It's about time. It's archaic, and has zero effect on whether someone buys a ticket to a game.

As the article states, 35+ years ago close to 60% of the games were not sold out and most of their revenue came from ticket sales.
I think this would be a good move, although it really hasnt affected me at all.
Tickets prices are outrageous

I found it interesting a year or two ago the NFL gave clubs options of still keeping a blackout if it was not sold out, or if it was 85%.
