I just bought my 5th year of tickets today (Go Skins!). The price has increased once in five seasons.

Beer has gone from $7 to $7.50 to $8 in four years.

If you are in the premium/club levels, then the price increases each and every year as well the fee for parking. I am a fan and willing to support OUR team, but there is a reason why we are the #2 most profitable sports franchise in the world!

Wrong we have had one price in increase in 5 seasons. But we still have pretty expensive tickets. That's what we get for selling out games. Demand drives the price.

I heard that the Dallas stadium was 100,00+ as planned. Never heard about the 80,000 with the option to expand to 100,000. With Dallas not being in the top 11 in the attendance stats Matty has given us, who knows if Dallas will beat us out if they do go for the big 100,000 enchilada. Knowing the Danny, he will find a way to stuff 15,000 more folks into Fedex anyway.

Gus - here is the link to the new stadium Dallas is building

[URL="http://stadium.dallascowboys.com/"]Dallas Cowboys New Stadium[/URL]
- 80,000 for football and the stadium can be expanded to 100,000 for (the site says 100,000 for the Super Bowl). It looks like they will not try and compact as many seats for regular season Cowboys games so fans are not on top of each other and have good views.

What I wish we had at Fed Ex is the high defninition mega screens that the Cowboys stadium is getting - each screen facing the sides will be 60 yards long - kind of makes the Fed Ex replay screens look dumpy - which I never liked to begin with anyway.

Maybe the Skins will build a new stadium in 15 years that is even better than the one Dallas is making now.

The New Giants stadium will hold 87.000
