Absolutely Unbelievable!

Ohio State vs Michigan is the greatest sports rivalry in
America and this year it's a home game for Ohio State
in the Shoe.

So Stub Hub is selling tickets to The Game. The cheapest
seat they had is Deck 6C, Row 21, $545.00.

The most expensive seat (you might want to brace yourself)
is Deck 11C, Row 29, $49,000.00!

You should probably contact Stub Hub ASAP before they sell out!

Go Bucks!

And I'll bet they still have in-stadium commercials.

I saw an ad for one of the suites at SoFi Stadium for this week's game
between the Cowboys and the Rams-- it'll run you $54,000 and they point
out that does *not* include any food.

You'd think for $54K, they could throw in some cheeseburgers and hotdogs
but no, that's extra.

The whole point of the corporate suites is lots of bar food and alchohol
provided by hot serving wenches. That's what the fee is supposed to pay
for. I don't get it.

The fee pays for the space, and that's it. You have to contract for
everything else, including furnishings and hot wenches.

Carolina Panthers' proposed $800 million practice facility project in Rock Hill, South Carolina, is officially dead after team owner David Tepper’s real estate company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware on Wednesday night.

Tepper, who made billions in hedge funds, is the NFL’s wealthiest owner. The filing will not affect the NFL’s Panthers or Major League Soccer’s Charlotte FC in any way.

It was and remains our intention to continue negotiating in good faith while protecting the interests of our taxpayers,” the City of Rock Hill had said. “In fact, in the past few weeks we have attempted to meet with the Panthers on numerous occasions to no avail.”

The city also claimed that it had met all obligations required under the agreement, but could not provide the Panthers unlimited resources and had to protect taxpayers.

There are morons here who keep saying we need yet another sports
stadium, despite the ones we already have being unused 99% of the time
(and that includes being used for non-sport events like expos). The
morons also claim such stadiums make money, yet they never ever
actually, and the City Council has to take over running them and
wasting tax payer money. Massive events such as the Olympics, Americas
Cup, Commonwealth Games, etc. have never ever made the claimed profits
and benefits ... in fact they usually result in the government / city
council wasting huge sums of money building all osrts of new venues
that after the event become redundant and useless.

There's a stadium near me built some years ago with claims it would be
good for the area and make piles of money - the council has now been
ouring money into it's bottomless pit for nearly 30 years. There's
rarely anything happening there, and when there is an "big" game, all
the roads around here become a nightmare of traffic congestion, partly
thanks to an road system that has the opposite lanes split by a central
grass island (meaning you can't go across the lane to go the other
direction).

If sport was so massively popular (which it isn't) and these stadiums
so great (which they aren't), then the sports teams and the spectators
should be the ones who pay for it and reap the huge profits (which
there are none), not the average tax payer who has zero interest in
going there. Such things should also not be "sponsored" by regular
businesses, which simply means the business customers are being goughed
by excessive prices to fund the events and so the business can claim
tax benefits.

The most expensive NFL team for fans is the Las Vegas Raiders,
with hotdogs going for $7.50, a beer for $13.00 (a shitty lite beer
at that…) and $50 to park.

Back in the late 1990s when the Detroit Red Wings were winning
Stanley Cups, my buddy's (now ex) wife worked for Matty Moroun
(a somewhat notorious Detroit businessman who owned a trucking
company and the Ambassador Bridge) as his personal secretary
and had access to tickets to the company's suite at Joe Louis
Arena, which was an extra large suite behind the goal with
polished wood everywhere and marble countertops, hot chicks
serving free food and drinks, reserved parking and separate
entrance to the arena, etc.

I’ll never sit with the peasants again.

We also got to see Queensrÿche from the company suite at the
Palace of Auburn Hills, which was pretty cool.

The sports leagues make shitloads of money but how much the community
makes off the team is debatable. The problem is (at least here in the U.S.)
that teams bribe politicians and blackmail cities with the threat of moving
the team elsewhere if they don't spring for a new bazillion dollar stadium.

The one Rams game I went to at the new stadium (just to say I did) cost me $80
to park.
