One of the favorite pastimes of most fans is to watch their team play. For others, it might be predicting that others are losing interest in the team and gloating when they see evidence of that. The small but vocal latter group got some ammunition with the numbers the Pittsburgh Steelers put up in 2021.
As we’ve previously written about, the Steelers were among the teams to see the steepest drops in actual attendance in games from the 2019 season to 2021 (with 2020 being excluded for obvious reasons). One significant caveat, however, is the fact that not all teams report actual attendance numbers, but rather tickets sold, which makes it impossible to make a perfect comparison.
