Worst idea ever

But, the team needs to make sure it’s on TV. First, it does help the team in the long run if fans within 75 miles of the stadium can see the game. Second, the state legislature is looking at requiring a team to buy any unused tickets to ensure a blackout each week. While Stephen Ross did that last year, do you really think he wants to do that every single week?

The team has talked about changing the stadium for years. The want to bring the stands closer to the field – which is the right move. It’s just about finding the money right now.

We currently have the 7th largest stadium in the NFL (75,192 capacity). If you got rid of 10,000 seats, it would still be larger than 7 stadiums. 10,000 is a huge number, but could be the target.

Plus, if they just tarp the seats, it’s not like if demand goes up, they can’t bring the seats back into play.

It is easy…..to fill the stadium just win games.

It is a long drive from Orlando(athough not anything like what OFF4L has to deal with) and my kids aren’t quite at the age where they can appreciate football fully yet… but if they lowered the price I would bring them.

Every year I get emails about 2 tickets two drinks two hotdogs for $99? I know that’s less than 4 or 5. Also they said in the same article that one of the reasons they would tarp off the extra seats is for the plan to add more seats closer to the sideline, so as to not make the stadium bigger thus being even harder to sell out.

Another way to fill the seats is to put a winning product out on the field. Until Ross can do that, he should continue to waste his own money by buying the seats, or offer a reasonable package like you suggested.

Unfortunately, NFL Football is as much a business, as it is entertainment, as it is a competitive game.

I am gettting older everyday like most of you and am also developing a bit of scial phobia becuase of how crazy people can get. I would love a more sheltered section of the stadium were people can just watch the game without some drunk asshole cussing making everyone uncomfortable in front of the kids.

Dodger staduim has the bleacher seats that do not serve alcohol but do come with all you can eat concession foods and drinks. Families typically enjoy that area, but lately they have been dominated by mexican families who dont like to share their area.

So i like the upper deck idea. On one hand, i would like it to be affordable for fans to go, but also cost a little more to keep peopel who lack etiquette and control from ruining our times.
