How about this ...

Sounds like on the average we only draw about 24,000 per game? Well, since we'll loose the rest of our games anyways for all kinds of reasons, what if Bidwill was smart enough to say:

"Hey, I know I'll only get money for 24,000 seats filled per game the rest of the year. If you (the fans) come out and fill the stadium X seats over 24,000, I'll take that eXtra income (that I normally wouldn't get) and put it directly into the team."

I guess it probably still wouldn't help as were already 10-14 mill under cap. But hey, it would be a nice gesture and a good PR move. He'd have to SIGN a contract with the fans otherwise we'd get raped. Just a thought.

Small world.

Average for their entire time in AZ, at my last calculation, was just under 48,000 per game. There have been some low ones but they've been balanced out by sellouts and the occassional large crowd.

Actually 144th and Center. Fumble.

I'm sure you meant 144th and Center. I'm at 163rd and Rollingridge (just north of Q). Yep, small world.

If Bidwill did something like that...
Well, I don't know what would happen, but I can see it backfiring horribly and scattering debris for miles and miles.

Omaha, right? I liked it a lot the two times I visited (many years ago) - but that was during Fall and Spring, and I understand the weather can get equally nasty during hot, humid summers and ridiculously frigid winters.

The famous Omaha restaurant at the time was Ross's Steak House.

But there was a lesser-known place that offered a much better steak and I can't remember the name.

Help me out here.
