Some NFL teams pack the house no matter how bad the record. Others can’t even get their own fans to show up for a playoff push.
We’re ranking all 32 NFL teams based on how embarrassing their home attendance is—whether it’s empty seats, away-team takeovers, or general “are we sure this is a football game?” energy. Let’s go from the most loyal stadiums to the ones that might as well be playing in a food court.
32. Green Bay Packers
Lambeau Field could be underwater and still sell out. These people wait decades on the season ticket list just for the chance to freeze and watch a run up the middle.
31. Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs could sell out Arrowhead if they were fielding a high school team. It’s not just attendance—it’s volume, barbecue, and pure Midwestern chaos.
30. Dallas Cowboys
Jerry World is always packed, even if half the people are just there to Instagram the chandelier. Say what you will, but the Cowboys don’t have attendance problems—they have playoff ones.
29. Philadelphia Eagles
This city would show up to a scrimmage between practice squad players and still boo someone. Win, lose, or snowstorm—they’re packing the Linc.
28. Pittsburgh Steelers
Heinz Field stays filled with towels and trauma. It could be 14-0 in the first quarter and fans still aren’t leaving until the final whistle.
27. Buffalo Bills
Bills Mafia doesn’t care if it’s a blizzard, a losing streak, or a flaming table—those seats are getting filled. Western New York runs on heartbreak and tailgate grills.
26. Seattle Seahawks
They don’t call it the 12th Man for nothing. Even during rebuilds, the stadium noise is at playoff levels by default.
25. New Orleans Saints
The Superdome still brings the juice, even when the team doesn’t. It’s loud, proud, and occasionally powered by daiquiris.
24. Minnesota Vikings
Skol Nation shows up loud, loyal, and ready to get hurt again. That horn doesn’t blow itself.
23. Detroit Lions
Lions fans finally have something worth showing up for, and they’re making up for lost time. Ford Field is rocking these days, and it’s not just because of the indoor heating.
22. Cincinnati Bengals
Burrow helped, but even when things were bleak, Bengals fans still hung around in the cold. It’s not sellout city, but it’s not sad either.
21. New York Giants
They’re loyal to a fault—even when the offense goes three-and-out six drives in a row. But MetLife does have a tendency to sound like a library when things go south.
20. Cleveland Browns
The fans show up, they bark in the Dawg Pound, and then they go home emotionally drained. The loyalty’s there—the joy? Not so much.
19. Baltimore Ravens
Solid crowd energy, even if it sometimes feels a little too polite. They show up, but you can tell they miss the Ray Lewis days of actual terror.
18. Washington Commanders
Before this past season, things were bleak inside FedEx Stadium. But now that Jayden Daniels has turned things around? Look for the energy to be completely different in 2025.
17. San Francisco 49ers
They have a great team and a diehard fan base, but being located outside of San Francisco certainly prevents the fans from being able to attend games easily.
16. Chicago Bears
Soldier Field has the bones of a great stadium and the crowd to match—it’s just hard to cheer for a team allergic to offense. The passion is real, even when the product isn’t.
15. Miami Dolphins
Winning has helped, but the lower bowl can still look like a yacht party that forgot football was happening. When they show up, they’re loud—but that’s a big “when.”
14. Indianapolis Colts
Lucas Oil gets decent crowds, but it rarely feels rowdy. It’s like a very polite, indoor football seminar.
13. New England Patriots
Tom Brady left, and so did some of the electricity. Still a good turnout, just a little more “sit quietly and judge” than “let’s go full crazy.”
12. Denver Broncos
Mile High still fills up, mostly out of habit and altitude-induced delusion. Things have been more encouraging since Bo Nix came to town.
11. Tennessee Titans
Nashville loves football… until it’s 3rd and 9 and the QB throws it out of bounds. The crowds are solid, but the juice isn’t always there.
10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
They got the Brady bump, but things are slipping back to “wait, there’s a game today?” levels. The pirate ship fires, but the fans don’t always respond.
9. Carolina Panthers
The stadium looks fine from afar—until you realize most of the people wearing jerseys are rooting for the other team. Charlotte deserves better, but the energy is lacking.
8. Arizona Cardinals
There’s a stadium and there are fans, but they don’t always seem connected. Empty red seats in the third quarter are practically tradition.
7. New York Jets
MetLife turns into a haunted house real quick when things go wrong. When your own fans boo during pregame introductions, you know the vibes are bad.
6. Atlanta Falcons
Home games feel more like casual gatherings than emotional events. It’s loudest when the stadium DJ is trying to wake everyone up in the fourth quarter.
5. Houston Texans
They show up, but it feels more like a courtesy than true fandom. The energy hovers somewhere between mild interest and distracted grocery list planning.
4. Los Angeles Rams
They won a Super Bowl and still couldn’t get their stadium to feel like home. Every game feels like it was relocated to a neutral site.
3. Jacksonville Jaguars
Duval pride exists, but it’s often outweighed by sunburn and stadium apathy. The tarps may be gone, but the empty seats still linger.

2. Los Angeles Chargers
Home-field advantage? Never heard of it. Opposing fans circle Chargers games like vacation dates.

1. Las Vegas Raiders
Allegiant Stadium looks amazing on Instagram, but in person it feels more like a tourist trap than a home crowd. The only thing louder than the opposing fans is the slot machines nearby.
