You Know What Really Grinds My Gears...

..$9 for 2x20 oz bottles of mountain dew at the stadium.  WTF?  I can understand inflated prices for stuff like bb-q, brisket, etc. or hell even a souvenir cup  But this is something that comes in the exact same package that we can buy it in from a store. Its marked up 450%!!!.  Thats just ridiculous.  You cant bring you own poo into the stadium so you are forced to buy it from concessions.

 

 

and yes I understand I can watch the game from home but I rather support the "team" by buying a ticket.  They should support the fans by not raping them on soda.

You need to frequent the tinderbox more. That way you would know that they all hate capitalism, market economics....and that companies should not make a profit.

 

Don't listen to this guy.  He probably thinks $12 for a beer is OK because HE can afford it and doesn't care about anyone else.  He probably doesn't think you work hard enough and that's why you can't buy it.

 

In seriousness though, it is capitalism and that is how the country is ran.  Can you blame them?  It's just business.  Same reason we pay so much for broadband that sucks compared to other countries that pay far less for better quality.  If someone is paying, they'll be selling, and if everyone agrees to sell it for that much, no one is going to break the trend.

I think $12 a beer is absurd. Which is why I drink heavily at the tailgate....bring a water into the stadium...and usually buy one soft drink during the game.

I choose not to pay their price. If everyone does this, the price would drop. Instead , there are people like you....pay the price and then bitch about it on a message board.

They charge the price because they have a captive audience that is willing to pay.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
