Saving my money for the regular season.
Looks like I'm going to have to sneak in two flasks for games now.

I didn't drink at the game, but when I heard the guy behind me get charged 8.50 I threw up in my mouth a little bit. Strip clubs don't charge that much.

DAYAM! How much for a bottle of water? Sounds like a good time to go on the wagon.

Unless something has changed since last season, they do not check guys below the waste when entering the Dome.

Sneak a flask in the game and enjoy. Problem solved. Plus you will save the million trips to the pisser by not drinking beer.

Yah just sneak in flasks IMO.

It's a no brainer. I don't have my gameday face on until I feel my cool metal flask slide up against my ballsack outside of the stadium as I prep for security.

Which really means, $10 for a beer cause you're after the $1 tip and the .50 that you end up dropping on the ground or just saying frick it and give him a $1.50 tip

It's so absurd that I just can't see how anybody pays it.

That's why I drink enough at the tailgate so that I only need a beer or two one we go inside. Sometimes none if I make my bourbon drink for the walk in strong enough.

Yeah that's high but the norm in every stadium now. I think all NFL fans should boycott by not buying beer on the same Sunday. As long as people buy it, they are gonna keep f ing fans.

They do it so fans don't get too drunk and cause trouble.

yeah .. i partook in four miller lites at the game and marveled at the $40 it cost me (i am a nice guy and tipped the beer dude $1.50 each time .. ) ... i could buy a shite ton of 16oz. lites for that at alberston's ..


will be flask-ing it the rest of the season also ..

I'm gonna start wearing cowboy boots and put a flask in each boot.

As far as pat downs go... Kansas City is the only place I've been to that pat you down below the waste. The touch your arse and cup your balls. I wish I was making this up! After me and my friend got "molested", we watched all the Chiefs fans get groped (we wanted to make sure we weren't the only ones.)

yeah, i noticed all the concessions jumped in price .. of course .. no one is putting a gun to our head and it is our choice whether or not we want to pay those prices ... lesson learned .. get your drink on before the game and eat before or after the game ..

Meh, just don't buy it anymore.
Be thankful that you are fans of a team that has one of the cheapest ticket price structures in the NFL and can still park for free or pretty cheap.
After all, how much would it suck to be a Dallas Cowboys fan? They get assraped in every way possible for the right to be fans.
