"NFL Record Attendance"

Last updated 📅 2025-03-26

 2001—The NFL announced that, for the third straight year, it reached a record average paid attendance mark. It was the first time paid attendance went over 66,000 fans per game.

In similar news, the NFL announced the Washington Redskins set a league record for attendance in 8 games of 656,599, surpassing the Detroit Lions record of 634,204 set in 1980.

The NFL primarily measures attendance by counting the number of tickets distributed for a game. This includes both tickets sold and complimentary tickets given away. While this figure might not perfectly reflect the exact number of people physically present in the stadium due to no-shows, it serves as the official and consistent metric for reporting attendance. This method provides a standardized way to track fan interest and compare attendance figures across different teams and seasons.
