I heard there were about 14K empty seats.

Beside it being Christmas Eve, beside the fact that several Buffalo fans have been using their hard earned money on Sabres tickets, the Bills were playing their 4th home game in a row. That's a lot to ask of fans from a small market team.

I couldn't find a weekly attendence report but ESPN keeps one for the year. Bills are ranked 19th. When I have time, I think I have a quick way of putting them together. Stay tuned.

Well those were nationally televised games. People always show for those games.

This is the first year since 2002 that we ranked outside of the top 10 in attendance for the season

Only 54K? I could've sworn there were more people than that.
