The Dallas Cowboys had the highest total home attendance during the NFL regular season in 2020 – around 197 thousand spectators attended their eight regular season home games.

Coronavirus throws 2020 season into chaos

Total attendance at NFL regular season games during 2020 plummeted to 2.37 million as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. All preseason games were cancelled, along with the annual Pro Bowl, and games were played either in front of a greatly reduced crowd or in front of no fans at all. Although several games had to be postponed as a result of the crisis, all 256 regular season games were completed according to the original schedule.

The stars of the Lone Star State

The Cowboys are referred to as America’s Team – a nickname that originated in 1978. However, the franchise is a global success story and was ranked the most valuable sports team in 2020, with an estimated value of 5.5 billion U.S. dollars. Since 2001, the annual revenue of the Dallas Cowboys has only failed to increase just once – figures that helped to fund the 1.3 billion U.S. dollar construction costs of AT&T Stadium.
