Die Hard Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 On 8/14/2022 at 5:17 PM, 88Comrade2000 said: As long as Dan owns the team, the team will have attendance issues. Part of that will be due to the team's performance but there will be a part due to people not wanting to give Snyder a damn dime, regardless of the team's performance. Attendance this year will be like it is every year. The only way you will see more attendance by Commies fans is if we get off to a 8-4 or better start; then you will probably see more fans down the stretch. It won’t happen. This team has had good starts/halves in recent seasons… and it didn’t stop the decline. It’s going to take more than 1 good/great season to get fans back. This isn’t just about winning/losing…. Washington fans aren’t fickle. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraCommander Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) I think there will be an uptick in attendance this year if they can get the sports book up and running in time. Shouldn't be too hard. Apparently you're not allowed to have it open game days. What's the point? Washington Commanders received initial approval to put a retail sportsbook at FedEx Field. The NFL's current policy prohibits sportsbooks inside stadiums from opening on gamedays. Source says Commanders know this stipulation and plan to move forward in compliance w/ the policy.

The sports book wont help attendance directly but more so indirectly. they have made an effort recently to make improvements to stadium even if some our cosmetic. revenue from a sports book would go a long way to continued improvements, player contracts etc, would would likely help with attendance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I read articles from 2020 indicating that teams would be allowed to operate sportsbooks in stadiums on gamedays as part of the CBA that year. Did something change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should in theory of course bring in at least some attendance I would imagine. Especially considering the lack of options for sports betting right now in Maryland. I’m going to venture a guess it’s going where there the team store was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been at the stadium I think four times since mid July and where the team store was just has signs on the doors saying under construction but every time I’ve been nothings been done other than everything’s been ripped out. That’s part of why I’m guessing that’s where it goes probably waiting for approval before doing actual work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) 58192. About 10 percent increase over last year's opener. Step in the right direction. Edit: BTW, ESPN finally caught up and has capacity at 67617, so today would be 86 percent of that, FWIW Edited September 11, 2022 by hail2skins 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had discounted the pandemic's effects last season, but its possible that it being more of a concern for people in 2021 impacted attendance. It'll be interesting to see if they can sustain this going forward. I bet we do have a good amount of Philly fans here in two weeks. The Titans game in early Oct will be interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it was a Green lot it was the worst because that back exit/entrance was closed. Now it is the best, with the tailgate double parking spots. And quick get in get out.
