The seats were paid for in the offseason, so it won't impact ticket revenue if we go. It also won't impact ticket revenue if we sell them. 

Empty seats do send a message though. No shows are announced in every game. Every empty seat is also lost revenue for food/drink/gear/parking/downtown restaurants/etc.

It's a small protest to be sure but not sure what would have had more impact. Selling the seats to someone else wouldn't make a difference. We considered selling them to Raiders's fans but my dad said that was crossing a line he wasn't prepared for.
