Granted, I don't know sell out figures for NFL stadiums and I know they vary greatly.
Here are the attendance figures from last year. Note that of the bottom 5, one team was in the first year of a temporary stadium, 2 were in no mans land as teams that are/were moving, and one of the others is that factory of sadness known as the Browns.

27 of the 32 teams are over 90%...pretty damn strong numbers in the day and age of HDTV/Home theater IMO.
