Fans have remarked on the sparse crowds at several games since last Thursday night.
For instance, Levis Stadium in San Francisco did not appear to have many fans in the seats.
Another Twitter user claimed that two thirds of the seats were empty this weekend.
Others were just as shocked at how empty the stadium was.
