Where does 2012 attendance rank in Heinz Field history (hint: not good)
The attendance for Sunday's Steelers/Browns http://triblive.com/sports/steelers/3201475-74/steelers-game-players#axzz2GYHQ50RS game was 51,831 -- the lowest in 12-year history of Heinz Field. You have to go all the way back to Week 3 of the final season at Three Rivers Stadium to find a lower attendance at a Steelers game (road or home) when only 51,769 showed up for a 23-20 loss to Tennessee.
In fact, 2012 was the 2nd lowest season attendance in Heinz Field history. Here are the average Heinz Field attendance since opening in 2001:
12: 61,141
11: 63,304
10: 63,083
09: 63,485
08: 62,890
07: 62,084
06: 62,432
05: 63,429
04: 63,423
03: 59,698
02: 61,284
01: 62,398
