NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL’s season ticket sales have declined for the third year in a row as teams struggle to get fans to the stadium in a weak economy.
Depending on final numbers, season ticket sales will be down between 1 percent and 2 percent, according to Eric Grubman, the league’s executive vice president for business ventures.
Still, he says the drop could have been worse given the financial climate in the United States.
Grubman said overall attendance declined from 17 million in 2008 to 16.6 million last year.
