The locals for the most part aren't paying for it so that's easy for them to get behind.
I agree on the stadium thing, it's gotten out of control and getting so expensive to go to a game that the NFL has declining attendance but they don't give a rats azz because profits are up.
I expect the pattern to continue too, and I think before too long the games will be pay per view, and I've been saying that for awhile now but with so many smart TV's out there is gonna happen.
