Commissioner Paul Tagliabue opened the 2006 NFL Annual Meeting in Orlando, Fla., with a 30-minute review of overall league affairs for a group of approximately 300 owners, club presidents, head coaches, front-office employees and league officials. This will be his last annual meeting. One of the main points of business at the meeting will be to choose a new NFL commissioner.
In his opening address he added "In 2005, you set a paid attendance record for the third year in a row; your stadiums were filled again to 90 percent of capacity; and television ratings continued to deliver unmatched audiences. The Super Bowl was the second most-watched program in television history with 141 million viewers. For the season, ratings for NFL games on broadcast television were 60 percent higher than the primetime average for the broadcast networks. In December, the Harris Poll showed pro football's lead as the No. 1 sport continuing to widen."
