It’s Shocking How Empty The Stadium Was For Thursday Night Football

The San Francisco 49ers Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Rams kicked off in front of a nearly empty stadium.

Los Angeles Times reporter Lindsey Thiry tweeted a photo at the time of kickoff, which showed thousands of open seats. In fact, most sections in the photo have more empty seats than fans.

It’s Shocking How Empty The Stadium Was For Thursday Night Football
The Daily Caller, Sep 22, 2017, David Hookstead

The San Francisco 49ers Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Rams kicked off in front of a nearly empty stadium.

Los Angeles Times reporter Lindsey Thiry tweeted a photo at the time of kickoff, which showed thousands of open seats. In fact, most sections in the photo have more empty seats than fans.

ESPN’s Darren Rovell reported that 63,500 tickets had been sold for the game, but of course, simply selling a ticket doesn’t mean the buyer will actually show up to the game.

It’s hard to believe there are more than 30,000 people in the stadium, judging from the photos.

I heard tickets were going for $15, the cost of two stadium pretzels. Fans are making it clear, NFL: you are off the beam.

May have been half empty, but heard they sold most of the tickets. Once it starts hitting the owners pocketbooks, maybe, just maybe they will start caring. Stop paying, besides not watching.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Of course anyone is welcome to do whatever they want, but I am definitely off the NFL, at least for now.


Football has become more about Politics and Race, much more than it is fun and entertaining. Who needs it? It's been a dying sport anyway for a couple of years. These latest temper tantrums on-field will just speed it up.


ESPN has turned into ESP-CNN. And the on-field behavior is more upsetting than it is comfortable. Let them have it. They can 'protest' all they want. I won't be watching.
