Except he said last year he wasn't having fun and he seriously considered selling the team.

I didn't see any of them on the scoreboard.

I found out from the Ravens app and most people around me found out the same way. I think a lot of people that are at the game are using the app

The crowds have been getting small, quieter, and leaving earlier going back to 2013.

the empty seats in the upper corners are the tickets that the visiting team turns in late in the week and the Ravens dont do a very good job of letting people know they have been turned in so they remain empty

Exaggerated!

I have been watching the sunny side of the stadium unloading of fans in the 4th quarter since 1998. Yesterday wasn't much different. During Sunny Fall days, many don't leave the stadium - just go to the concourse to get the Sun out of their eyes. Many others have "get-home-itis", leaving every game to try to beat the traffic.

Also, opponents roadies aren't buying up their teams' tickets. This has always been the case with Ohio fans (whose teams may not be providing them the opportunity to buy the unused players' tickets).

To provide a fair & balanced picture of the crowd, our friend "Camden Yard" should have posted a crowd photo of late 1st to early 2nd quarter.

Buh Buh buh but I thought they were the greatest and most devoted and loyal fans in sports history?!?*

*As the national media liked to remind everyone when the Ravens were born.....

Don't want to troll but need to point something out with this. The capacity they are using for Browns stadium is the old capacity of 73k, after they renovation with the scoreboards the capacity is down to 68k. Using these numbers results in over 99%

I shudder to think what we will see when we have all of theose home games in December.

What?? I thought attendance was always 71,045 or 71,046. That's what they always tell me. Now I learn it's not. Shocking...

I only knew when Webb was out because he was stood in the sideline for ages. Figured he was benched or something. Also noticed smith getting alot of snaps alongside Upshaw and didn't know where doom was.

That was poor. Need to be notified of those

Agree. That was my point. This is pretty important stuff that the TV viewers will know almost immediately. If a stadium user without a phone or a radio needs to look at the scoreboard during the 5 seconds that the notification is up in 8 point font or miss it, they need to do better. Yeah, if on each series you look at every position presnap you might figure it out but I don't do that and I don't think many really do.

Some advice would be helpful but with prices that low my 5 year old had been bugging me to get to a football game. With the Ravens out of it think it would be good timing to take him to his first game or will I still deal with to many drunks?
