Jets attendance is up 4% since the February 2024, but it doesn't matter how good the team is. Barring a miracle like a really deep playoff run or cup win, they won't fill the arena to 100% at their current ticket prices. Jets fans have proven this over the past two seasons.

Comparing their seat prices to our third-deck, nosebleeds, isn't fair or accurate.
Compare their ticket prices to the best 15,000 seats in the Dome (which are all sold).
In fact, most of the empty seats at the Dome are actually the nosebleeds.
And the new arena will be completely sold out, even with considerably higher ticket prices. So I really don't see your point - the fact is that the Jets' attendance is the lowest in the league.
