When the NFL created this rule 36 years ago, several things were different: 1) Their revenue was more dependent on ticket sales and not as much on advertising and merchandise. 2) Tickets were actually affordable. Most middle income families cannot afford the $125/seat (ticket + parking + concessions). 3) The family dynamic has changed. Most guys can't go if they wanted to because their wives work during the week, and they have to watch the kids so their wives can make up the work that was done during the week in 1974. This and a host of "new" things parents have to do these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26119774.post-15963954714091243052009-09-09T08:11:08.563-04:002009-09-09T08:11:08.563-04:00I have lived in FL for 26 years and the only Jacof...I have lived in FL for 26 years and the only Jacoff Jags fans live in Jacksonville...forget that worthles team and put them Dolphins back on TV every week!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26119774.post-71813943605396001712009-09-03T07:12:21.363-04:002009-09-03T07:12:21.363-04:00This is why people down South watch college ball a...This is why people down South watch college ball and could give a rats ass about Pro ball.Hartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26119774.post-42662816368278186162009-09-02T18:30:38.789-04:002009-09-02T18:30:38.789-04:00What about buying an online feed for NFL games.
