Yeah, whether people like it or not fantasy football is huge, and it is an obsticle for owners wanting to sell tickets. People sitting at home with a case of beer that cost less than one in the stadium with a couple HD TV's, a lap top and Ipad to follow the action on Sunday, aren't feeling the urge to spend the extra money to go to a game.

Really one game a year is awesome just to be in the atmosphere...but the other 16 weeks of the season, I can see why people stay home. For the cost of season tickets, parking, and some concession items...you can buy those T.V's, Sunday ticket, an Ipad, and still have money left over.

Tonights game looks to be a good matchup, but from what I rember of these Thursday season openers....expect the defences to have their way tonight. I think Peyton Manning shredding the Saints on a Thursday to open the 2008 season is about the only big offensive performance I can remember in the past 5 years.
