The New York Jets and Washington Redskins game had depressingly empty stands just prior to kickoff. Take a look at how cheap tickets were, then look at how few people showed.
Should I head over to FedEx Field to see the team I rooted for growing up? I may not be in the most lucrative profession but I think I can afford a $6 ticket. #Redskins #Jets pic.twitter.com/aCfuoyL4ew

It’s cool to think how affordable and accessible this may make NFL football to some young fans in the area, but it’s uncool to see NFL stands 75% empty.
