At any new stadium, there would have to be some kind of lease costs to the Skins as tenants even if it is a sweetheart deal. That increase in costs would mean ticket prices will have to go UP.

So how is this ticket price INCREASE going to assure more hard-core fans and fewer of the corporate folks who are there to be seen there and not to see the game there?

This does suck! But it is true, the coorporate people will decrease. Is it gonna be a dome or an open roof???
