Did you put whomever said it on his butt? Geebus.

Holy smokes. I wouldn't pay $75 to tailgate unless several cases of beer came with it. LOL.

There was a great article in a financial magazine (maybe Forbes) last year about the NFL's business model. One of the things the author pointed out is that the combination of the high cost of attending games, the advent of NFL game packages on TV, and the great advances in television technology and NFL TV production over the years is starting to hurt NFL team revenues at the gate. Apparently, NFL games on TV are so entertaining that watching a game live has become a boring ordeal for many fans.

Naw it was my boss LOL

First of all, Arlington is a HORRIBLE place for a stadium, it’s in the middle between Dallas and Fort Worth, which means that it takes most people in the Metroplex at least an hour to get there, and that’s assuming the traffic is good.

Also, it costs an arm and a leg to park there, and there is no mass transit there.

Plus the huge TV over the field means you basically wind up watching the game on TV, which you could do if you just stayed home.

They are seriously greedy.

[dfwgator]

Jerry Jones, the only owner in history who has fired TWO two-time Super Bowl Champion head coaches.

[Alberta's Child]

It's hard to call them "greedy" when we're talking about entertainment here, and when there are thousands of people willing to pay those prices for something as inconsequential as a football game.

At some point the NFL is going to run out of gas, but I've been saying that for years and it hasn't happened yet.

[UCANSEE2]

Nope. It’s because the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are not that ‘hot’ anymore.

[mylife]

I used to go watch them play in play offs when they were Superbowl team.

Giants.. Eagles...

That was like $100.

1K a pop to see losers in pink shoe laces? No Thanks.

Although the article does not mention it, I will.

The curse of Michael Sam has descended on the Dallas Cowboys.

[DoodleDawg]

So tell me Dallas Fans, does Michael Sam have anything to do with this?

Do you honestly believe that the Cowboy's problem with their fans is only a week old? Really?

[dfwgator]

America’s Team? HA, they aren’t even Dallas’ team anymore.

[11th Commandment]

Agreed, Sam has nothing to do with this. Opposition fans have been packing the new stadium for a while- even GIANT fans. Jerry Jones is a loser and has made the Cowboys a joke.

[dfwgator]

I call it the Curse of Josh Brent.

[Windflier]

overall, we’re pretty tired of the way JJ runs the team.

Ain't that the truth.

If Jerry weren't the owner of the Cowboys, he would have been fired long ago for his rotten management of the team.

I'm afraid the 'boys are just gonna keep going downhill, until Jerry croaks, or sells the franchise.

[mylife]

Well I do not see how the average American can take the family out to the NFL ball game anymore.

[dfwgator]

Jerry isn’t even the worse GM in DFW, that distinction belongs to John Daniels, who just ran off Ron Washington, along with all the others he’s run off.

Frankly, I've been a Cowboy-hater since this moment:

Drew Pearson, offensive pass interference against Nate Wright, 1975 NFC Divisional Playoff. Called the "Hail Mary", but in actuality one of the worst non-calls in NFL history.

Your post reminds me of one of my favorite NFL quotes of all time:

"The Dallas Cowboys may be America's team, but the Houston Oilers are Texas' team." -- Bum Phillips
