Every team in the NFL plays eight home games and eight road games, yet the disparity between attendance can often be quite large. The more popular teams in the league recorded total attendance figures of over 600,000 through eight home games, while the bottom two teams (the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers) had less than 460,000 people attend their home games. Below are the three teams with the best home attendance figures in 2016.

1. Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys had 740,318 people attend their eight home games in 2016, including a season-high 93,103 for a week eight contest against the Philadelphia Eagles.

2. Los Angeles Rams: Los Angeles had been without a NFL team since 1995 prior to the Rams moving back to the city for the start of the 2016 season. Fans were thrilled to see the team back, as evidenced by the recorded home attendance figure of 665,318.

3. New York Giants: The New York Giants had a combined attendance of 630,315 through its eight home games in 2016. Additionally, the team had the second-highest attendance figure away from home, behind only the Detroit Lions.
