NFL Team Plays in Mostly Empty Stadium Despite Tickets Selling for Less Than $…

The problems of one NFL side go way beyond their poor performances on the field.

Carolina Panthers failed to fill their stadium for Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, despite tickets in the run-up to the game going for as little as $0.45. Tickets for the best seats were priced at $5.

Photos from Sunday’s game showed tens of thousands of empty seats, with Mediaite suggesting that it was mainly a result of the team’s recent poor form.

After drafting quarterback Bryce Young with the number one pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the team and its fans hoped that this season would mark the start of its return to championship contention,” the outlet reported.

Unfortunately, the exact opposite has happened as the team is doing significantly worse than its 7-10 performance last season. Heading into Sunday’s game against the 6-7 Atlanta Falcons, the Panthers were a league-worst 1-12.”

Meanwhile, the sports website SB Nation described Sunday’s game as the “saddest three hours of football this season.”

“It’s par for the course in what’s without question the worst season in the history of Panthers football,” the outlet noted. “With nothing to be excited about, a cold afternoon in Charlotte, and season ticket holders locked into their payments — why not try to recoup the money for 19 ounces of gasoline?

“This is such a sad state of affairs for Carolina, and an utter embarrassment for owner David Tepper.”
