Watching a little of the halfpipe qualifying, the grandstand looked like it was about 1/3 full, looked like it wouldn't even match the attendance at a good high school football game.
Lame Olympic attendance

It's because Pyongchang is basically a resort town in the middle of nowhere. It is 24 miles to the closest airport, and only a couple hundred miles from the demilitarized zone that separates North Korea and South Korea.
It's been very gusty and cold as well.

But those stupid Koreans don’t know how to support their country. Huge and greatest turnouts in the US. Sad.
US would have set records. Highest ratings ever. Bad Korea.
I don't care enough to try and defend the folks avoiding the Skiing venues, but Alex Stone from ABC News was reporting temps were -12 on the Mountain yesterday. You couldn't pay me to sit there through those temperatures.
Its Korea. They support their country immensely. But they are too busy working and going to school 20 hours a day.
I’d wager the average North Korean (especially those living outside of Pyongchang) don’t have a clue what the Olympics are. Unless of course the regime has used it as propaganda to show their people just how “awesome” they are.
All North Koreans live outside Pyeongchang, because it’s in South Korea. Pyongyang is in North Korea.
We looked into going on this trip. Pretty much every room in the area was already booked by the Olympic committee. To get there you had to take a bullet train from Seoul every day- 70 minutes each way. Just was not worth the hassle. I'm sure the Olympic committee who chose this location was nicely rewarded though.
The Olympics have kind of lost its luster, I grew up during the time of it's the free world or USA vs the USSR
We need to beat the evil empire, that's gone. You add all the preforming inhancement drugs problems and some of the commentators moronic comments, plus the expense to attend a live event.

Don't sell Lincoln short as a venue. It's common knowledge that it's below zero with 8 feet of snow on the ground 7-8 months a year.
Nice try...... But you may want to spell check before you post about a town in the middle of nowhere! Everybody knows that P.F. Chang is hosting this year.... And yes, there should be more in attendance!
Well, the attendance goes along with the piss poor coverage yet again by NBC.
Can you get that to go?
