When I watch other games, I see packed stadiums (for the most part) and I understand there a million other things to do in Miami. Honestly, is it because the demographic has changed so much that there are not many "American Football" fans in the area, or just a lack of interest in a losing team. I see other teams with filled houses and they haven't been to the playoffs in years.
Not a lot of disposable income along with terrible football with no hope in sight (or at least that's the feeling down here - I call it having the Ireland Greens instead of the Blues) just doesn't lend itself to people caring. If the Dolphins start winning, they'll sell out every game again. People miss being a winner, being proud of their team, and many folks feel like the franchise has thrown in the towel and just doesn't give a shit anymore. So, they're talking with their wallets, and now they're talking with apathy and humor. The Phins are a joke in Miami. They're the worst franchise in town right now, including the craptacular Marlins who at least have won something in the last 10 years.
