Disappointed in season ticket holders

When there are too many fans of visiting teams, it does more than affect marginally the home team's chances of winning--it affects the game enjoyment of those Saints fans who attend.

The NFL created this system because it allows the teams to charge more for tickets than they otherwise could. Teams with a national fan base like Pittsburgh, Dallas, San Francisco, and the Raiders and teams with a huge home base like Chicago and Philadelphia will always have in the stands a number of their fans.

My position on this issue has changed. I believe that those season-ticket holders who routinely sell their tickets should lose the following year the right to but season tickets. They are not fans. They are ticket brokers. And the teams could make exceptions each year for those fans who have a legitimate reason why they cannot attend home games and have to sell their tickets. As far as those season-ticket holders who occasionally sell their game tickets, I am not sure there is much that can be done.

One last comment. I see posts where fans lament that a family of four can no longer afford to attend many games. A family of four also cannot afford to attend many Broadway plays. These games are an expensive treat. And I get that the game-day experience can be expensive. A suggestion: Cut back on what you buy at the Superdome. The cost of a beer or most food items has gotten crazy. When I go, I may have two beers. That's it. Do yourself a favor and have a good breakfast and then treat yourself to a nice meal after the game.
