Why so lame?

I'm not suggesting high gas prices.
I'm saying 60% of Nashville gas stations don't have gas at any price.
There is a serious gas crisis going on in Nashville this week.
There are major lines at the 40% that do have gas, so people are staying home. Couple that with the fact that that the Texas sent back the tickets they were alotted because thier fans didn't buy any due to the hurricaine and you have some empty seats. I was at the game today there were a few empty seats but not that many. Most were in the club level, they were there just inside the club house as it was VERY hot in the sun today.

I don't think there's any real lack of fan support.

 

This isn't a big deal. Gas prices is most of it. I'll be ticked though if we don't have a full house next week.

 

I dunno. I agree with you really at the moment.


I guess, from this perspective, Pacman and VY gave the game a lot of... excitement. That appeals more to casual fans. I don't think casual fans are hyped up for Kerry Collins.

Maybe I'm misjudging the fan base, cause I know Collins isn't disliked by many in the Nashville community.



But a few years ago, I can see people say, let's go try to get some titans tickets and watch Pacman and Vince do some crazy on the field. Maybe on a nice day like Sunday, some of those people choose a different outdoor activity- hiking, hunting, golfing, boating, whatever.


To think of it too, i know a few season ticket holders that were at the Ryder Cup. Although I can't imagine that a noticeable percentage of empty seats were because of the Ryder Cup.

 

lets not forget that gas is damn near impossible to find. That was a huge factor. Even gas can stop a Titan. Hey, look at it this way, atleast we're not Jacksonville who's fans never show up even for a great game against a division rival.

 

Our first big challenge of the season? The most dynamic running back in the NFL? Oh, WE'LL BE THERE. Come hell or high water. Like the Green Bay/Dallas game...this will show if we really can hang with the big dogs. Say what you will about the Vikings' record all you want, but they are a SOLID team. This isn't just a game, its a statement.

 

Vikings are about as solid as the Cleveland Browns.

 

As of week 3:

The Vikings are 5th in rushing in the NFL. The Browns are 30th.
The Vikings are 17th in total offense. The Browns are 32nd.
The Vikings are 8th in total defense. The Browns are 23rd.

I'd say the Vikings have the SLIGHT edge on the Browns. Don't count them out.

 

And the only thing that matters:

Record

Vikings: 1 - 2
Browns: 0 - 3

 

Yeah, they've won more games than the Browns, but I don't think you can just blow off a team like the Vikings...we will have our hands full
