I deleted my comment going off on this same tangent because blah, but you are not alone I fully agree. It's so expensive these days, I don't know anyone personally who goes to NFL games on the regular, and with TV blackouts the fact a stadium exists nearby is ironically an active detriment to my NFL experience lol.

Make the ticket prices affordable so more locals can enjoy it again, maybe then we can talk about public funding.

The Lions have had lots of regular people that went to all the games, but that's probably going to end soon. When they sucked season tickets could be around 2k/ticket for decent seats, the prices went up by around 2-3x now though.

If this chart is accurate, lions single game tickets are averaging around $110/ticket last year. That's on the lower end and would still an easy $400+ outing for a party of 3

I'm not familiar with their season tickets, how's the wait list and availability? Lot of markets require waiting in a multi year queue (and maintenance fees or memberships) to even have a chance at a season ticket. People hang on to those and will them to heirs 🙄

They haven't had a waiting list until this year for season tickets. Either way I'm totally on the watching at home is a better experience.

When I was a kid, we went fairly often and we were poor as shit. My dad was frugal and didn’t even like sports but it was affordable entertainment.

Because back then the money was made by selling tickets to fans and concessions. Now teams get more money from broadcast deals so they stopped caring about the fans and jacked up all the prices fans pay.
