Each NFL team has only 8-9 regular season home games per year so their product is at a premium. The other leagues have between 2 and 10 times as many. I wonder if the attendance would be as high if there were more games.

probably would be lower but so would the quality. players already experience lifelong head injuries from the limited play already. imagine 4 to 5 games a week.

I think overall most teams would stay the same if there were more games, with the exception of the handful of teams that struggle to always sell out every seat. NFL tickets are generally in high demand

I find it so bizarre that NFL has 8-9 home games and MLB has 81. That makes no sense to me. I mean I know why it is based on the history... but still it sounds bizarre. I have always thought MLB plays too many games.

I don’t think so. That’s what makes football so good. Every game means something. I didn’t like it when they added a 17th regular season game, just as I didn’t like it when they added a playoff team. The scarcity is what makes it good.
