$150 cheap seat tickets and $49.99 for a couple dogs and a flat beer.
And fans will attempt to, and sometimes kill, fans of the opposing team. Soccer is famous for this sort of thing; we've all seen it in the news. My father-in-law was waiting in his car for my eldest son to come out after playing the bass guitar during a football game and had guys roll over the hood of his car, fighting after the game. He was old; I sure am glad that the broken windshield protected him from serious injury or death, right there on the spot.
Add in the fact that the view from the couch is better than you'll ever get from lower bowl, 50-yard line seats, or seats behind the plate, and I don't understand why people continue to attend pro games. I live in the Denver metro area, am a huge Broncos fan, and have way better things to do than go to a game on Sunday.
College games however, largely remain affordable, and are a lot of fun to attend. Especially non-football games. I can take the whole family to a DU hockey game and get decent seats for what 1 600 level seat costs for an Avs game. And Nuggets games... fuggitaboutit!
