I think sports could be in trouble, from the standpoint of how expensive tickets to games have gotten.

Professional sports have been catering to the corporate/yuppie types for years now. There are reasons for that, in terms of skyrocketing players salaries and other costs of doing business.

But, for whatever reason, average middle class people just don’t attend as many games because they can’t afford to do so.

So, sports are in trouble, if the corporate types ever decide that season tickets and luxury suite rentals don’t fit into their corporate budgets or corporate ways of doing business anymore.

Who is going to buy those tickets at inflated prices? Who is going to rent luxury suites if corporations decided to pull out of such arrangements????

I have had NFL season tickets for just under 20 years now. Your comment above is dead, solid 100% INCORRECT. In fact, I'm always amazed (given the prices charged) how many, many lower middle class people I see at the games.
