    I went to a Jets game today and the tailgating that I saw was unreal. RVs, kegs of beer, gigantic grills, I saw a "DJ" setup under a tent with an iMac, laptop, mixer, the whole setup. Granted he was playing shit music.
    I was gifted the ticket but saw that the face value was $116 for a second level seat that was smaller than the smallest airplane seat I've been in. Then I bought two beers for my friend and I - $12 each.
    This stadium holds 70,000 people I think. WHO THE FUCK CAN REALLY AFFORD THIS SHIT?

    • It was also their home opener (only happens once a year... the party is usually bigger)PonyBoy
    • Most of the tickets are bought by corporations for "client entertainment." So, they get a tax subsidy.boobs
