Good. They should double the prices next year too.

I agree they should be priced at what the market is willing to pay. If they have no problems selling out this year, they should raise prices again next year. Fuck the scalpers.

Yeah its finally gotten to the point where it doesn't make financial sense for me to go to a Bears game unless I get the tix for free. Rather sit on the couch and have beers that don't cost 8 bucks a pop.

I think it's good to go to a game every other year or so. I've got three kids, they've each been to a game. My job as a dad is done as far as sporting events go.

The game is MUCH better at home - unless you like battling traffic, paying ridiculous prices for parking, walking alot, being in the company of a bunch of foul mouthed drunks - that are usually football stupid. ...and of course, not have any idea what's going on in any of the other games.

I'll take the GridCave and my free Red Zone every Sunday!

Yeah, until you join the CSFMB chat room.

Exactly. Why should scalpers get rich off the Bears product? That's just stupid.

Normally I'd bitch, but quite honestly I haven't been to a sporting even in 12-15 years. About the only thing I still need to do is see the Hawks and then I'm done. My family was never interested in paying the prices 20 years ago, let alone now.

So if people wanna pay, I'm all for that.

I'm curious as to what the $150 seats I was sat in 6 years ago cost now. $250?

Where were they? First game in the remodeled Soldier Field. Sat in the lower level near the 10 yard line, about 8-10 rows off the field. I think the tickets were like $80. They are now $153.

ding ding ding. Once in my lifetime was enough for going to an actual Bears game.

And they probably sold out every game very quickly.

I'd say they aren't high enough.

The place is a shit hole! A new shit hole, but still terrible for $450 Mill!!!! Said it when it was built and many others now jumping on the wagon.

Forget what it looks like (Spaceship landing), the bathrooms are too small, the vending sucks, the video replay screens are poorly designed, etc etc etc...could go on and on with the cheapest materials used.

Bottom line is that the stadium was built as the largest portion of funding that took care of many others....Mayor Daley for the Park, Jerry R for The Cell, Ryan for Kankakee, Money to U of I...

So even though $600 Mill was funded from the ISFA about $450 mill went to the bullshit renovation....

Yes, Jerry drove the whole the project, but at the same time the McCaskeys needed Jerry because they don't make political donations of significance to get any favors! Maybe George is doing so now, so next time they dont need to go begging to Jerry!
