I wonder if added ad revenue would be enough to make up for it?

thats my thought as well. Id be more than happy to drop $150-$200 a season to see the saints. Im not doing 350 to catch a bunch of shite i dont care about when I can just watch redzone for $40-$50 a season

ETA: okay $250 for early subscribe isnt awful


There are so many factors for me living in Houston as a Saints fan. If this was 2018, I'd pay for this in a heartbeat knowing the Saints were a Super Bowl favorite. At the same time, they would also be in a ton of national games and likely in the Houston market quite a bit. For this season, when the Saints will likely not be on prime time a bunch and Sunday Ticket would be needed, I'm less enthused to purchase because of the fact that they might suck.

So the issue isn't with the provider, it's with the NFL. No A La Carte means no bueno. MLB streaming is far, far superior. Hell, I'm sure even Nascar gets this shite properly. I won't miss it.

If I really need to watch a game, I can find a stream. Not invested so heavily into the NFL that I am paying an extra 450 a year for out of region coverage. I will live with the buffering.

Girlfriend and I were pumped about this option, but $449 dollars just seems a bridge too far when half the games are available for free anyways.

If you want to watch all the games or a team that is not in your market it's not that pricey compared to going to a Buffalo Wild Wings every Sunday. If you go to BWW and get 3-4 beers over 3 hours and some wings you are going to spend with tax and tip at least $30.

The dudes I see watch games in sports bars repeatedly order waters all day and wear Dallas Cowboys gear.

MLB does that and it increases their revenue.


But if you’re a fan of an MLB team who doesn’t live in the city but close enough to be deemed “in market”, you can’t buy that team’s games only. You can’t get that teams’s games at all on MLB.TV.

MLB blackouts are a problem.

I wish NFL would just take the March Madness / College football approach and put games on every network on TV, but I guess they don't want to give up the approx. $800 million generated from Sunday Ticket (2.4 million subscribers in 2022).


It's a premium product. Sports in the States is a untouchable golden goose. It's the sole reason television has survived.

Hopefully that gets fixed soon. Especially with Bally going belly up.

WAS a premium product. It's no longer worth what YoutubeTV has to charge to turn a profit on this archaic format. NFL quality wise has been brutal over the past few years.

Because it's the last vestige of broadcast TV, doesn't mean innovation isn't imperative. NFL for sure wasn't a Golden Goose for DirecTV...they lost money on it. Golden Gooses don't lose money, they print money. Sports is risking a lot banking on themselves being the last bastion of ad revenue for broadcast TV.

$250 is pushing it. But I really wanna see all of the Steelers games living in Atlanta so I'll consider it and talk to the wife about it. I'm already a YTTV customer.

The $249 is pretty reasonable to me. I’ll be signing up.

Feels like Sunday ticket is becoming more for hardcore gamblers than hardcore football fans.
