On the telecast it appeared that there was about a 90% absentee rate in the red seats. If you were there and braved the elements, good for you. The rest of you give Gillette it's wine and cheese reputation and should be ashamed.

No surprise there.

It means that its frigging hypocritical of you to be complaining about the Red Seats being "empty" when you are sitting on your arse at home.

Also, since you missed it, the STADIUM, in general, wasn't full. And since you didn't actually LISTEN to the game, you missed Sims and Nantz talking about how long it took everyone to get to the Stadium because of the weather. MANY people chose to stay home and not risk it.

But, go ahead and be a hypocrit and complain about the Red Seats. Shows just the type of intelligence you bring to the table.

I'm sitting on my arse at home because I'm supporting a family on a single income and I'm not a STH.

For those at the stadium - what would you guess the attendance was in the rest of the stadium compared to the red seats? From the telecast it appeared that red seats were about 10% occupied while the rest of the stadium was about 75%.

Well the red seats are club level and not open to general sale. They're mainly used for corporate purposes. In other words, they aren't 100% "real fans."

My sentiments entirely. I don't live in the US but have lived in parts of England (and in Austria during the winter) where it snows frequently during winter. I know for a fact that I would not have risked my neck trying to get to that game.

As everyone else said, where was the OP for this game? Is he posting from his mobile phone outside Gilette?

Edit: he answered that bit.

So, your financial situation gives you the right to b!tch and complain about other people wanting to be safe?

You're gauging of %'s is lousy at best. I was watching the same game and there were as many people in the red seats as there were in the upper decks. Unless you looked at half-time where they went inside.

Also, considering how many FEWER seats there are in the "Red Seats" in comparison to the other parts of the stadium, you could be 15% of the people and it would look that much worse.

Again, complaining about the attendance when you are sitting on your arse at home is hypocritical. The crowd was LOUD today. You regularly heard them on the broadcast, unless you had it muted.

Instead of being a whiny brat, how about you just ENJOY the moment? Or are you one of those ignorant people who has to find SOMETHING to complain about so you feel like you've accomplished something in your life?
