That's awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I've toured Turner Field and the new Yankee Stadium, but never an NFL facility. I need to see if Mercedes Benz Stadium offers tours.....
Jags have signed Tim Tebow to a 1 year contract to play TE. Urban Meyers (Tebow's old coach) bought a house on Tebow's street. Tweet— Twitter API (@user) date
He won't make the cut as a player. Let me rephrase, he won't make the 53 man roster on opening day as a player.
So the schedule is out and Tom Brady plays the Pats in week 4 on a Sunday night (NBC) game. Purely coincidentally, and this is just a coincidence, Drew Brees will be an analyst and Tom will likely break Drew's all time passing yards record in that game. What a coincidence that NBC got the game and that it was scheduled on week 4 when it is probable that Tom (79,204 yds.) is within striking distance of Drew (80,358 yds.). The NFL and NBC could not have planned it any better, and yet it was purely a coincidence. Did I mention this is quite a coincidence?
That's gonna be a great event. Hopefully, a great game too. Anyone taking bets on whether TB12 and Belly hug before the game! T
You think he could mount a comeback after all the time off he's had? That'd be unprecedented unless I'm forgetting someone. Closest thing might be guys who took off multiple years for WW2. I can only recall Ted Williams coming back to any semblance of his former glory. T
Why? He's a terrible QB. He's tried out and teams have rejected him. His record with the 49's was abysmal.
Is it just me or does anyone else hate this 17 game schedule? I understand they have to add more games so that the owners can add to their billions (the poor guys must have lost their shirt last year ), but then go to 18 games so it is even.
17 is a prime number. I'm not a fan of prime numbers! Reduce pre-season to 1 or 2 games, play 18. I didn't see, Paul, did they add a second bye week? T
https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/raiders/raiders-tickets-at-allegiant-most-in-demand-in-nfl-2353433/ Raiders’ tickets at Allegiant most in-demand in NFL Six of the 10 most in-demand NFL games, including four of the top five, involve the Raiders at Allegiant Stadium, according to VividSeats, which tracks secondary market prices. Of the top five, only Tom Brady’s return to New England with his Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which is No. 1 with an average ticket price of $1,376, eclipses four Raiders home games. The Raiders’ season opener versus the Baltimore Ravens is No. 2 at $944. The Week 10 game against division rival Kansas City Chiefs is No. 3 at $823. The Week 7 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles is N0. 4 at $673, and the Week 5 game against the Chicago Bears at $654 rounds out the top five. A Week 3 game versus the Miami Dolphins ranked seventh, and a meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 18 was ninth, with an average ticket price of $600 for Miami and $503 for L.A.
They should find out how many of those fans are coming up from the L.A. area, and how many are coming from Oakland and the Bay area!
About 40% of the season ticket sales were from CA (North and South). 50% were from Nevada and the rest from Utah and Arizona. There are a lot of Raider fans in San Diego as well as LA. Its not much farther of a drive and a lot of low cost airfares from any of them. The Raiders in LA are more popular than the Chargers and San Diego fans have never forgiven the team leaving for LA. Oakland is mad too but the Raiders have left before.
Last season (albeit it was never played) was completely sold out. This year is completely sold out. How many NFL franchises can say that? There are some, but not all. That is why the secondary sales market is so hot. Everything is sold out.
