To me, I would rather watch the majority of games from home vs attending a game in person.. sure the atmosphere is unmatched, but as far as the football action itself.. there is no comparison to watching the game on the television.. not to mention a heck of a lot cheaper.

So is it really that strong of an argument that because a stadium, btw which the Metrodome is about the worse overall game experience, doesn't sell out on day one that the fans are less passionate about their team?

Lambeau is a special facility.. parking is a ton easier and there is a strong tradition surrounding it.. not all franchises have the luxuries that Lambeau and Green Bay provide those attending the game.

I think there are many more factors than the passion level of the fan base when looking at attendance.. IMO anyway.

This would be the other half of that culture I was talking about. Green Bay / Wisconsin seem to be one of the few areas that pride itself on having a good tailgating experience. For some reason alot of franchises and areas believe theirs too much of a drinking stigma connected to tailgating and they don't revolve their facilities around that experience. Which is too bad, because I think thats one of the tangibles of having a great gameday experience, thus leading up to a great football culture. Unfortunately, Minnesota is one of those areas / franchises that shy away from that (the Metrodome had no parking plans whatsoever when built, and the Gophers new digs doesn't have many lots around it either.. and the lots that ARE around it are almost regulated, meaning no tailgating..) Thank God for Zigy Wilf, he's bought many many lots in downtown Minneapolis and turned them into tailgate parking lots / areas. Which is great. I hope that when they get their much deserved new stadium that Zigy pulls out all the stops and continues to build on his tailgating lot idea.

Plus they are the team that built the NFL.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Well, it hardly seems relevant now after three pages of off-topic, but I liked this video much better:
