Interesting.. I knew the number of season tickets they offer are extraordinarily low, but not that they haven't even sold 'em for that long.
In other football news - This article makes an argument for essentially never punting.. the gist of it is - the average NFL play gains 5 yards, the average fourth down conversion is made 3/4 of the time, and the average drive with a successful 4th down conversion ends in a touchdown 1/3 of the time. Put it all together - and coaches should always go for it.
I don't fully buy it - that 1/3 number seems flawed.. if everyone started going for it on their own 35, I really doubt that number would stay that high.. regardless, it's an interesting, contrarian type article.
