Football is not a sport well suited to live entertainment when compared to it's TV counterpart.
The product and experience of watching the game on TV in the comfort of your own home is far superior. You have your own food, beer, and air conditioning, as well as the ability to hear immediate analysis from network analysts and see instant replays in HD. The view you get on TV is typically better than in the stadium. You have the freedom to do anything you want during commercial breaks.
In contrast, in the stadium you pay for grossly overpriced food, they don't sell beer, the weather can be miserably hot, miserably cold, rainy, etc. Instant replays are limited to one mediocre angle on the jumbotron. TV timeouts are excruciatingly boring. The amount of dead time between plays, timeouts, and quarters is exponential.
The Wall Street Journal states that there are only 11 minutes of real action during a roughly 3 hour football event LINK. The question if you want people to attend the games live, is how are you entertaining the crowd for the other 2 hours and 49 minutes?
