Section CHR136, Row H. Like River in '83 I was in the corner end zone, VERY top row and paid $15 per game.

But only 8 home games, supply and demand, it's not bad. If I lived close enough to commute to games and not have to stay a night or two I would be at more home games. Nothing like being in that stadium.
Very cool you got season tickets TCS, of the 4 pro sports, there is nothing compared to being at an NFL game.

I did go to beast quake with my then 13 year old son and he told me recently but was one of the best memories of his life . I went to Russell’s reunion of course .
Honestly for the average upper middle class person I don’t know how you can pencil it out these days having season tickets unless you have a network of friends who will buy your extra games .

Now say you make 20-30 bucks an hour, which wouldn’t be a bad wage but not a great one, 8×30=240, somehow ticket prices have way out paced wages! Ticket prices to sporting events have gotten absolutely ridiculous. Fans should get together and boycott games and let them film empty stadiums and see how they like it, but they won’t cause we’re all a bunch of Fanatics!

My buddy bought us denver for my birthday and we always are at least the 30 top of 100 . We were at the back of the endzone. Between price of ticket , stock market etc even Dale blinked and he’s a multi millionaire . It is kind of obscene the type of resources dumped into these franchises stadiums , coaches , players . I guess with snydler in WA asking 7 billion the owners aren’t being hurt . It’s us, the little guy that demonstrates we’re willing to pay it , pay the price .
Hawktawk wrote:Fair point though but the loss of public money to bribe teams will shut down the blackmail other than owners with unlimited resources .
I don’t object to taxpayer dollars myself . I’ve always seen pro sports teams like sort of a port district , a public private partnership for economic growth in a world class city . One only look at the Sonics debacle to see what happens when you lose a pro sports franchise .
