    If the nfl dropped prices they would sellout every game. They do not have to drop them much. Just maybe 10-15%. But when you want 2 see a game and take your kid and wife a 60+ per ticket cost plus food and travel gets prohibitive for most people. God forbid you want good seats and then it doubles the cost of the trip.

    Haha well it was an hour including the wait for an Uber. But I wish it was just football games. Traffic down here is a mess. Easily the worst traffic I’ve had to drive in.

    But back to the point. Fans can leave whenever they want. Some people are going to care more about traffic than watching the whole football game. That’s fine, but those fans shouldn’t be upset when people make comments like Vrabel’s.

    Sorry, bro. I don't get your logic.

    In order to leave a game early, you gotta be there. Obviously, won/loss record has no bearing on the fans in attendance who have gotten their fill and just want a head start home.

    Not winning is why the people at home didn't buy a ticket.

    The logic is commitment TJ. It’s not about just buying a ticket. Clearly there aren’t enough fans committed to going to a Titans game every week. We can’t even get fans to commit to a full game WHEN WE ARE WINNING. That’s the logic.

    I ran into KC fans after that game and they said Titans fans were leaving early for that game too. I can’t verify that but it wouldn’t shock me from what I’ve seen.

    Look this isn’t an indictment on all Titans fans. There are plenty of people this doesn’t apply to. But people wanna complain about win loss record and fan environment but they’d rather leave early to avoid traffic? Ridiculous.

    Every NFL stadium is going to have a lot of traffic when you leave. Plenty of fans don’t leave early. I’ve seen it! That’s simply an excuse. Plenty of franchises have had it much worse than TN and don’t have this problem. Not buying it one bit.

    The average fan would rather go to a few games a year and cut out early to beat traffic. That’s fine, but that fan should not be complaining about the fan environment or win loss record. Titans have actually played well at home in recent years and maybe the fan environment would improve if everyone didn’t leave half way through the game.

    Most of the people on here this doesn’t apply to but when I go to other stadiums I don’t see this same stuff happening. The Titans clearly made some mistakes in how they handled things but the fans can’t just push all the blame on the team. There’s a commitment level from the fans that has to be there as well.

    Bills fans show up every single Sunday regardless of opponent. You think they’ve had much to cheer about the last 10-15 years? Nope. But their commitment level is clearly different than SOME of the people in Nashville.

    Every time I attend a game at Nissan Stadium I'm disappointed to see so many opposing fans in the stadium. It's noticeabley worse (much worse) than other stadiums I've been to. I can't blame coach for being disappointing by it too. Interesting he chose to say it though.

    Not ssying your wring but Vrabel was 4 and 4 at home. When he rolls off 13 in a row he will have a right to complain

    A little off on your timeline my dude.
    96 was the last year in Houston.

    97-98 were the “lost oilers” years roaming while waiting for a Nashville stadium (also Jeff Fisher specials of 8-8)

    99’ titans named and in their new Rockin Nashville Coliseum.
