49er fans at the stadium

[ufcrules1]

I'm not sure I can express properly how repugnant I find this sentiment. Eagles fans are a blight on the NFL and should not be emulated in any way.

It's also not a war simulation. It's a football game. Sheesh.

You will never have to worry about that mentality in Dallas. If anything, the fans here have to fear the traveling teams fans. haha

The people expecting everyone to not buy tickets need to read up on Personal Seat Licenses. Emptying out AT&T Stadium is never happening.

More.

That's absurd. With parking and all the expenses, it must be huge. And Jerry still puts out that garbage... SMH

 

[Nation]

See - this is one thing Eagles fans have right.

When an ENEMY comes to INVADE YOUR TERRITORY. There SHOULD BE CONSEQUENCES. ENEMY FANS should FEAR invading other stadiums.

If they don't, the home team fans aren't doing their job IMO. This is A WAR SIMULATION on the football field - not tiddliewinks.

It's not a war simulation. The US troops didn't shake hands with the Japanese troops after the A-Bomb was dropped. There were no bro-hugs dished out after The Battle of Yorktown. And there certainly have not been any group prayers between US Troops and the Taliban in the War on Terror. It really is not even close. And there is no need for Cowboys fans to act like white trash just for the sake of acting like white trash.

LOL...I said something like this to a Houston fan a few days ago.

She said her friends were talking about a bus that will go to the Texans - Cowboys game, but they feared what may happen from the Dallas fans and things they heard in general about just the area. She was referring to the party pass area more so than general seating.

I told her, that the Cowboys fans are laid back from that kind of problems, they wouldn't need to fear anything. And if so, they would have to fear their own fans most likely.

Another time, went to a game, Cowboys - Eagles. A friend of mine who is a Steelers fan, and hates the Eagles. So he wore his Steelers jersey. No one said a thing to him, but he got a few hateful looks from Eagles fans.
Well, one Cowboys fan did say...hey Polamalu, you going for Eagles or Cowboys...he said I have to break down and go for the Boys....

 

[DallasEast]

Dude if you think think fans paid face value for seats in section 219 then I have some land to sell you. I have been a season ticket holder for years, I know what I'm talking about.

Okay.

With regards to empty seats, what is your point?

See my earlier post.

Do you really think I'm going to pay for my seats and not sell them or go to the game? Only way that is happening is if Jerry himself agrees to pay double face value so I don't sell them. We both know that isn't happening.

Okay.

Jerry is getting just what he wants, a packed house. The results of the game doesn't matter as long as those seats are paid for.

And okey dokey times three.

If you look at last year, on a percentage of capacity on a straight attendance basis, Dallas was 1st in the league in terms of home attendance, 11th on the road, and 2nd overall:

http://espn.go.com/nfl/attendance/_/year/2013/sort/allPct

What about the TV attendance. Idgit, you're not going to tell me about my hometown man. I see it with my own eyes! People are so turned away by this franchise it's not even funny. Nobody talks about them anymore like the 90s, every time they are brought up in asocial setting it's to ridicule them. You go out to North Park Mall or Stonebriar Mall or WestEnd...you're going to see kids in Mavericks/Rangers gear 3 to 1 EASILY.

Every DFW native on here will back me up on this.

Are we discussing Dallas area Nielsen households or overall Nielsen households?

Are we discussing Dallas area Nielsen households or overall Nielsen households?

Early rating returns for the Cowboys-49ers in the season opener at AT&T Stadium show the game scored a 29.5, meaning almost 30 percent of homes in Dallas-Fort Worth watched the loss on KDFW (Channel 4).

The rating remained relatively steady throughout. The game opened at 29.2 and closed at 29.6.

Slightly down from last year, but mainly because it wasn't a night game per the article.

I wonder if Ticketmaster, StubHub, etc., releases resell ticket data? That would be very relevant. The data would "somewhat" determine the ratio of Cowboys fans who resold their season tickets for the game--as opposed to the number of first-run tickets not originally purchased by Cowboys fans and subsequently bought by 49ers fans. The latter assumption would preclude a much more apathetic motivation.

If significant numbers of Cowboys fans are not hustling to buy non-season tickets when the franchise originally puts them up for sell, it is clear dissatisfaction with the overall product. Observing the attending crowds' colors during the next seven home games shall more clearly indicate the accuracy of this hypothesis. In other words, the more games with a majority of non-silver and blue colors shall prove customer dissatisfaction is high.




On the other hand, the former assumption may combine an economic element with a degree of apathy. Regardless whether Cowboys fans or other team fans are sitting their butts in them, season tickets are essentially pre-purchase seats. The investment is already made. Without question, apathy plays a factor here as well, but not to the degree associated with the first assumption. In effect, season ticket holders were committed to attending games, decided attending the game was not pleasurable, but not to the degree preventing the recoup and profit from their original investment allotted for the game.

It would have been really interesting to see visibly empty seats, somewhat indicative of season ticket holders not reselling their tickets. Empty seats would have been a tangible sign that season ticket holder satisfaction was running high for week 1. Such a sight would be more damaging to Jerry Jones' marketing strategy to entice potential buyers in purchasing season ticket packages in the future. Oh well. Jones has already been paid. From a marketing perspective, the continued projection of filled seats will attract new season ticket buyers than dissuade them in the future.

I wish I had asked the 49er fans, sitting ALL around me at the game, whether they bought tickets at face value or resell price. It would have allowed me to formulate a generalization of whether 49er fans jumped on first-run tickets or hit Stubhub for previously purchased tickets. Maybe thinking about it would have stopped me for yelling "You have a first round pick at tackle, center and guard. RUN. THE. *******. BALL!" as often as I did.

If you want to know what ticket prices are selling for to the Saints game go to: http://www.ticketexchangebyticketma...-T-Stadium-in-Arlington-9-28-2014?PID=1555009

People are paying big bucks to see the Cowboys play. When a season ticket holder puts his tickets up for sale, he cannot chose who buys the tickets. When a season ticket holder pays 3000.00-6000.00 per year for the PSL and an additional 3000.00-6000.00 per season for the tickets I seriously doubt they will let their sats go empty just to try to prove a point to Jerry. Wont ever happen.

Dallas. This is a problem rooted in the hometown city. I can't speak on anywhere else.

Thanks. WG supplied the Nielsen numbers for Dallas a couple of posts ago.

For all those who want to send Jerry a message with empty seats, and don't want visting teams fans there either....
I have a deal for you...

And there are several options for you...

Buy my PSL's and you can buy the season tickets and let them sit empty...you are willing to let others waste their money...so now you can waste yours instead of mine.
I keep and pay for my PSL's, but you pay for the season tickets, and waste your money, but in the mean time, I can still be vested in the PSL's....while you still waste your money...

Sounds good to me.
Any takers?

WHAT!? You've actually SEEN people in the West End!!??
Last time I was down there, I thought it was where old Sasquatches went to die?

 

[big dog cowboy]

That stadium is so big that I just always presumed the Cowboys were an easy ticket to get.

They are. It's just for the wrong team.
