Percent of 49ers fans at the Opener?

[DallasEast]

Ironically, I will be contributing to the 49er percentage of fans in attendance. My best friend is a 49er fan, even though his allegience has been suspect from time to time. He, along with my brother (Saints fan) and another friend (who is a Cowboys fan thankfully) will be riding with me to the game. He came with me to the Giants game last year. Hopefully, he will be my lucky charm for a second straight opening season game (lol).

People move a lot these days & it's not a surprise to watch a game & see large pockets of the opponent's fans at any game. Fans form clubs & hit the bars, stadiums, etc.

49er fans have a hard enough time showing up at their own games.

This! They didn't call it CowboyStick Park for nothing. Jerry can easily pack up and move to the bay with both Niners and Raiders in town and STILL sell out a 90k stadium.. NorCal Cowboys..

Advertising - the techniques and practices used to bring products, services, opinions, or causes to public notice for the purpose of persuading the public to respond in a certain way toward what is advertised. ( http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/6801/advertising )

Jerry Jones and the franchise are financially supported by fans directly and indirectly.

Direct financial support is achieved whenever a fan makes a purchase of some product or service related to the Dallas Cowboys or the NFL, like a jersey, tour, etc.

Indirect financial support occurs whenever a fan subjects himself or herself to advertising.

Here is how indirect financial support of Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys (or the NFL period) works. Advertisers promote their products and services to viewers and listeners through commercial advertisements they create. In order to get their message seen or heard, advertisers pay broadcasters. In turn, broadcasters pay the NFL (and, in some cases, directly to the teams) for the right to air advertisers' messages during league games.

Whether a viewer or listener makes an actual purchase because of an advertiser's message is irrelevant. What is relevant is that an advertiser has paid for the opportunity to influence a purchase.

So, anyone who sees or hears an ad, during a televised or radio broadcast of an NFL game is tied financially to Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys by association. It does not matter whatsoever whether a viewer or listener of an NFL game spends one red cent of their hard earned money on anything remotely connected to the NFL. The simple act of watching or listening to an NFL game validates the advertisers investment in getting their message out to consumers. And the advertisers (through the media and the league) pay Jerry Jones.

There is only one way anyone can claim they do not support Jerry Jones financially. Anyone making that claim must begin severing themselves for all personal opportunities watching or listening to any NFL games. However, that is only the first step for legitimizing such a claim. After all, there are other financial ties to Jerry Jones which have nothing to do with watching NFL games...

That's a pretty unique number. Are you should you're an actualist and not an actuary?

Actually...

[jazzcat22]

I don't financially support this franchise anymore.

And seems you don't morally support them either.....

I think Zordon meant he no longer buys gear or goes to the games. That was my take anyway. Then it went off into all these other discussions.

For some reason to some on here people like to question other people's levels of fan appreciation. I'm not sure why that is important.

Look, guys. Fan interest doesn't usually start falling off until after our annual catastrophic loss to Detroit.

LOL

This thread has several gems including this one...

Because when a person continues to go out of their way to slam the Cowboys many will question that person as a fan. Give me a break posting about how many fans 9ers will have at the game? Dallas does pretty well packing fans in at other teams stadium as well.

Oh well. They will have plenty just as Dallas does on the road.

I think everybody in the forum knew what he meant. lol

Zordon was targeted because his logic was s flawed. To no longer support Cowboys financially is to divest yourself from everything that could potentially generate revenue for them. That's not just buying gear, but wearing existing gear, watching them on TV.

Mind you, we ALL know Zordon's not going to do that, so that's why he's getting so much snark. He's not the first guy to say I'm not going to do something and turn around and is all in with the 'boys.

I'm still waiting on this one guy who posted a few years back he was going to "fade away" to actually fade away. lol

Basically nobody's taking Z seriously.

There was one guy on here who said he was no longer supporting the team & leaving the board & I have not seen him since. I forget his name. I really don't watch the Cowboys games thru because I have the Sunday Ticket & a heavy hand with the remote so I go game to game & come on here & read the game scroll to see what is going on.

I heard somebody dogging the Rockets this am at the airport. They better step it up.

I've yet to see a guy truly leave and never come back... It's the offseason and it's easy to give up. When the season comes back around, folks come back around. And the reason why is that 99% of the time anyone who is posting on here is a real, diehard Cowboys fan. Some may find other places to share their views, but it's not because they're no longer a fan.

Probably so but I like other teams as well so I'm not as "diehard" as some. I forget the guy's name who said he was leaving but I haven't seen him on here in a long time.

 

[Zordon]

niners are a regional team. Outside of CA theyre fans are minimal.

They had a big 49ers crowd in St Louis and NY Jets last season. They will represent in Dallas.

You like other teams?! That's blasphemy!
