Make Levi Stadim a ghost town

How you one go about "booking out an entire section" when the rights are owned by hundreds of different people?

ahhh, your ticketting is way different to ours then, we have stadium member areas like that but also often have set aside supporter group areas where entire sections can be filled by the same supporter group every home game. Then what is left are open to the general public

When I look at the stands in Cleveland or in Detroit, all I can think is that as usual, Niner fans are a disgrace. If the Niners aren't winning, half the crowd leaves. This is the definition of bandwagon fans and the Niners have a load of them. Browns fans are still there. Lions fans are still there. Niner fans? Niner fans are crap.

No, Browns fans and Lions fans are fools. They lap up the crap their owners feed them and, guess what? Every year they get more. Niners fans (some of them, at least) hold their team to a higher standard. Suffering abuse at the hands of management is not a virtue. Loyalty is not about settling for less. The Yorks have broken faith with us; not the other way around.

Just put on pie plate masks saying Jed sucks, and do the wave during the game. A lot.

Never saw these pix of the stands during the Bengals game until today.

When was the last time the crowd at a 49er game was so sparse? The 70s maybe.

Jed Yprk gonna fly in 40k Aussies to make the stadium look full with the promise that they get to meet Hayne and Valrod after the game.

I find this situation fascinating. York goes cheap on coaching to save on dollars. The coaching he hires is so terrible nobody shows up to the games. Less merchandise and concessions are purchased. Parking lots vacant. York still makes money, but not as much if the 49ers were competitive or in a playoff hunt with a packed stadium.

So that leaves us to speculate. If York had kept Harbaugh and Co, or hired Gase and Fangio, would attendance be better?

Looks like you could easily seat another 30k people in those Bengals/49ers pics. That's a s**t ton of revenue leaking from pockets.

What is your guess on how much revenue is lost per game by an empty stadium?

Lets say 30K didn't attend that day.Just the money lost on parking alone has to be huge. So lets say half took public transit. Then 3 to a car, so 5,000 cars at what, average $30? Someone is out $150K per game. Figure the cost of a hot dog and two beers for every seat, ( I know some more some less, some soda only but just to throw out a number). Hot dogs cost has been lower to what 6.25? Beer $10. So $26 x 30K is another $780K revenue loss for the stadium. and say every 1 out of 4 fans would have bought a $20 souvenir....$140K., So stadium sales and parking are down a cool $1M that day.? What do you think the team gets out of that? The city loses out on a a nice chunk of change on the lost sales tax revenue right? the vendors take a huge hit. Not much out of Yorks pocket though, considering.
