You never see 20 year old hot guys hanging around fucking 70 year old rich ladies. I wonder if they have to close their eyes to do it. Seems like it would break her heart to think her love is only given to a man with hands as cold as ice.

How old are those, are they new? Something like that if new should be blowing up the football media.

Sounds more like what he was in Dallas, a lazy bum with an attitude not fitting his performance.

Probably had no one good to pass to him in Dallas. Quickly became a great player once he ended up with the Giants.

That article is clickbait. His only real complaint came down to the fact that traffic was shitty getting there and there isn't good public transportation which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone being in Santa Clara.

Surprising to me was only 70k seats. Figured they would have went for more unless his numbers are wrong

Yeah, it is going to be an absolute nightmare around there at game time. Great America Parkway and the 237 is going to be backed up for hours and hours.

A buddy of mine went to the soccer game and his only impression was "wow". I meant to ask him about the parking and how tough it was to get around, but we haven't had much time to chat about it. He sent me a bunch of text messages saying the stadium was amazing though.

The trend with NFL stadiums(other than Jerrydome) seems to be less overal seats, but more high-dollar luxury suites. Heck, 9 of the 12 largest NFL stadiums were built prior to 2000, Lambeau is stil 2nd largerst and its ancient.

I do find it interesting though how small NFL stadiums are compared to college football stadiums. There isn't an NFL stadium in the top 15 largest football stadiums in the US

Hell, Yale's football stadium is the same size as Soldier Field, and Purdue plays in a stadium the same size as the Colts. Heck, my Missouri Tigers(who to be fair, are a generally average to above average team, we arent winning national titles or anything) play in a stadium that's bigger than half of the NFL stadiums. The freaking Rice Owls have a larger capacity stadium than the New England Patriots. I bet the Pats won more games in the last 2 years than Rice has won in the past decade.

Tickets to college games are a shitload less expensive than NFL games, and they've got tons of students going to the games. You can see the trend with what's happening in new NFL stadiums between the increase in number of luxury boxes, PSL's, and just overall price hikes. They've probably done the math and 70-ish thousand is around the sweet spot to keep the stadium near capacity, keep prices high, and lower the risk of a blackout if the team sucks and people stop paying the ridiculous prices. A 90,000 seat stadium is great when the team is good, but once that team puts up a few back to back losing seasons it's probably a real burden.

I am virtually positive that under the old Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Players Union, money from regular seats was shared, but luxury suites were not. Unsurprisingly, stadium design tended more and more towards luxury suites as a result. (This was yet another reason why the NFL couldn't just drop an existing team into LA into the old Coliseum - the owner/player income split there would have sucked.)

I believe that under the current CBA, all the income, regardless of what type of seat, is split equally. I'm intrigued to see if stadium design will tend towards less luxury suites as a result, or if declining general admission will keep pushing stadiums towards selling luxury suites to businesses and the like.

I think it has more to do with TV black outs. If you make massive stadiums you have to consistently sell a lot of seats.
