[NU Sports] Tipping Point Near ?

[Arthur Miller]

Roy, there *are* good seats to be had at Camden Yards.  I sat right behind
the visitors dugout a couple summers ago.  Now, the tickets cost me $100
each through StubHub, but for people willing to pay the market price there
will ALWAYS be tix available for ANY event.

Ain't no diversity in the football or basketball stands...

And the problem extends far beyond college sports - you can't get a decent
seat
at Camden Yards because all of the beltway bandits who bought up the season
tickets and now give them to Yankee and Redsox fans AAAAARGH

Ravens seats are out of sight [as are daBears] and I wouldn't pay to see an
NBA
game unless Kuban was going to be tossed.

And I live where you can't get NU games on TV unless you watch on a
computer,
fuzzy picture and all.

I'd rather sit in the press box and watch HS Baseball.
