Steelers - Bucs game will be blacked out in Tampa.
Now before you start to get down on the Tampa fans understand this. At the start of this week there were only 4000 tickets left. As of this morning there were only single seat tickets left, meaning you couldn't by even 2 seats next to each other. And the cheapest ticket left were $152.

$152 a ticket, in a severely depressed economy, to sit in the sun in a 100 degree stadium and drink $8 beer.

Would you go?

1. Which really sucks
because I think that this will be a good game. Also currently a 50% chance of rain on here on Sunday.

4. $152 is a ridiculous amount of money
to watch a football game.

I haven't had cable in two years, yet I see more sports than ever. :)

8. Don't forget the 30 or 40 dollar parking...
I'm telling you now...
The NFL's days are numbered.
Cost and concussions are going to combine to drive profits down and anxiety up.
Let's see how Jerry Jones is going to fill his palace at 0-3 and a lockout looming.
I can't wait.
For about 25 years I lived and died (died more often) on Sundays when my beloved Denver Broncos played.
I spent thousands on tickets, airlines, hotel rooms, and car rentals to see the Broncos play in Denver and Kansas City.
Now, I'm like that movie...
"He's just not that into you"

Anymore.
