    Just wondering how much if any Tomlin's sideline issue had to do with yesterday's attendance? Seemed like a low turnout considering the importance of the game. I know weather was a bit of a factor. The place just looked empty.

    Once again, more of an issue of the team and the season they are having as a whole, moreso than just Tomlin's "blunder".

    Occupy Heinz?
    I've only been to Heinz once but, there were an awful lot of people standing on the ramps watching the game. Given the weather yesterday, isn't it just possible that folks were doing that and staying out of the snow?

    They actually did show a bunch of people on the ramps. Its a combination of the ticket prices not matching the quality of play on the field, and yesterday, the weather.

    13,000 no shows yesterday. Which mean the drew about 53,000 in attendance. Bad weather, not a good team equals the 13,000 no shows, should be even worse for the final two remaining home games. Sucks but it is what it is. Fans aren't going to **** in crap weather and watch a bad team. But, hey if you never have been to a game, this is the time to go. Cheap tickets.

    Now that's a sad commentary but true! Many factors are responsible for low attendance and the Steelers have a pocket full mine would be the weather.. hate the cold sleet and snow in one package.

    This. I'd still love to go to a game, but I can't bring myself to spend that kind of money on this team this year. It's a 7-8 hour drive for me, I'd need a hotel, food, booze, tickets, gas, dog kennel, etc. It could end up being a $1,000 trip for me. I'm simply not willing to spend $1,000 to go see an idiot QB throw his coach under the bus, an idiot coach who doesn't know what's going on in the game until it happens (sideline issue, constant clock management issues, etc.), among other things.

    I will always support the Steelers and I'll gladly go to a game where they loss and still enjoy every second of it, but I can't stand what this team has become. We have always been a proud organization that did things the right way. Ben and Tomlin have ruined that in my eyes. I have nothing but pure disdain for both those guys. They're a black mark on the pride of this organization.

    Yep. Weather and team performance. Nothing to do with MT's sideline antics.

    The one thing that gets owners attention quicker than anything are empty seats and them being noticed by the media.

    What I found amusing was looking on the Ticket Exchange , people still trying to get $300+ per ticket.

    I have a feeling that Tomlin is in a little more hot water than some might think. Not that I think he should be fired, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

    Just a hunch, but I'm guessing that's the Ravens headquarters?? :roflmao:

    BTW, in high school, there was this kid nicknamed "The Moon Man", and boy did ever look the part too. :lolol:
