Maybe it's because my high school only played afternoon games in front of a capacity crowd of around 30, but something tells me that this is taking things too far. Marathon High School in Florida has
created skybox seating for its fans. No joke.
As of Wednesday, [Athletic Director Teresa] Konrath had sold eight blue-level packages, which for $500 buys you four season tickets to all Marathon home games (excluding playoffs), as well as sodas and a meal catered by students in the school's new Culinary Arts program.

A silver-level package runs $600 and buys you six seats, while a gold-level package costs $700 for eight seats.
Goodness. First they're on reality TV, now they're erecting skyboxes? What's next? Network television contracts? Alumni booster clubs? Point-shaving scandals? This is just taking things way too far if you ask me.
