“Half a billion to the taxpayers of Mn for 8 games a year.”
How much do you think it will cost you to bring your family to even one home game? Including parking, etc.
My family = 7.
Tix - $100 each (cruddy seats) = $700
Food at the game x 7 = $140
Parking at the game = $30
Tank of gas for 4 hour round trip = $100
Total: $970
Not a chance in the world. I used to bleed purple. I have been reformed.
I think I’ll send half of that to Compassion International and spend Sunday afternoon playing catch with my kids in the yard instead of wasting resources on NFL. Under that scenario, everyone TRULY wins.
