Very disturbing trend

[ryanbabs]

I know this has been beat to death, but the amount of opposing fans that enter our house on gameday has to stop. I went to the Steelers game last year and it was ridiculous. The Packer game, from what I heard during the game and from those that were there, was possibly worse. Almost half of our stadium filled the foes has to stop.

I went to a Lions/Packers game at Detroit last year while on business, and there were not that many Packer fans there at all. It would be comparable to the number of fans at a Buccaneers/Cowboys game at Cowboys Stadium. I guess there are just too many tickets available to everyone for these games.

One of these days, this team will be very good again. Until then, this trend will probably continue unless we play a team like the Jags or Bills.

If Cowboys fans aren't showing up, that's a good thing for now. Unfortunately, fans of other teams will swoop up those tickets.

As the apathy grows, fans won't want to attend games and are more apt to selling their tickets.

If the Cowboys were hot (or even legit) where everyone wanted to see them play the opposing team wouldn't have as many fans there.

Honestly, I have been to a few games at ATT and the stadium has such a lack of intimacy to the team, it really doesn't even matter. We will never have a strong home field advantage in it. It's an event center more than the Cowboys Stadium.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

well, If I was a season ticket holder, I would try to recoup as much money as possible, rather than go see this circus that Jerry calls entertaining! Season ticket holders are making plenty of money from their tickets, I would think!

With all due respect, the Cowboys are in the thick of a playoff race. This is simple how Dallas fans are and always have been.

I hope you have a lot of patience if you are waiting for this team to be good again. After all, look who is running the organization. And Jerry does not care one bit WHO is in the seats as long as the seat has been paid for and there is a body in that seat.

that was Jerry plan all along was to build a sport center that would be recession proof in terms of cowboys winning or losing.

Welcome to the world of fans of other teams who face a ton of Cowboy fans at their games.

After Sundays collapse ( I was at game it was about 30% pack fans ) I wouldn't go watch that garbage for free . It'll save me a trip to the psych ward .

ATT Stadium - neutral site. Maybe the Cowboys can start playing in London for good.

I concur and agree!

When the packers scores their first TD of the 2nd half I heard this tremendous cheer and walked into the lifing room, assured that the Cowboys had executed a great play.

I asked a fellow inmate, what happened? He say the Packers scored. Whaaaa?

We can't limit opponents fans from showing up. It is just that Dallas has waaaaaay too many northerners who half moved south to enjoy our (usually great) weather.
But It must rile San Diego and Arizona fans too to hear so many cowboy fans cheering at their home games. Goes with the territory.

If we can't beat the Skins, maybe we don't deserve to hope for a playoff game.

Get back to us next week.

If you want a better fan base that doesn't give away its tickets, field a better team. It's just that simple.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

I think it's a good sign. Jerry refuses to hire a real GM and Cowboy fans are seeing that that's resulting in a crap product being put on the field. Fans are staying home for the same reason I quit eating at a local Mexican restaurant that used to be good, but recently started serving lousy food. If a product stinks, customers don't buy it. Basic economics. The Steelers fans, Packers fans, or whoever know they can enjoy a quality team beating up on a bad one, so they come. I would love to see home games start to look like visiting games. THEN maybe Jerry would catch a clue that his running things results in a lousy product. THEN maybe he'll finally step down. What would be even better would be empty stadiums and hence revenue loss, but that's probably too much to hope for.

 

[Bill Wooten]

If I were a fan of an opposing team, Dallas would be high on my list of places to attend an away game. Good chance their team will win, home fans that don't have a reputation of violence, usually easy flights since Dallas is a hub, good entertainment options outside the game to make a weekend out of it.

So from Jerry's perspective, the visiting team fan's money spends just as well as Cowboys fans money. Either way he makes money.

JMO but that was the Jones family plan all along.

Welcome to the world of fans of other teams who face a ton of Cowboy fans at their games.

And this is true and what makes it even more frustrating. We have so many fans everywhere and we get these other team's fans filling our stadium.

 

[JBell]

We need some anti-RKG fans to stab opposing fans in the parking lots after losses. Or at least pour beer on someone if we're losing.

Time to send a message to other teams that this is OUR turf. Opposing fans are getting way too comfortable.

To add:

I've been to almost all the games this year, even Sundays loss to the Packers. There were a bunch of Packer fans for sure, but it wasn't near half. Cowboy fans just aren't a rambunctious crowd and never have been.

When we were kicking the Packers *** in the first half 26-3 they weren't loud at all. Unfortunately season ticket holders like myself throughout the stadium are more than aware of the epic Cowboy collapses that have been happening for years now and it seems to always float doubt above our heads.

Until that trend and bad taste is exhausted from this team it will continue to hover around. You could just feel it in the air in the 2nd half vs the Packers when it began it happen.
