This isn’t new. This has been happening for years but I’ve never seen it as bad as it is today.

2 million people live in the Metro Nashville area but there are not 65,000 people who care enough about this team to show up on a Sunday afternoon.

To contrast here is the Predators fan base. Same market, vastly less popular sport in middle Tennessee.

How badly has this franchise destroyed their reputation in this market for a football team in the southeast to be unable to fill a 67,000 seat stadium when they are actually competitive?

You don’t see this around the league even with teams that have been awful for far longer than Tennessee.

Historically bad teams have a more faithful following than the Titans.
 
titans fans are fairweather. we are coming off a loss so the fairweather fans stay home.
 
This franchise has been a joke for the better part of the decade. One playoff season in the past 11. And it looks pretty clear that this franchise is going backwards again.
 
Been thinking about this for a bit - I've been a PSL holder for the past 20 seasons - Nashville was a very different city 20 years ago. We have become a Las Vegas type destination. And with that amazing increase in tourism comes a huge influx of out-of-market interest. I keep thinking about how the "home team" in Las Vegas would fare - Nashville and Las Vegas are major tourist destinations and are far more bound to host a much larger ratio of visiting team fans. Its not surprising to me at all - this is what Nashville has become.

Sure they will. But today, they paid the money to travel back home disappointed


Your comparison is bad. You're trying to compare a team on it's way to a championship to a team that most people dont want to waste 200 dollars on. The game day experience is trash unless the team wins big or has a game like this one.


You forget about the time the Predators almost left Nashville? Or what our crowds were like when we were a winning team?

Put this team on that level, or the level of a team like the Chiefs, and more people will go to the games.
 
I think you're focused on the wrong thing. As inconsistent as this team has been, you cant expect the fanbase to show up but most importantly we beat the Chiefs. That's what matters more than fairweather fans. We got the W

I’m almost positive that is from our Stanley cup games because I worked those. You gonna compare that to a regular season titan game?

You do see it around the league. KC players were complaining last week because Vikings fans took over their stadium. If people can make a buck selling their tickets to opposing fans, they will.

well yea because hockey is gay and football isn’t. The Stanley Cup finals is the equivalent of a NFL preseason game
 
All of the above posts are true however, don't let the TEAM off the hook, they from the beginning have sold UN sold tickets to ticket brokers, who then sell them to visiting fans. The TEAM made this decision at the beginning. As time has gone the brokers have purchased up PSL's, LIKE MINE when I gave it up, which means that as time goes more and more of the SOLD seats will be visiting fans.
 
A couple of friends are big Titans fans and posted about going to their first game. Posted pics.

One had a red Titans sweatshirt (or long sleeve tee) and the other had an alternate red Ladies Henry jersey.
 
The seats in the club section are red so its hard to distinguish between a human and a chair in that area but still it's embarrassing. This organization isn't going to care until all of the Middle Tennessee corporations stop buying tickets in mass and then doing nothing with them. How many of those seats go to private individuals and not organizations?
 
anyone with eyes can see the effort level of this team fluctuates from non existent to average, and the care level of management has been let's do what's easiest

why should anyone spend hundreds every weekend and spend hours of the little time off they have on something like that? people aren't obligated to show up, get the F over it

I came to say the same thing. The club level having so many empty seats made it look even worse. Of course the opposite is also true with all the blue empties on the top level.

Regardless, it was still bad. Very, very, very bad. One of the biggest stadium takeovers I can recall seeing in awhile. Oh well. My stance is still it's on the organization to make Nashville want to show up. The days of folks forking over their hard earned money simply because they're excited to have a team are long gone.
