The weather was fine but even if there is a bad forecast people will stay away

The weather during the game was great for October, but those days (at least Tuesday, can't remember Wed. TBH) were clearly nasty. If someone is thinking last minute if they want to go and look outside and it's pouring it's going to dissuade a lot of people.

The weather is not an excuse. It’s beyond pathetic not to pack a stadium for a playoff game.

Yes, if someone was making a day or two before type of decision, then they may stay away for Tuesday, not Wednesday. However, any last minute decisions would have been a green light for both games, especially with respectable seats going for like $20.

But the initial demand for seats wasn't strong enough to get to sellouts either and weather wasn't a factor there I don't think.

Exactly. On Tuesday it rained right until game time. Wednesday feels like it was the same. I am surprised neither game has to be delayed.

There's some remarkable exaggeration of the weather here, especially for Wednesday. Saying the weather was crappy for the actual games is pure fiction.

The forecast point for Tuesday has some merit, but even that looked fine for gametime.

The initial demand was lacking when the tickets went on sale and there was virtually no demand in the hours leading up to the games even when it looked like the weather would work out well.

There was a probability of rain during Tuesdays game. It was muggy and wet all week. While it didn’t rain during the game it wasn’t exactly the kind of weather that motivates people to to see a game, even if it’s a playoff game. I remember tickets dropping in price drastically in 2014 when there was a threat of rain.

2 months later and still so many things that make me mad and sad.
