To be fair, plenty of fans also understand the process (one even told us he’d prefer to wait for Trevor Lawrence).

There are a lot of empty seats at the Ravens/Dolphins and Chiefs/Jaguars games. Interested to see what those attendance numbers are.

At Charlotte, North Carolina’s, Bank of America Stadium, as the Carolina Panthers geared up to lose a squeaker to the Los Angeles Rams 30-27, fans took to Twitter to remark on the empty seats:

Lot of fans dressed as empty seats at the Panthers game. Don’t blame them. I wouldn’t pay to sit in a broiler for three hours, either.
