That will be 300,000,000$ please… paid in 3 installments

By Tangotiger, 06:05 PM

The NY Giants announced their plans in selling personal seat licences.  It looks like the average licence is around 4K I suppose, and with 75K seats… well, the math is easy here.  K times K is MM.  And 75 times 4 is 300.  Wow.  Imagine buying a baseball team for 300MM.  Instead, here, you pay 300MM for the right to buy tickets!  Fantastic idea.  I’m sure the Jets will follow something similar.

By the way: no complaining.  If you don’t like it, don’t buy it!  Reminds me of Kelly Ripa being outraged at the 20,000$ price tag of some Hermes purse. 
- “This is an outrage, this is ridiculous, I can’t believe it!”
- “Miss Ripa?  It’s our last bag.”
- “I must have it!!”
