I don't go out much to sporting events and maybe I've been to 5 games in the last 10 yrs, but I've always wondered why everything at these stadium is so expensive.

Now I've finally got it, they gotta pay the players their multi millions for throwing a toy ball.

Buffalo Bills games are usually the cheapest, partially because of lower ticket prices (approx. $100 per game) but also, poor performance means late-season internet pricing can be well below that. I too can not fathom spending $350 a ticket for a larger-city team, plus the additional $100 or more for parking, snacks. It is outrageous. At those prices, I think many fans are just looking for a reason to leave the NFL behind, and Goodell has given us one.

Well yes and no. Simply put, they charge that much because they can. If salaries were capped at $100,000 per year, owners would still try to maximize concession profits.
