It’s interesting to compare ticket prices nowadays with ticket prices from decades ago, and adjusted for inflation , you’ll find in most sports, tickets are far more expensive now than they were then.
I heard people tell stories about how when they were little their Grandpa took them to Fenway Park , and they were able to do so . Nowadays it is a big expense to take their own children to Fenway Park.
Long term , are sports shooting themselves in the foot, as far as developing the next generation of fans?
I agree. If fans can't afford to take their children to the stadium. Then you won't have fans in the next generation.
