New stadium?

[Moderator 3]

They'll have better attendance with more affordable tickets. I never understood why the ticket prices are so high. If I owned a team I would lower prices to increase attendance and thereby avoid empty seats which cost money. An empty seat costs money. They'd be better off that way and then incorporate more advertisements in the game. Lol maybe they could put advertisers on the turf or grass I don't know.

Most teams have no problem filling their stadiums at current prices. Only a few "loser" teams can't regularly sell out.

Well....I'm sure if your purse can fit the kitchen sink in it, they will reject it. It would suck if it was just a clutch bag or a satchel or even a hobo

I'm just sayin...

not even lol It's one of those little jersey bags they sell. I had ladies in front of me last year with purses bigger then my over night bag lol AND they were letting in back packs again for some reason. the only clutch bag I own is an evening bag and cost 75 bucks-- I'm NOT taking that to the stadium to get beer dumped on in the stadium.

We are going to end up going to games in our bathing suits if they keep this up-- going to be awfully chilly in Jan.

If I could quote Star Trek, "The needs of the many outweigh the few". They are actually helping you out because we know what happens when girls/women drink a lot of beer - they forget stuff.

 

Now we wouldn't want that to happen to you would we? ;)

I don't buy beer I rent it lol I go to watch a football game and cheer NOT stand in the bathroom line !!!! I refuse to buy the ' NFL logoed' stuff but a friend told me about this cool website that sells clear purses-- I did not realize so many companies required it, learn something new every day

It really rubbed me the wrong way when men came down with these new rules and oh buy the way buy our licensed tote and ZIPLOCK bags. I own enough logo stuff to outfit a small army, but it that edict rubbed me the wrong way. Call it female logic lol

[Purple Nurple]

I've never heard of this so-called "female logic".

The only thing that I can think of that M&T Bank Stadium needs is escalators to the 500 level.  Unfortunately as long as Steve Bisciotti is owner that will never happen.   If the Stadium Authority would have listened to fans like me who have to climb up the steps or ramps up to the 32nd row of the upper level sideline .  If you had them installed, I bet the lines to the elevators would drop about 75%..

Why won't it happen because of Biscotti?

Escalators would be a Stadium Authority call, Biscotti owns the team, not the stadium.

I too would like to know what Steve Biscotti has to do with it.

[GrimCoconut]

Honestly I'm not even being sarcastic here. I'm wondering if there's something I missed. Not sure if Biscotti thinks people need to be less lazy or something or what. Maybe he's sadistic and relishes in the misery of others having to use their legs. I'm not sure here.

[Moderator 2]

I honestly don't remember anything Steve said either

[EricH]

At the end of the day, the best place to enjoy NFL games is either from your couch, or from the bar (like you said!). That's the insight that the marketing execs are missing. Before you give me your high ticket price, I am already disincentivized to go to the game. Food prices are ridiculous (but I understand them), I can't get good replays in the stadium, people around me are more annoying than people at the bar, etc etc. Nevermind the fact that to get to the stadium itself is a process, and to leave is a process. I have to think real hard about staying till the end of the game vs beating traffic.

Really?

[H8R]

The crying about the entry rules are a crying shame. The escalator complaint is more BS.. walk the steps, I know it's hard work...
Next , the people that say watching at a bar is better are fools. My football watching doesn't need to be revolved around getting drunk. I don't drink during games, I only have a few when I tailgate.

[RedFire]

Just put the stadium in the suburbs when the time comes, fix the public transportation system, and get a basketball or hockey team and build up the surrounding area.

No reason the subway and metro system shouldn't be at least on par with DC. A line from Columbia needs to lead to the city 1st and foremost.

Is Walking that hard?

Have you actually been to M&T? Ray Lewis said climbing Mt Everest is easier.

Yes, my Family has season tickets. The ramps nor the steps are that difficult, I'm sorry.

[GrimCoconut]

Yes, my Family has season tickets. The ramps aren't that difficult I'm sorry.

Lol. You don't think so? I'm out of breath with the first step. Can't be a problem with me huh? Blame the ramps not the body.

[K-Dog]

walking is a great way to stay healthy.

Any time there is a stairs / escalator option I choose stairs.

[GrimCoconut]

Yeah. I think those options are a problem. When I park my car I usually always just park away because I want to be closest to the exit and I like the exercise. The exit thing is because I hate to be stuck in traffic. I'll even park on the street if I have to do it. For instance that's what I did when I went to the Annapolis training camp last year. I parked far and walked.

I also like to think if I don't use the escalator or elevator then someone who truly needs it like an old person will make better use of it than I.

[PuRock]

I love going to games for the free exercise.  I usually take the stairs, better exercise and you don't have to lull down the ramps like drunken cattle.

Yeah and I actually find taking the stairs to be faster at both Camden Yards and M&T

lol probably because so few use them. I agree.

Especially since everyone wants to go on the damn elevator or escalator, it can take forever. 

[GrimCoconut]

Yeah. I really think those devices should be used for those who need it. There's no reason you can't put one foot in front of the other. Way too much laziness inthis country. We're very spoiled by convenience.

The elderly, mentally impaired, those with medical illnesses, the disabled, even pregnant women I understand using those devices. It makes me mad when I see healthy people using them.

I'll get off my soap box now.

You can't always tell who has health or physical issues just by looking at them.

I know that hence the stipulation on my part.

[flaccopoe]

Stop, just stop.  We have the one of the youngest, most loved stadiums in football!  M&T will live long and prosper!
