Turnstile Tracker: Jaguars Only NFL Team Under 80% Capacity

The NFL is averaging 67,835 fans per game through Week Six, down 2% from the same point last year. The Jaguars are seeing the sharpest drop among all NFL teams (-29.5%), and they are the only club under 80% capacity. Among AFC teams, which are down 4% as a conference, the Dolphins are the only franchise seeing any significant attendance gains, up 2.9%. But the team is only filling Land Shark Stadium to 88.9% capacity. The Raiders are seeing a double-digit drop at the gate, down 15.7% through three home games. The chart below lists AFC attendance through Week Six, with comparisons to the same period a year ago. See tomorrow's issue of THE DAILY for NFC attendance (THE DAILY).
