    Maybe try going the same route as the Atlanta Falcon?

    "Sports fans who have long criticized their favorite teams for the prices they charge at the stadium might finally get their wish of cheaper concessions.

    That's what could happen if others follow the lead of Atlanta Falcons and United owner Arthur Blank, whose group revealed Thursday that, despite lowering their food and beverage prices to the lowest in all of major professional American sports, fans actually spent more.

    Steve Cannon, CEO of the AMB Group, Blank's holding company, told ESPN that although food and beverage prices were 50 percent lower in its new Mercedes-Benz Stadium than the prices in the Georgia Dome the previous year, fans spent 16 percent more.

    "There's a huge value in delighting your fan base, to make them as happy as they could possibly be," Cannon said. "We started with one of the biggest pain points and it paid off.""

    I don't understand the business decisions of some of these people make.

    Many people refuse to buy shit at a game because bottled water is $6. Lower it by 300% and suddenly, everyone is getting something at the game and you're selling shit that takes 20 cents to produce.

    It used to be a common strategy in baseball that the worse your team was, the lower the price of beer and hot dogs. Give them some cheap hot dogs so they get thirsty and give them some cheap beer so that the get drunk enough to not give a fuck about how bad the team is.

    I lived right on the coast in Taiwan across from a park and public farmers market....a flatbed truck heaped with T shirts for about 2 bucks each sold out day after day...the fancy glass windowed T shirt shop next to it had really expensive shit in glass displays and charged a fortune....went days without selling one shirt

    Lol. I'll pay by February. If not, you'll get $5 interest everyday. Perez still hasn't paid and he's going to in the next week and I believe someome on here might not have but I gotta check.

    Thats the funniest thing about sports/business. I won't spend 7 bucks on a "hot dog" and 5 bucks on a cup of fries, but lower the prices to 4 and 3? I'd buy double.

    I've been waiting to see if you'd ever thank me or even say anything nice to me for running the league before I'd pay you too. Never once! Just all about the money for you. Greedy!

    I'd rather pay more for a quality product that is well made and will last.
