Goodell concerned that HD is so good, there’s no need to buy tickets - Page 4 - The Orange Mane

Back in the '90's, I used to go 5+ times a year. Seemed like we'd be down there every other weekend. Always scalped best available tix out front, right before game time, usually for below face value. (I remember one time in 2000 we scored Club seats on the 50 for $40 each - SCORE!!)

Me & my buddy (or my son, when he got a little older) would park free at one of the strip malls further south on Federal & hop on the '31. And before the strip search/pat down era, it wasn't a big deal to sneak in a quart of something to warm the kidneys. We could usually get in & out for under $100.

Niow, not so much.

I still go once a year, on average, but I have to plan it.

I honestly can say that this past weekend was my 2nd Broncos game of my life. The first being the Jacksonville game a couple years back which was miserable...4 hour drive with perfect weather, then we get into the game and it poured the broncos lost etc...

This past weekend was amazing even with upper level tickets, I got 2 tickets for 150$ midfield. The game was great.

Having experienced both a great game and a terrible game in person, and hundreds watched on TV. I would go to the games everyweekend if I could, nothing like the experience of the opposing fans and broncos fans interracting in the game and trash talking that occurs in game.

I think this is just like going to see a concert, if you have a great stereo im sure the quality is amazing and price is alot cheaper. But the experience of the concert is still where its at.

the bigger problem is getting sunday ticket off of ****ty directv and letting other providers offer it too. NBA, MLB, NCAA all do....... why should the NFL be any different
