PSLs for our "New Atlanta stadium"


DeathFromAbove

Recommended Posts

I've been gone for years, most of ya'll probably won't even recognize my username!

Anyway here's what I wanna know, used to read nothing but complaints about the PSL program - I've had season tickets at the Ga Dome for 13 years but after the last two seasons I barely want to renew for 2015, much less send Arthur Blank thousands of dollars so I have the "right" to buy season tickets at the new palace he forced down our throats. (replacing a paid off facility)

Just curious to hear your general thoughts, Cosmogirl (Robin) gave me an earful about them way back when...

I like them because (duh) you have your seats for big games. You know the view and you know with whom you are sitting. There is a certain area I like to sit and some I hate. The PSL fee itself is paying for a shiny new stadium.

 

The problem we have is that lot's of folks bought PSLs and don't really come to games anymore. So we don't fill up and it is easy for opposing fans to get seats. Even for our playoff game apparently face value was easy to get on the street. The games that I recall being very very hard to get were Dallas, New England and SF playoffs.

 

The PSLs to my left and right are never sat in by the owners.

 

Long answer short...you will be fine if you don't buy PSLs.

2 - 80grand in San Fran!!!

 

Talked to an old gal in the airport there this spring and her and her husband were long term ticket holders at the stick and they were essentially forced to walk away due to the new psl fee...they received no discount or anything kind of loyalty thing

Absolutely think long time season ticket holders deserve some sort of discount as a reward for our loyalty but doubt we get anything of the sort.

 

The way the Georgia Dome was originally financed should be a model for other cities...instead Arthur wants to get greedy...makes me sad.

I'll probably just start going to a handful of games and tailgate the rest (live a few blocks away).

Never been a PSL owner myself but not for any philosophical reason, just never had the cash for the 4 PSLs i felt I needed and I'm 90 miles away so that means I'm spending 5-6 hours in the car for 3-4 hour game.

 

 

That said...

 

 

I'm actually in favor of the concept and since the career has been good to me will likely be grabbing at least a pair in the next year.

 

If for no other reason than when the day comes that the Panthers grab that #1 seed I dont want to scramble for tickets.

PSLs are stupid and hurt the team fanbase. The experience of going to a game is one of the things that develops a fanbase. PSLs make it so it's difficult for anyone without a PSL to go to the games.

 

Rich people buy up all the seats and don't bother going to the games and sell the tickets to the opposing team.

 

Also if you're so rich you can just buy tickets each game even above face value.

    • Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
    • When it comes to evaluating talent, the equation is actually pretty simple. If you're elite in both the measurable traits (size, speed, strength) and the mental side (IQ, instincts), you're looking at a Hall of Fame trajectory—assuming injuries don't derail you. If you're elite in one area but just decent in the other, you can still carve out a Pro Bowl career. Decent in both? That's your typical NFL starter. But here's where it gets tricky—and where a lot of athletes, especially the ones who dominate practices, find their ceiling. If you're not a starter and you don't excel on special teams, you won't last in this league. The roster math is unforgiving. That "what if" game has been playing out in Carolina for a while now, especially at wide receiver. You've got guys who light it up in practice—everything looks smooth, natural, effortless. But when the lights come on and the defense throws a look they haven't seen on tape, the processing slows down. The game speeds up. And when they have to think instead of just react, they crumble. That's the danger. Put a player like that on the field—any position, really—and expect him to process on the fly, and you're setting him up to fail. Now factor in that he was a top-10 pick, not some late-round flier or UDFA. A franchise invested everything in him. They moved pieces around, changed coaching, changed systems—tried everything to help him succeed. But here's the reality check: if he's out there, remember that the guys lining up across from him are also getting paid millions. And their job is to find that weakness and exploit it every single snap.
    • I think he'd make a good QB spy role in those mobile QB games, like Chicago. Just send him at Caleb every play.
