Why the hell do so many people's lives revolve around some stupid
football games played on a Sunday afternoon. I mean, do people actually enjoy
watching a bunch of overgrown morons bang into each other for 3 hours? There
are sometimes when I am amused by what happens in the game, but I can catch the
highlights in five minutes on the news instead of wasting my hole freaking day.
These morons (players) are getting paid millions of dollars to run around on a
football field all day long. That's just the beginning of the money they make.
They get paid millions to be in a commercial or say that they wear a particular
brand of sneakers or something stupid like that. These guys have every modern
convenience. They have heaters built into the benches for when it gets cold
outside. For Christ sake, when it is hot outside they have fans that blow cold
water on them, sort of like an air conditioner. Some of these guys even have
the nerve to give up on a play or two. They can even admit to their fans
thatthey didn't want to get hurt or something really stupid like that and expect
them to still cheer for them. The worst part about actually going to watch a
game at the stadium rather than on TV is the prices. To buy a ticket for a
seat in the stadium really is not that bad, but after that they charge an arm
and a leg for whatever you buy. They do not let people bring their own food
into the game so when the spectators get hungry the sunuvabitch's charge
outrageous amounts on the same food that they sell in a supermarket for a
quarter the price. People almost have top be as rich as the players to bring a
whole family to the game and be able to feed them without going broke in the
process. Anyway, the thing that pisses me off the most is these innocent kids.
It is not really the kids that piss me off but the fact that they look at these
moron in uniforms and think of them as role models.

Operating a new stadium would bring new jobs and more revenue. Stadium revenue would consist of ticket sales, concessions, and merchandise. In 1994 ticket prices in the Midwest League ranged between $2.00 to $5.00, so that means that revenue from those tickets would range from $0.61 to $4.00 (Colcough, Daellenbach, and Sherony, 1994).

It all begins with SOS and SOS+. Those are the freshman orientations. Every freshman has been through it and knows what I am talking about. Many of the SOS and SOS+ leaders told the freshman during orientation that nobody goes to the football games instead, they go to the basketball games. As a freshman you want to do everything that you can to fit into the crowd. Of course if an older student tells you that it is not "cool" to go to a football game, then most likely you are not going to go. Freshman Lucy O'Kelley says, "I was scared to go to the football games after my SOS+ leader told me that nobody went to them. I thought I would be they only one sitting in the stands, so I did not attend the games this past season." If most of the freshman felt that way then that was about 900 possible fans that the SOS and SOS+ leaders scared away. They are supposed to be leaders of the university, but yet they are scaring the fans away.

As long as fans willingly pay $120 dollars for a replica jersey, six dollars a beer, and two thousand for courtside tickets to the Los Angeles Lakers, the owners will continue to pass on that money to their stars. People act like they're getting stiffed. Let me ask you, When was the last time, someone stuck a gun to your head and said 'Watch this football game or else'?
There was a time when I played a game were a group of students, about ten of them came to support us but the other team had a whole section packed. Their chanting was louder and it affected our whole team mentally. In short there were a lot more against us than for us. The importance of fans at a game has only mattered for sports like football and basketball but fans need to show support to all sports equally.
All in all, sports fans are some of the most interesting people on the planet. Bandwagon fans like to switch it up every now and then. Casual spectators are there for the pure enjoyment of the show. Hometown/True Fans show their support through thick and then and The Coaches lives revolve around athletics. Even though they’re put into groups, every fan is one of a kind.
Being a fan give football meaning and importance on why this game excites everyone. Within the colossus size of a stadium, holds the heart of the image of football. Traditionally, spectators sit on rows of seats, eating, drinking, or even talking to spectators as the game rages on in the stadium. But, not only spectators can watch these games personally up close, but they can also be at a sports bar, a restaurant, or even at their home. Tailgating is one of the most popular ways of celebrating football by enjoying the game while cooking and serving delicious food like flavorful hamburgers, grilled hot dogs, tender barbecue, and much more. Created by the loyal fans, tailgating became a part of the experience in the tradition of football.

AT&T Stadium (formerly known as Cowboys Stadium) was introduced to the world on May 27, 2009, when country singer and Texas-own George Strait performed in front of 60,188 fans. A few months later, on September 20th, and 4 years to the day after the stadium ground was broken, the Cowboys played their first regular season game versus the New York Giants. The attendance on this historic night was 105,121. Although AT&T Stadium’s listed capacity is 80,000 people, the standing room only areas on the east and west side of the stadium referred to as Party Passes ($29) gives the stadium the potential to hold up to 105,000.
