Fans leaving the game early....and no shows

For what it is worth, that stadium was packed yesterday and no one left early. Only a few empty seats in the upper level, and those people were clearly packed on the rotundas.

Go Yinz Stillers n' At

 

I read on Twitter that was the biggest crowd ever at Heinz Field over 67,000.

 

Because it's the holiday. People coming in to see family, Christmas gifts, etc. I was seeing a lot of orange in the lower level to start but I guess orange does really stick out. Very top seemed like a lot left. Crowd was loud though which helped out. Did they do Renegade twice or only once? After the game Jarvis Jones said the crowd noise was effecting them and that's why they had so much confusion in the 1st half. They couldn't hear each other. I don't know if I believe that. At least the crowd wasn't loud when Big Ben was at work. I think we are hard on the crowds. Watching Philly last night and it was empty with like 10 minutes left. I just don't know how hard it is if you are going to a football game block off 5-6 hours or don't go.

 

Still makes me nutz that at the end of half time, there were still a couple thousand fans in the Great Hall waiting to get something to eat (or drink)

 

Ticket prices were nuts. People trying to resell uplevel on ticket exchange for 200 a pop.

It was a big game, so people went. Wish it was that way every time we played a team.

 

Why?

 

That's my case as to why we should always try to start the second half on offense.

 

We did see a mass exodus of bronco fans after the first 4 and out and prior to Bens pick. Other than that I thought the stadiumwas really full. The start of the second half always has empty seats as fans are eating drinking and using the bathrooms. My wife and kid probably think I'm nuts cause once the game starts I don't leave my seat. I don't want to miss a second

 

If you sit up in the 500 level, and want to use the bathroom at halftime. You will use the entire halftime to just get through the line, and you might get lucky to get back to your seat before the kickoff.

 

Big game = BIG crowd = Big price.
