it's always interesting when you're in a suite watching both the delay on the field and the broadcast. Even after the commercials, the teams are standing there waiting and CBS is showing a Survivor promo followed by highlights from the 1974 game between the two teams, followed by Gary giving updates on his keys to the game.

This. While people are watching high def TV in their air conditioned living rooms with the beer in the ice box and the bathroom right there--we are all baking in the sun, for a lot of money. The games are being run for the TV crowd, so drops in attendance are expected, or should be. To see the future of the stadium experience you should go to the Cowboys stadium in Dallas. The 60 yard long TV gives as good a view from the high seats as the TV viewer gets, and it's used as a form of entertainment during the TV commercials.
