    I’ve never actually gotten to go to a live NFL game. Almost went to see my home team Tennessee Titans last season, they were up against the New Orleans Saints and I’m right here in Baton Rouge, but we had something else come up. I’d like to go this year. My Titans would be my preference, but I’d love to see a Saints game with Drew Breezy still at the helm.

    If there's any profit made on ticket sales as it relates to the cost stadium operations I'd imagine it goes to the team owner. He might decide to use some of it to increase the salary of his administrative staff as well.

    I would think that if ticket prices are so high attendance is suffering and stadium costs are being met, they would lower the cost of tickets.

    Do you have any facts to offer about this issue or you just spit-balling?

    Which small all market team would that be?

    When everyone one receives the same amount of money to use for salaries and no other source of compensation is allowed, why would market size matter.


    The cities of Chicago, and New York are huge cities. They are two of the most horribly run franchises in the NFL.

    Here. Let me guide you to some information you might find useful when presenting an argument.

    Several small market teams are doing just fine while several larger market teams are struggling.

    When I went to the coaches forum, there was an open bar / social hour preceding the event. My season ticket rep was there to answer any questions.


    I asked about the process and prices for getting a group of friends together to rent a luxury suite for a game. The minimum cost for a luxury suite is 40k a game. We could have a max of 20 people. That comes with an open bar and a buffet.


    Some suites were twice that.
