Was the stadium really as empty as it looked

Jalapeno : 10/20/2019 10:36 pm
on TV when the Giants had the ball at the end of the 4th Quarter?

50% at most...

That was a sad image.
Would you sit through rain to root for a team  
Junior22 : 10/20/2019 10:45 pm : link
coached by a guy who has no clue about how to be a winning coach. Today the team was not prepared and took this game as a win and got smacked to reality. When you are a bad team and think you can overlook an opponent it screams of some real internal issues with this organization
Tickets to today's game were dirt cheap

on Stubhub this morning. My youngest has been getting after me to take him to a game, so I considered it before I saw the forecast. Talk about lucky, a little less precipitation in the radar and I would have had to pay to sit and watch that shit in person.
Stadium was full

People got tired of sitting in the rain.

My seats are undercover...plenty of people standing behind us and watching from vestibule
It was pouring.  
Vin_Cuccs : 10/20/2019 11:22 pm : link
And as many said, most people either moved under the overhang, or were watching from the concourse.

That reminds me: think of how that poor guy who won 100 years' worth of Giants tickets on draft night feels.
The crowd was big and loud, considering the

LESS cover than the old one did. Yet one more issue...ah don't get me started.
I was there

And it was raining. Many people down below watching on video screens.
Stadium looked full to start the game  
RobCrossRiver56 : 10/21/2019 8:45 am : link
but it started raining at 12:30 and never let up. The beginning of the 3rd qtr it really started pouring and the ponchos were not doing so well. Spent the end of the 3rd in the corridor drying off and watching on the big screens inside. Family gave up in the 4th as they became wet and cold.
It definitely

Was pretty empty. I checked ticket prices at 12:55pm and they were going for $10. I paid $35 for mine the night before

It was a steady, unrelenting downpour. There were a ton of people watching in the corridors leading out to the field, almost to the point where you couldn't get through in some spots. Some people definitely took off early, but for the most part, I think a lot of people were watching inside on the TVs, sadly. I personally gutted it out, but I'm a special individual.
Miserable day at the stadium  
Oscar : 10/21/2019 10:21 am : link
Don’t go to games often, bad luck that I picked yesterday as the day to go. Honestly won’t mind if I never go to another game, that stadium is brutal. Feels like you are watching from the International Space Station if you’re in the upper deck and there’s no cover. Envious of all the teams with these nice domed stadiums.
Many of the fans are probably over 60  
5BowlsSoon : 10/21/2019 10:24 am : link
These guys don’t want to get wet....trust me, I know.
Both the lower level and mezzanine sideline seats have nice clubs  
Scyber : 10/21/2019 10:27 am : link
In bad weather, many of the people in those seats will go inside to hang out inside the clubs instead of staying in the rain. This always makes the crowd shots look worse than they are.

Same thing happens in nice weather when the 2nd half starts and a ton of people are still inside from halftime.

You're joking I know, but I think that guy had to pay income tax on the face value of those tickets. Given what they were available for yesterday, that guy is probably hoping they start getting better fast...

I was there and agree with this. I don't blame anyone considering the team is coached by a fucking buffoon. I sat through it and enjoyed the atmosphere, tbh; the place still got loud despite everything when it needed to.
Horrible game to sit through, one of the worst I can remember  
regulator : 10/21/2019 12:28 pm : link
I made it through about 40 minutes of play and headed under cover, then bailed not long into the 4th. Soaked to the core... I did not expect that kind of sustained downpour, nor did I expect such putrid football.

Fitting, I guess.

Couldn't hold a candle in terms of horrible games to sit through to the Titans game last year. There was less rain last year but it was much colder and we got shutout.
