The NEW Bills Stadium and the NEW Las Vegas

You’re describing literally every big business there is, it’s not just a Bills/Las Vegas thing. I’m honestly trying to think of something popular now (or even a necessity like flying) that hasn’t priced out the average American/family. I just read today that it now costs an average of $4000-$10,000 for a family of 4 to go to Disney for 5 days 

As someone who is a family of 5 doing their first ever vacation and it's to Disney next year, I can confirm.

And we're going 5 days, but parks only for 3 - and park day passes are by far the most expensive part of the trip.

It's not hard to observe the Corporate strategies at these two destinations.

 

Las Vegas isn't about cheap food, inexpensive drinks and living like a king for a few days of gambling anymore.  With $16 Budweiser's, resort fees higher than room rates and $150 buffets the 'average' tourist is being priced out.  The Corporations that run Las Vegas are making higher profits with less people coming to town.  The wealthy and high rollers are  now their target guests.

 

It seems to me the Bills are using the same strategy with the new stadium.  Fewer seats, seat licenses and much higher ticket prices are making it difficult for the 'average' fan to attend a game.  The people that filled the 80,000 seats in Rich Stadium and now 70,000 seats are being left out.  They aren't needed anymore!  The Bills will make more profit with fewer fans to deal with.

 

I think we'll miss the days of raucous, crazy fans cheering on the Bills!

I'm hoping they come up with a parking lot party area to watch games outside the stadium. Get creative with it, charge some to get in, make it a fun experience for those who can't afford to go in the stadium but still want to enjoy the gameday atmosphere with fellow Bills fans. Make it big enough to hold a couple thousand fans. Maybe have some similarities of being in stadium with bleachers and standing areas.

Standard corporate greed methodology, nuthin new there,

Which is why I'm so vehemently opposed to tax dollars for stadiums and corporate tax breaks.
