2009 NFL Attendance Figures Are Strong

The nation may be in the throes of an economic downturn, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at the most recent NFL attendance figures.

Not having reached the halfway point yet of the 2009 NFL season, 28 of the 32 teams have drawn at least 91% of their stadium capacity.

Fourteen teams have drawn at least 99% of total capacity and eight teams have enjoyed 100% or greater of total stadium capacity.

As you might suspect, Dallas’ new home – Cowboys Stadium – has had a huge impact on attendance. The drawing power of the new venue has helped the Cowboys lead all NFL franchises in home game attendance, bringing in an average of 92,410 fans.

The Washington Redskins, last season’s leader in average home game attendance, have seen a decrease in attendance thus far in 2009.

The team’s poor play to this point in the season may have had an impact on attendance more than economic factors, but Washington is drawing an average of 84,588 fans per game, down 4,016 fans per game from last season.

The two New York teams – the Giants and Jets – have each played three home games this season. Yet, the NFC’s Giants have drawn better than the AFC’s Jets, averaging nearly 2,000 more fans for their games.

Rounding out the top five in home game attendance, the Denver Broncos are averaging 75,460 fans for their three home games.
