there is no other $250 ticket on my radar, no other event has ever been worth that kind of $ to me and this has been on a consistent basis for decades.
the owners are billionaires. it damn near happened over night for them. now the game will be put to rest by lawyers.
watching the NFL last season was a snore. there were so many "illegal contact" calls the game suffered contact. this year I expect it's going to look like pattycake. WR's will put up record yards this year.

you have good foresight my friend. I can't see football ever going away because it's Americas #1 sport and the money involved. But the game will evolve to a point where contact will be forbidden and people will probably still watch it.
But you can forget about the days of playing hard defense. There may never be another defensive hall of famer to emerge again, because they can't play defense. It's sad.
It's not like they don't know the risks when they play and you are right, the game suffered last year. Players are gonna be scared to put a good hit on someone and it's pathetic.
