Ticket Revenue Has nothing to do with renovations???

OK...then just how will the Chiefs pay the bill for their portion? And the annual rent? And the annual upkeep?. The simple fact is that ticket revenues as well as all other sources of income go on the Income line. And all expences go on the expence line...and the money generated in income goes to pay expences.

The Chiefs bear some of the load on renovations, annual rent and upkeep. So yes, Ticket Revenue does in some way become part of paying the renovation bill as well as the cost of salaries and all other expences.

Ticket Revenue is only 20% of the teams revenue...ok. Ill buy that. But the issue is will people pay the price for tickets and yes so far they seem to be willing to do so and are willing to go see the games and enjoy it. Is there a point where people will stop? Sure. But for our team in this community we seem to have demand at current prices. What is the magic number...who knows.

One of the great things about the Chiefs fan base and people who go to games is the diversity you see. Every game we have great people in our section. From year to year they have changed but we have families, young folks, older folks, people who clearly have the financial backing to do about what they want and those who are just working folks who love the game and the Chiefs. The bottom line for me is it doesnt matter. Once you walk through that gate at Arrowhead, what you have and who you are does not matter. There are no class distinctions. Its true in the game, in the tailgates, and all over. Its a great mix of people from all walks off life who share a passion for the Chiefs.

The "tone of my post" is just simply this. We have a great asset in the Chiefs. And they provide a great source of enjoyment. The cost of tickets and the spewing about how bad carl is or how terrible it is that the Chiefs dare to raise ticket fees or the cost of parking is fine, but lets be realistic and honest. Its a business and we are consumers and so far the business is doing well and the consumer seems to feel the value they get for the price we pay is ok.

There are no fans that are better than other fans. We are all fans no matter if you go to one game, no games, or all games.
