I'm not saying that the fans have reached all new heights with "Super Bowl Madness." I'm saying that the NFL has reached new heights in it's madness!
Why?
I just read that the NFL will be charging $200 per ticket - to stand outside the stadium and watch the game on TV.
In text-speak, that reads "O - M - G."
Does the NFL even consider what sort of can of worms they're opening? By putting fans outside the stadium, standing in the weather, they may find themselves liable for every runny nose belonging to one of those poor, ripped off fans.
Here's my suggestion, and this is just if you really do feel the need to be on the stadium's grounds during the game. Load up a pickup truck. Include these items: A small generator, 52 inch TV, and antenna. Also a grill, cooler full of iced beers, plenty of brats and buns with relish, ketchup, mustard, etc. A number of cheap, folding lawn chairs. Drive to the game, park in one of the incredibly oversized parking lots - you should be able to see the stadium just about at the horizon - and set everything up. TV just under the topper, protected from the weather, so you can watch the game. Generator up by the front of the truck, so it's not too loud. Grill, nice and hot, brats, turning golden over the heat, with the buns optionally toasting on the top rack. Wearing a warm coat, a cold beer in hand, enjoy the tailgate party with any friends who were willing to come along and also spend cash on the overpriced parking. After all, this is the exact same experience the NFL is offering for 200 bucks a head, but you can get it all for the price of... what? A $50 parking fee?
