going to pro sports events

[jipped genes]

took my son to a dallas stars game yesterday.

total cost:


parking: $15
tickets: $40 each (terrible nose bleed seats)
hot dogs: $6 each
drinks: $5 each
beer: $8 (damn that is a six pack of premium beer!)

total: $125

and the starts didnt even show for the game. they played terrible i almost fell asleep.

My son and I love going to baseball and hockey games but the prices keep going up. i understand a free market economy but damn its got where a regular middle class person cant afford to go to games.

dont even get me started with the dallas cowboys. i would have to take out a second mortgage to go to one of their games.

thanks to minor league baseball for giving us a sports event that is fun (BYOB!!!!!!!) and cheap $7 a ticket and free parking

anybody else like going to sporting events?

My brothers in law, father in law and I just went to a basketball game a few weeks ago. We had floor seats and backstage access . We took pictures with the team dancers. Free beer, free food, tshirts, caps. My father in law won a signed jersey by Vince Carter.

Total Cost : $0.00

Guess who paid for it all? TD Bank. Gotta love those banks
