Years back, we went to the Chiefs-Jets game at the Meadowlands. We took a train from Manhattan to a bus station, in which the bus dropped us off in the parking lot. Grabbed the bus on the way back to Manhattan and it was a super easy and fun experience. Quote:
I think that this is a local KC issue and not one experienced by every team in the league. Quote:
Stadiums generate very little revenue compared to that of TV and Streaming Deals and it's up to each individual team to market their product to the locals. If the Chiefs begin to see a significant drop in attendance while their product on the field remains strong, it's up to Mark Donovan and associates to make changes to the pricing structure that's more appealing to the fans. |

They are stupid. Every controversial call goes their way. Tuck rule, that BS jets "fumble" this year, the Steelers "incomplete pass" last week. The league goes out of is way to coddle and protect the pats. The four game suspension for Brady was just a PR stunt. Coincidence they played four garbage teams during his suspension.

In 10 years the owners will have replaced players with autonomous players and the salary cap will be a another issue. It will be limiting R+D $ in the future.
Gamers and software engineers will run the league and computers will draw up stupid trick plays and endzone dances making Andy an antique. Finally Junior will be able to move out of his parents basement and millionaire thugs won't be beating the shit out of their wives and GFs. Colleges will go broke without their football revenue, and CTE will be a thing of the past. Yeah the NFL stands a chance at survival but I see teams wildcating for revenues instead of sticking with the program as we know it. Madden (EA Tiburon/ EA Sports) is going to make a ****ing killing as they had it figured out for years and has just been waiting for technology to catch up. They are so slick they have colleges doing the research for them

I can't wait for this day to arrive. Vegas and the Indian communities out here will fight this to the end(at least in AZ). So stupid we have to go to a neighboring state to lay legit live action.

Everybody hates him, I'm not sure that means Pats fan aren't happy with the league itself.

$400-500 per person? What? I guess I don't know who the average fan is anymore. I know I can't really afford to drop that kind of money for a product I can see better on the TV. I'll clarify, $4-500 for 2 people. I don't go to events like a ballgame by myself routinely. Mama would be pizzed if I left her at home.

As I've said before, the owners need a shakeup. The revenue sharing deal while it may protect small markets, it also protects shitty owners like Irsay and mike brown. Too many dinosaurs in the league. Every owner runs their team like a business, not like an entertainment option. Ideally, you'd have a few owners who try some crazy shit, another owner sees it works and copies it. Sadly, the biggest recent tech changes in the NFL were borrowed from the xfl, not from their own people.

Cheifs fans would love buffalo's setup. An exit off highway not city driving to get to the stadium. Easy in easy out for tailgatters. On a bus you will wait in traffic a while but in your own vehicle isnt bad at all.

I am surprised they haven't banned tailgating as we know it. What,you don't think Carl(the ass) Peterson didn't consider it? I know for a fact he walked through the lots and saw money begging to be separated from fans.
It's probably a "scared to do" thing but can teams control their total parking areas to that extent? Will we see beer and food trucks parked in the lots and be forced to purchase all alcohol from them or risk being ejected and loose your seat?

And a Christmas eve game is always hard to sell out, but I got tickets for under $50, there in a great viewing location, and there were some that were $13. I can do that a couple of times a year. And it's ONE HELL OF A LOT LESS EXPENSIVE that what I was spending for tickets from 2001-2007 when I was a STH. With my hockey team's schedule the per-game route is shit-tons better.

I honestly think it's more to do with contracts with foodservice vendors than anything. Who wants their people, trucks, grills out in the elements when they have a captive audience inside. With the tents they have somewhat done the same thing on a smaller scale...
