Id say your avg football fan watches regularly on tv.

1. Easier to watch
2. More camera angles than any other sport.
3. Much cheaper

Just a few reasons.

Most ticket holders belong to coorporate businesses or fairly wealthy people. Not to say all of them are.

It seems silly to me that a sport thats seems to be made for tv has all of their teams building stadiums to hold more people. Especially in this economic climate
