$500 is a lot of money to most people.
$500 is a lot of money to me, but even if it wasn't, I would still rather watch it on tv. When I was a kid there was nothing better than going to a Chiefs game on a cold Sunday morning. Even in my shitty section 110 under the row of televisions where you couldn't see a thing, it was fun. Last game I went to people were complaining about the people in front of them standing up on a defensive 3rd down. The atmosphere just isn't the same. Or I'm not perceiving it the same. I haven't been up there in 2 years. Probably won't go this year either.

Players aren't allowed to have personalities. Maybe a clue about why the NFL is struggling to find marketable superstars post-Peyton. Most NFL stadiums are doing fine with ticket sales, but who are they trying to bring in? Is it the loud, screaming nuts or is it the guy who sits down all game.. maybe a hint as to why fan noise seems to be getting more and more sterile? There's only so many ways you can make a game unaccessible to the average fan before you start to lose the diehards. That's the big difference I've seen. It's amazing to me how many diehard friends or even bars have just had the energy deflated out of them.
Quality post. I still go on occasion, heck I even looked at tix Saturday (and there were plenty), but my days of being a STH are probably done. It's mostly price for me, the NFL just can't resist raping you, twice, at every turn, and that sucks!

The parking and getting to the game sucks balls. Why hasn't KC invested in a shuttle service to Truman Sports Complex? If I didn't have to pay through my teeth for parking, I would be more likely to come.

Econ 101 would say lower ticket prices, but that would require the NFL to swallow their pride.

Perhaps SF should give discounts to BLM and Antifa...

As an addendum, especially for people who aren't local - for two people to attend a game you're probably at or above the cost of a whole season of Sunday Ticket.

7+ hour drive to the game, hotel, meals, fuel, tickets, parking all for what? Probably a $1200 + weekend.

Now if Mahomes is playing. The value would be considered. Whom and I kidding. Still wouldn't go. The home experience beats the stadium experience every day.

Take the announced attendance at both the Rams and Chargers games.

The Rams claimed that 56,000 tickets were 'distributed'. The Chargers claimed that 25,000 attended their game. These numbers are a complete joke, as both places were about half road fans and the Rams game doesn't appear to have been near halfway full, but let's just take them at their word and say that 81,000 people attended an NFL game in Los Angeles yesterday.

The LA Metro area is over 12 million people, so this would be the equivalent of the attendance in Kansas City (~2 million) being, what? 12,000?

You won't find ONE person that thought the Chargers move to Los Angleles would be successful. No one wanted them here and ticket sales will suck.

The Rams, on the other hand, had enormous crowds last year during preseason and broke an NFL record with nearly 90,000 in attendance. But the team sucked, so people stopped going during the course of the regular season but until they put a consistent winner on the field, they're going to struggle with filling the stadium.

There are much better ways to spend a Sunday than sitting in a 95 year old stadium watching a bad football team.

Making up for years of being in St. Louis where they didn't have a lot to charge for parking?
