Pity Poor John Mara; $750 Million for Seat Licenses


Peter King, America's most successful NFL reporter, wrote something ridiculous -- but not surprising -- about Giants owner John Mara in this week's Monday Morning Quarterback column on SI.com.

King noted that Mara is planning to force Giants season ticket holders to pay thousands of dollars for personal seat licenses if they want to keep their season tickets when the Giants move into a new stadium in two years. And in the process he made Mara sound like a martyr.

King wrote, "I feel for one owner here -- John Mara of the Giants." And he then proceeded to describe how he knows that Mara "is sick about what he knows he's going to have to do": Charge what King estimates will be an average of $25,000 per fan to at least 30,000 fans to buy personal seat licenses at the Giants' new stadium.

Re: Pity Poor John Mara; $750 Million for Seat Licenses

This is why I just watch the games on TV with friends. This way I get halftime reports and breaking plays in other games. Just not worth it in any way to go see an NFL game. Lucky each team has only 8 home games to sellout with these prices!!

I agree. I've been to a couple, but with all the extra charges and the high cost of tickets... there are better ways to spend money.
