That whole NFLN mess is a real fiasco, isn't it? We should send "notes of
appreciation" to Jerry Jones and the NFL.
And of course, if you want to buy season tickets in the new Dallas stadium
with good seats, you'd best be a dot com millionnaire. It will no longer
be
posssible for ordinary "circus folk" like the rest of us to actually get
to
see games in the stadium :-)

Very true Grant,
Many people in Wisconsin are NOT happy about this NFL Network mess. For
instance people in the metro area of Madison (which has about 200,000
people), and the western part of the state (like Eau Claire with 65,000
people) will not be able to see the Packers game unless they have the NFL
Network, because they are not a part of the Packers' home viewing area, in
spite of the fact they they are just as staunch of fans as we are around
here. Forcing the cable networks to sell it at extra cost as a part of
the basic package is silly. Most people don't want to have to pay extra
to see "all NFL - all the time."
As for the seating at the Cowboy's stadium - yeah I'd heard that even bad
seats are fetching around $1000 as of this morning. Up here, it's almost
impossible to get season's tickets to Packers games. The waiting list is
like 35 years. And since many families will bequeath their seasons
tickets to family members when they die, or don't want them anymore (the
Packer franchise allows this), unless you get lucky, and somebody is
selling tickets, gives you them, or (as was the case for me back in High
School) you get to march during the halftime show, you're out of luck.
