And that is the truth of it.

It's more corporate. Going to a few games a year is awesome...going to every game and being locked in, is a waste of money.

And I waste plenty of money.

It's not about HD. It's about the price. I am not a big Nascar fan, but they are certainly not making the money at the gate they used to, same with many sports...

Get players salaries in line with everything, and get your diehard fans back in full force.

Yet, I am flying from Denver to watch the Cowboys play the Browns this weekend. Some things HD cant recreate.

A lot of it is because they want to keep the hillbilly crowd out of there so they don't have to deal with as many fights and stuff.

It's gotten so bad though that just a regular hard working person can't even hardly get a ticket.

Exactly.

I would like to believe that Goodell is not this clueless and is just trying to not mention this for PR reasons. But he keeps saying stuff like this, so I start to think that he is completely out of touch with the typical NFL fan.

Forget about HD. I can go to the local sports bar, have a few drinks and food and a good time while spending a lot less.

The last time I went to a Dallas Game was at Texas Stadium went several times by the time I payed for Gas (cheaper back then) tickets, lodging stadium parking etc it was well over $500 for just me.

I do not live in the Dallas area so yes quite expensive trip to go to a Football game.

Now the season Ticket holders get jobbed they have to buy a PSL, then they get charged full price for two Pre-season games. Then they have to buy the ticket each game and pay for parking. That is a lot of . Plus any food etc they buy in the stadium.

It be out of my current budget
