    wow, pgh's really 30th in the league on that list? wut? and you go back a couple years, when they were playing very very good football...they're still not better than the mid 20's. Anyway, it's good news....i certainly knew we had one of the better attendance records in the NFL. But I'm still wondering how much we're worth to the NFL. I know the team makes good gate obviously. I just wonder where we are brand wise. I hate to say it but I would think the Steelers are a much more valuable "brand" to the NFL than we are currently.

    The Steelers are 30th because they play in one of the 3 smallest stadiums in the NFL. They could have built more seats when they built PNC, but they didn't want to so that the demand for their tickets stayed high.

    ahh, they're listing at as raw numbers and not percentage of seats filled. Makes sense I guess.

    what they should have done was compare incomes. Thats all that really matters if u think about it.

    well in some ways that "could" skew the facts. I have no idea what shittspuke ticket prices are but if they're substantially higher than Cleveland than they could theoretically pull in as much gate as the Browns do with lesser attendance. I'm pretty sure merchandise wise the steelers do significantly better than the Browns. I don't where the Browns are ranked but Shittspuke is 9th in team merchanidse. That can't be all pgh people.

    Most NFL teams are privately held businesses not public....except for the Packers, and they will by NO means ever disclose their income/loss/profit figures.

    Stoolers were ranked 28th at 88.2% capacity, they also set record lows in individual games over the past 2 seasons... lowest ever in 2012 against the Browns and second lowest last year.

    Try 15 years of losing football Pittspuke.. Browns fans are the most loyal there is Steelers fans are Fraks.

    Dayton

    Yes, but Gip. A lot of those smaller markets overlap a bigger one. You have the Carolina Panthers, not the Charlotte Panthers, and the Tennessee Titans, not the Nashville Titans. Think of the NFL's 75 mile blackout rule. Dayton is considered part of Cinci's market, so the Browns are always preempted by those damn Bungles- though Columbus is not. Toledo and Ann Arbor are part of the Detroit market. Baltimore and Washington DC's markets overlap.

    Yes, Larry, I know that is all true. If you combined markets that are within that 75 mile radius you would get a different result.

    Example: Orlando would be combined with Tampa. As noted, Baltimore and Washington would be combined.

    West Palm Beach and Miami. Dayton and Cinci. Toledo and Detroit. Greensboro and Raleigh/Durham (but these would not be within the Charlotte 75 mile radius) Maybe Harrisburg and Philly (though actually, Harrisburg may actually be closer to Baltimore)

    Sacramento and the Bay Area possibly. Flint and Detroit.

    But, as noted, probably the largest two areas that can be combined that does not already have a team...besides LA... is the San Antonio/Austin area. Combine those two and you have a potential Top 15 marketplace. But Jerry Jones jealousy guards that as his personal territory despite already having the #5 largest market sewn up.
