Absolutely. An empty seat doesn't buy food or beer. And an empty seat doesn't become a regular, or bring their friends next time, or buy merch.

IMO, the ideal price is one where you are selling your last ticket right before kickoff. If you're not getting there (or even getting to 50% of capacity), then lower prices. If you're selling out every game, raise them a bit (or expand, or both).

It seems they're committed to this model as it has only seen very small tweaks over the years, with predictably similar attendance.
