“Maybe money will ruin professional sports”
And to think, 1930s depression era was the Golden Years of baseball.
Yes, in the 1930s going a professional baseball game, in the grand stands, costs about $1, which would be about $19.77 today. Cheaper tickets $0,25 to $0.50 were available in “the bleachers”. But today the average price of a pro baseball game ticket is $60 to $80 dollars.
In the 1930s, baseball was something just about everyone felt they could afford. Not today. But, today, everyone can also choose to just stay home and watch the game on TV.
I think any FIFA game I see this year will be somewhere on the TV, but for me that is always the case.
The last pro sports game I saw at a pro stadium was a football game that some corporate account had given us tickets for free.
