One thing I thought was a little screwy in their FAQ sheet was this statement, But reasonably increasing ticket prices alone won't generate enough money to fix the stadium because visiting teams get a cut of 40 percent. Because obviously the Pack gets the same 40% when they are on the road. Unless they are saying that the other teams don't fill the stadiums or Lambeau is much larger the number should be a wash. Nice looking stadium though. All I think about is how it would look in a snowfall. Somehow the idea of the Packers playing at home on a sunny day with trees in foliage does not fit my mental images of the team.

Strange multiples on those ticket prices. The Jets for example at $41.50? My ticket costs are always divisible by $5. Always been $25 or $30 or $40 or whatever, never $41.50 But it looks like the league average is down around where you are now, plus Lambeau is somewhat in the middle as far as capacity is concerned...of course I only glanced at a few stadium capacities though. One thing about Giants Stadium is clear, it's better utilized than most with two teams playing there. I think the Jints get a cut of the Jet games though so I don't know how that affects visiting teams. Whether they get the 40% off the top or after the Giants organization gets a piece I do not know. Of course Giants Stadium gets College games as well, I don't know if that is typical of most stadiums or not. Then you get the traffic with the Harness Track. The damn place is always like going through Times Square on New Year's Eve. EDIT Forgot about the Club Seats. I gave those up because of the the kids who can't use them. Gee, that would another small pile of cash each season.
