Cities bend over backward to build stadiums for the NFL commissioner's teams, usually on their own dime. Television networks back up armored trucks to the league's Park Avenue headquarters for the rights to carry games. And loving fans stream through those stadium turnstiles in droves to enjoy the NFL experience.
It sounds pretty good for King Roger. Or does it? The third part of that equation, the part where rabid fans pay hundreds of dollars for tickets, tens of dollars to park, exorbitant prices for concession products all to sit in hot temperatures in September and in freezing conditions in December often next to foul-mouthed drunks isn't quite so appealing to a growing number of people.
Apparently more and more folks in NFL cities are weighing the prospect of watching games at bars, or on their cell phones, or just in the comfort of their living rooms against the "privilege" of taking in an oh-so-special Detroit-Buffalo November clash from the splendor of Ralph Wilson Stadium and saying, to paraphrase Eric Cartman, "Screw you guys, I'm staying home."
