Shutdown Corner - NFL

Update: In the post below, we link to a story from the Lincoln Journal World's Web site that contained a number of inaccuracies.

According to the Cowboys, the 20-inch pizzas at the new stadium will cost $60, not $90 as reported. (That's the same price they were in the suites at Texas Stadium.) There will be five different types of pizza available for that price. Beer will be sold for $5.

The suites themselves will range from $100,000 to $500,000 per year. That lease will include tickets to Cowboys games, but not third-party events.

The colossal new Dallas Cowboys Stadium is living proof that everything is bigger in Texas. The menu in the luxury suites proves that things there are more expensive too.

Those enjoying a Cowboys game from a luxury suite at the new stadium will have to shell out $90 for pizza and $66 for a 12-pack of domestic beer, reports Steven Sipple of the Lincoln Journal World. Ninety bucks for pizza? That's almost as much of a rip-off as Roy Williams

It costs $800,000 per year to lease one of those luxury suites, a hefty sum that doesn't include game tickets. On the bright side, the stadium's official Web site says that "having your company's name on a suite makes an important statement about your success" and can help make an impression on clients. (Namely that they're paying you way too much money.)

As for the $90 pizza, that's the cost for a plain pizza. No word on how much each topping costs but, suffice it to say, if you're a fan of pepperoni you may want to consider refinancing your mortgage before you head down to watch the Cowboys.

    The cost of all sports is getting out of hand especially with this sorry economy. Average working people cannot afford the cost of a game let alone the food.

    THis is the sad thing about our country. There are people so rich they will pay $90 for a pizza. Eventually this has to stop! Us average people will have to just say no to going to the game. Plus they act like they have this winning team or something. THey suck and have sucked for over 10 years now1

    $66 for a 12 pack isnt bad. Thats $5.50 a beer. Much better than the $8 beer that I pay. However the pizza is outrageous and the lease on the suite without tickets is ludacriss. Lol.

    $66 for a twelve pack... that's $5.50 per beer. That's not far under what some 6-packs cost. Holy crap.

    @ Draftmaster.....takes me back to when Chappelle Show was the best thing on tv. Great comment. On to the article.....this is ridiculus. I wonder if Bank of America or Freddie Mac or ING or some other company will have a suite?

    How about Obama's United States Car Company Suite. Now that would "make an important statement about [the USA's] success"

    I bet its Pabst Blue Ribbon too where you can get a 12 pack for $6.25 here. I cant talk since my Yanks opened a new park and my Giants will in 2010 and i am not even mentioning my Rangers and smelly Knicks on how much it is to go to MSG.No matter where it is its just too expensive to go to any major sporting event anymore,unless you sit a mile away.
    I will continue to watch them on my tv with my 12.99 12 pack of Heineken.
