

 

Very loud and in charge on TV. Pretty loud boos from the fans to drown out any Patriot fans cheers on the Patriots few big plays. Well done! Now just keep it up against more than just the Patriots and Jets. Better crowd than at the coffin known as Gillette...

The Ravens especially! They always travel well and seem to fill our stadium even more than Steelers fans.

I can't criticize arriving late...I went to Dolphins-Jets at Metlife last year and we were having fun tailgating, got in a bit after kickoff as did many other fans. Its not just in Miami! JEts fans left early BTW :up:

 

Lol..alright then scratch it.. I wouldn't mind a dolphin hype crew though..as long as they weren't BYU perky boys..

 

Great day at the stadium!
Crowd was loud.
It was damn hot - we need more September 1PM games
We had several drunk Patriots fans near us being escorted out by the police. Some of them were clearly here on vacation and weren't enjoying the game. Always nice to send them home pissed off.
They even upgraded the food. I had a Burgerfi cheeseburger that was actually pretty good
