Bear and Packer fans have been going to watch their team play for eight or nine decades (and they started before TV, so attendance probably got ingrained into the fan culture moreso than it did for the Vikings). Bear and Packer fan have famous outdoor stadiums to go watch their teams play in (the Metrodome is a good place for football, but it is not a draw in itself).<BR/><BR/>I don't know if the core group of hardcore Viking fans is smaller than the core group of hardcore Bear fans, or Packer fans, or whatever. What I think, though, is that the core group of fans that consider attending games a vital part of their fandom is smaller. <BR/><BR/>I've also argued that Viking fans have been abused to the point we expect disappointment, and now there aren't enough people to go pay $120 to be disappointed in person:<BR/>http://pacifistviking.blogspot.com/2008/12/disappointment-and-attendence.htmlPacifist Vikinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630996018868040440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-484402927196820872009-01-03T11:36:00.000-06:002009-01-03T11:36:00.000-06:00Why won't these tickets sell?

There's been a thorn in my side this week as I've been hearing people say "if the we (Packers, Bears, or Eagles) had a home playoff game, the tickets would be sold out in 30 minutes, etc... etc..."keep pouring that salt on the wound! Is there truth to that statement and why? Is the Vikes stadium or fans, and obviously the economy causing this lack of enthusiasm over buying tickets? I'm not from Minnesota, have never been to the stadium, if anyone can shed some light on this predicament please explain. Thanks and Skol Vikes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23140411.post-46214248600695628472009-01-03T10:51:00.000-06:002009-01-03T10:51:00.000-06:00Buy some ticketsBuy some ticketsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275991448005156811noreply@blogger.com
