As Week Two of the NFL’s 100th season kicks off, a quick look through social media finds many fans still wondering about all the empty seats as their favorite teams hit the gridiron.
The worst example appeared to be at L.A. Memorial Coliseum where the Rams were battling the visiting New Orleans Saints. Fans flooded social media with questions over the size of the crowd:

A ton of empty seats in the Coliseum halfway thru the first quarter. There’s a sizable Who Dat crowd here.

Also, as the Redskins at home at FedExField took on the visiting Dallas Cowboys – and lost to Dallas, 31-21 –some wondered where the fans went:
Wizards season opener in two months RT @CraigMowers1: @[me] just a handful of Dallas fans here @FedExField
The same question occurred to Dolphins fans as Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium seemed to have more than a few empties. Others probably wondered if the Dolphins even showed up with their crushing 43-0 loss to the New England Patriots:
Lots of empty seats in Miami 10 minutes before kickoff. The people that are here are mostly Patriots fans
Empty seats remain at Hard Rock Stadium a few minutes before kickoff.
Heinz Field was also said to be lacking fans as the Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed the Seattle Seahawks who beat the home team in a squeaker, 28-26:
The stands at the New York Giants’ MetLife Stadium were also sparsely populated as far as some fans thought. Fans were also not likely very happy that the Giants lost to the Buffalo Bills, 28-14, either:
#GiantsPride RT @thesniffpatrol: @[me] mass exodus at MetLife…this organization starting with the ownership all the way to the bottom is pathetic
At least one fan thought that the Bengals’ Paul Brown Stadium was not as full as it should be when the 49ers came to town to beat the home team 41-17:
Half empty seats in the sun and a sea of red jerseys, looks like @LevisStadium #49ers
Finally, fans worried that Nissan Stadium was lacking enthusiasm as the home team Titans took on, and lost to, the Indianapolis Colts, 19-17:
A lot of empty seats for the #INDvsTEN Titans game. Heat keeping people away? Surprising since it’s a home opener
