The NFL is so full of itself and fan unfriendly at times. Though I bet they sell a lot of those tickets so perhaps the ends justify the means.

None of them will be poor, I bet. And how many ad hoc souveneir or adult beverage licenses will be sold to cater to these 'poor' in the parking lots? I imagine a grand time will be had. "How 'bout dem ____________s?!!"

Yeah the real fans of whatever teams make it can sit outside while the corporate types can watch inside. I wonder if these people would have to come through a servants entrance onto the property.

$200 to stand and watch the game on TV? You gotta be shitting me. Why not stay at home, throw a Superbowl party, and kick it in comfort on the couch?

I see where they are going. There are always fans of whatever teams play that go to the venue trying to find seats. Many of them go to local sports bars and watch the game there. Now the NFL says why don't we keep them around and make the money ourselves. You are still a moron if you pay them to hand outside.
