NFL to charge people $200 to stand outside Super Bowl stadium
By Chris Chase
For one-third the price of a regular ticket, NFL fans will be able to stand outside Cowboys Stadium and act like they are attending the Super Bowl XLV. The league announced on Wednesday that tickets to watch the game on large HD video screens on the east side of the stadium will cost $200.
They're calling it the "party plaza," because what's more of a party than spending two bills to go through a security line for the right to sit on a grassy knoll, pay $9 for a beer and watch a game that's freely available on television?
Tickets will first be offered to Cowboys season-ticket holders who will have to buy in blocks of four. The $800 will cover four tickets to watch the game, four programs, four scarves and a parking pass. Scarves? For that price, they better be Burberry.
"We've never done this before," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told ESPN Dallas of the league's plan to price-gouge folks who want to attend the Super Bowl without actually attending the Super Bowl.
Besides additional revenue, the biggest upside for the Cowboys is that those buying tickets to the party plaza will count toward the game's official attendance. Jerry Jones has expressed a desire to break the Super Bowl record for biggest crowd, which was set in 1980 when 103,985 attended the game at the Rose Bowl.
How people standing outside a stadium counts as attendance is beyond me. If you're standing next to an unplugged TV, does that mean you'll be tallied in the Nielsen ratings?
Hey NFL, go fuck yourself, seriously if I didn’t love football as much as I did I would never watch it again or go to another game. You want me to pay $200 dollars to tailgate in your “party plaza”? ok, well this “party plaza" better have beer taps set up everywhere with hot naked chicks running the tap, fucking food galore, a blow job tent, a lap dance tent, beer pong tournaments, hot tubs with naked chicks in it, Asian massage tent, oh yea and somewhere for me to take a nap at half time.
But do you think that’s what this “party plaza” is going to have? Nope, none of that, just your regular jillion dollar fucking flat beers and shitty hotdogs for half a jillion dollars, oh but you get a free scarf, so it all evens out. Suck my dick NFL. I will gladly spend $50 Bucks buy a shit ton of wings, and beer and stuff my face until I fall into a coma because 1. I don’t care about the fucking super bowl since the Eagles are not in it and 2. I wouldn’t pay $200 to stand outside anywhere.
If I went to Dallas for the super bowl I would stand outside the ropes of the “party plaza” with my dick out telling everyone how completely fucking dumb and insane they were for buying a ticket to this.
P.S. Fucking Jerry Jones, this guy has to wipe his ass with Ben Franklin's right?
