NFL Attendance Remains Flat Through Week 10 Despite Vikings' Move To Smaller Venue

Despite an extra game in London and the Vikings having to relocate to a much smaller venue while the club's new stadium is built, NFL team attendance remains relatively flat through Week 10 of the '14 season. The Vikings are easily selling out games at TCF Bank Stadium, but the college venue has around 12,000 fewer seats than the Metrodome. Among NFC clubs, the Falcons are seeing the biggest gains, up 5% at the Georgia Dome despite the team's losing record. Only two NFC team -- the Giants and Redskins -- are seeing a decline of any significance, as attendance is down 2% and 3% at Met Life Stadium and FedExField, respectively. Listed below is team-by-team attendance for the NFC. See tomorrow's issue for AFC figures (THE DAILY).
