I was discussing NFL ticket prices on another board with a guy who claimed that the NFL franchises were losing money because they were not able to sale out their stadiums. His solution was to down size every NFL stadium and raise the prices on the tickets. I felt that each franchise needed to offer something more for the "NFL experience" that fans supposedly have when they go to the games. It sounds like maybe what he suggested is what's starting to happen.

Think about it. Most of us have big screen, high definition TVs, so our NFL experience is pretty good in the comforts of our own homes. We have the best seat in the house, or we can stand and cheer, we don't have to pay huge prices for food and drink......almost no reason to go to games in person! So, maybe the ticket prices are the start of trying to recoup whatever lost value may have accrued in recent years - but I think that's just the start of it. I think there needs to be something so unique offered when you go to the games, that it would make the price worth it....other than watching your favorite team win of course.
