The people going to the stadium tail gating and watching the games are one entity. But the new younger generation, a lot of them would rather not be at the game because at 12:55 they're trying to figure out who they should start as their 2nd running back and 3rd wide receiver.
The NFL must be making something off of that since they advertise playing fantasy football at nfl.com so much. I'm not sure what kind of numbers it generates but pretty much everyone and their dog is playing fantasy football now. It has definitely helped generate more fan and new fan interest for the league.
