Bump.
I admit it, I was shocked at how much money people are willing to pay to support their football addiction, and let's face it, we are addicts. Do we not go bonkers when the NFL takes our drug of choice away from us for six months at a time to whet our appetites for more? Do we not spend bunches of money in an effort to find a poor substitute in the off-season? For most of us there's a lump of lead feeling in the pit of our stomach that stays there until the first pre-season scrimmage or game and is only slowly relieved until real football starts in September.
Looking around the league, it doesn't seem to be unusual. I had thought JJones would have trouble lining up 50% more people to attend home games in the new stadium than in the old stadium and at higher prices, but now I think he won't have much trouble filling it up at all. I no longer care to be around or in crowds anymore and I seem to have become allergic to traffic jams and noise of all kinds so I don't plan on attending any games myself, I'll be content to watch it on TV from my easy chair.
Please understand, I'm not being critical here, only surprised. I had no idea the market for memorabilia was that high. The only piece of memorabilia I have is a Cowboys Coke glass that I got for free at a gas station for filling up with 8 gallons or more about 20-25 years or so ago so I haven't paid any attention to it. I quit using the glass because every time I drank from it during the games the Cowboys lost and I'm not superstitious or anything but I quit using that haunted glass years ago.
