[NU Sports] Tipping Point Near ?

Alan, the day that happens will be a sad one for American sports.  It's 
already gone that way in pro sports where the number of businesses owning 
season tickets shuts out most fans from good seats.  I personally would not 
pay $250 for any Las Vegas attraction whoever it may be, but there is a 
major difference here.  Most people go to Las Vegas occasionally or only 
once.  Ergo, they are more willing to pay inflated prices because it's a 
once-and-done vacation event.  College football games are another matter. 
Most people sitting in the stands got in on a season or a student ticket. 
Few are there on a once-and-done vacation.  They're regulars.  What's next? 
Making the students pay the same price as everyone else?
