From one of the many sports travel vendors out there selling ticket packages for Super Bowl 50, here are some sample ticket prices:

 (sidebar: I hate that the NFL decided to use "50" instead of the traditional roman number "L"; George Carlin would agree, since "FOOTBALL IS PLAYED IN A STADIUM. WAR MEMORIAL STADIUM.  baseball is played in a park. a baseball park. weeeeee!")

3 nights hotel way way out of town (transportation to game included) + ticket and "pregame bash" (a $315 value): starts at $6695 per person

4 nights high-end hotel smack in the middle of SF's financial district (the good part of town), plus ticket and Steve Young hosted pre-game party (a $675 value by itself) will run you $7475 and up.

Tickets to pre-game party and game, no hotel needed? You're looking around $4300.

My plan to save some $$ if I were to head out that way, would be to hang out in town Thurs/Fri/Sat and then fly back on an early Sun flight to be home for the 6p kickoff and watch it on TV.  And I'd do the Taste of the NFL event on Sat night.  Been to a previous one on comp tickets, and it was FANTASTIC.   holy crap, though - tickets are $700 each???   May have to rethink the feasibility of my idea

Wow, never realized how expensive they were.  Unbelievably, my buddy from Charlotte is a finalist (one of four) for the Courtyard Marriott contest that would win him an all expenses trip for four (myself included) to the game.  Vote here for Greg Baskwell (you may recognize his dog videos) to send some Panthers fans to SF!

iAs a second generation hippie... Going to San Francisco and the area is one place I've always wanted to go. And now a possible SB appearance? I need a miracle and a hit. A lottery hit.

 

I've always wanted to check out the hate assberries district

      Another Win

      Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down.

      Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
