Nobody played the Free Market Card yet? Wow.
I get what's going on and I get what they're saying, but this growing disconnect between teams and their most loyal, blue collar fans is going to bite them in the arse at some point, I would think.
I know, everybody in the Bay Area's filthy rich and it doesn't even matter, right? The po-folks are Raiders fans.

Did they sell out season tickets?
Are they being sold for more on stubhub?
Why shouldn't the teams get the money instead of the Alejandros

The lowest priced season ticket for most teams ranges from $19 per game (Cleveland Browns) to around $80 per game (New England and 49ers).
There are a multitude of individual games that you can get for way cheaper than that (Buccaneers at Browns - regular season game. A Cleveland family could likely secure 4 tickets to this game for $40 if not less once the Browns start out 2-4).

Bill Simmons has written about this -- it's getting to the point where Joe Fan just goes to one or two games a year. Why bother shelling out all the money and putting up with all the BS with traffic and parking, when you can stay at home and watch the game on a nice high def TV? And you can enjoy all the beer and food in your fridge...
The next time the economy goes in the crapper, it could be bad for pro sports team attendance. The bubble of corporate support that fills the stadiums and luxury boxes may pop.
