Well there’s misguided statements and then there is an absence of logic. Elizabeth McDonald of Fox Business decided to go with the absence of logic route.

Sometimes in life, people say things that aren’t really thought out or use factual evidence to support their erroneous claims.
McDonald is the latest to not clearly think through her thoughts, as she discusses how Super Bowl attendance has dipped since 2011 when the Super Bowl between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers played in the 100,000 seat-plus AT&T stadium in Dallas, TX.
Well, technically, she isn’t wrong about the attendance being less than that of what it was in Dallas. There’s just one little thing missing…
Dallas is the only one with a 100,000 seat stadium!
The Fox reporter clearly didn’t think before she spoke, and had she did, she would realize that stadiums can only hold so many people. Not everyone can seat 100,000.
This year’s Super Bowl at the University of Phoenix Stadium will expand to over 70,000-plus seats. With potential draws like New England, Seattle, Green Bay, or Indianapolis coming to town, there will be a high premium on ticket costs.
They even go as far as to blame this supposed lack of attendance on the advancement of technology and nice televisions. Not to mention, they also blame absurdly below-value listed ticket prices as a reason for the attendance.
This is another classic case of non-sports reporters talking about an area they aren’t too familiar with. Maybe next time they should study up on the capacities of every NFL stadium before airing an erroneous report.
