there was that one time..but it was before TVs

Best Answer

Sellout streaks through the end of the 2008 regular season:
1. Washington Redskins ... 327.
2. Pittsburgh Steelers ... 307.
3. Denver Broncos ... 301.
4. San Francisco 49ers ... 267

So subtract 267 regular season games starting from 2008, there's your answer

By the way you don't have to sell out. You only need to sell a certain percentage. So it could be longer then that.
