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!!”
