Cowboys may face blackout (yeah like Jerry won't buy every open seat)

I think this would be good gut check for the league. With the NFL's continued growth each year, owners are getting richer every season with the increase in ticket prices. Are we finally getting to the point where the fans stand up and say enough is enough?

To me going to a game is a special event. I live in Richmond so its much harder to make it to MD for a game then say some one in DC, but based off of the cost and time involved attending games is purely becoming a special event for most people. Who really needs to go 8 times a year to a game? Its like your favorite band, you like to see them live every now and then, but you learn the words to their songs by listening to their cd.

Plus the that "League" is starting to become more popular then individual teams. How can people keep up with their fantasy or place bets, if they spend 5-9 hours watching just one game (including traffic and tailgating). If you stay at home you get to watch a lot more games and stay more abreast of other teams. Plus most everyone either has a nice hdtv or knows a friend that does, and I allways get way more out of watching a game on tv then at fedex.
