Buccaneers Attendance Up 19% Over Last Year; Redskins Seeing Drop At The Gate

NFC teams through Week 12 of the NFL season are averaging 68,544 fans per game, relatively flat with attendance at the same point last season. The Cowboys lead all NFL clubs in attendance with 83,885 fans per game. The Buccaneers are seeing the NFC's biggest gain (19.0%), thanks in part to the 76,981 fans that attended the team's designated home game played at Wembley Stadium in London against the Bears. The Redskins have the NFC's largest drop (-9.4%). Listed below is team-by-team attendance for NFC clubs through Week 12, with comparisons to the same period last season.
