Why it's a good idea to not build a new stadium

Dallas Cowboys fans wrestle with $100K price tag on seat rights

ARLINGTON – Mark Zable expected to pay a pretty price to continue his
lifelong devotion to the Dallas Cowboys.
But what he got when he visited the Cowboys this week to hear the
team's sales pitch was severe sticker shock – $100,000 each for two
personal seat licenses, a new feature that would allow him to buy
tickets at the team's new $1 billion stadium in Arlington. And those
seats near Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' luxury box weren't even for the
priciest seat licenses in the new stadium – those go for $150,000.
"It takes a different kind of fan to afford these seats," Mr. Zable
said.
Robert A. Baade, president of the International Association of Sport
Economists, said these are the most expensive seat licenses he's ever
encountered. He said it's difficult to know the upper limits of what
the public would pay but that Mr. Jones is walking along that edge.
"He's breaking new ground here," Dr. Baade said.
Most other NFL teams offering seat licenses in recent years have had
prices ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. Many teams are using seat
licensing fees to help pay for new stadiums.
Greg McElroy, the Cowboys senior vice president of sales and
marketing, said the Cowboys have been studying stadium ticket and
suite packages for 18 months. He said these top-tier Founders Club
seats – which number about 1,000 – are comparable to courtside
Mavericks tickets or front-row seats at Yankee Stadium.
He said interest has been strong but that there are no figures about
how many of the super premium seats have been sold.
Texas Stadium has no such premium seats now, making price comparisons
difficult, team officials say. But tickets for similarly located seats
cost $129 this season.

That's because no one in Indianapolis could afford it.
