Giants' Stadium is Empty for Packers Game
Two of the NFL's most historic franchises square off this afternoon when the Green Bay Packers go toe-to-toe with the New York Giants. And it turns out the game might as well be played in a studio. If there was any question about how devoted Giants' fans are to their 2-9 team, there isn't anymore.

Giants fans are packed to the nose bleeds and totally jazzed for this #Packers game with 20 minutes before kickoff. Or not. pic.twitter.com/nyvcG155Hz

Sure, New York traffic can be horrendous, but it can' be that awful. Even if some fans show up late -- 50-50 if they do -- they can't save this turnout from being an embarrassment. Of course, the cold, rainy weather isn't helping, but come on.
This gets worse, too. According to reports, not only is there a plethora of empty seats, the seats that are actually being used are made up of Packers' fans. Oh, and they are booing both of the the home team's quarterbacks.
Daniel Jones, Eli Manning and the Giants centers just took the field to boos. The sparse crowd in attendance for warmups is full of green, yellow and cheeseheads.

Sports media is filled with those who spin stories. However, this one cannot be spun. This is bad. So bad, the 4-7 Jets are now the undisputed Kings of New York.
