Mariners have one in Seattle. Arthur Ashe for the US Open is also retractable in NYC.

I think it only makes sense to have a retractable roof for baseball since you actually close it for bad weather. And if you don’t close it for say football games, why bother in the first place.

You retract it for game day, and only game day and then close it off for everything else. That way Elton John can tear it up when it's 0 degrees out nd you can have a snow game.

They must be taking the tickets at face value, there's no way you can get four tickets for $586. I've been trying to snap up tickets for the Cowboys game in November and $586 will probably get me *two* tickets.

Lions sound like a good deal though.

I haven't parked in a yard for anything under $40 in years. gently caress the preseason game I went to cost me $50 to park in a yard.

Maybe you can get on a lawn for $20 miles away.

Cold games suck. Also if Chicago wants a super bowl they're going to have to build a dome.

The suburbs northeast of the field aren't too expensive -- unless prices went up a lot recently. There's a pretty clear gradient from $15 going up to about $40-50 next to Lombardi.

Well those are off for Miami now. Two tickets to patriots dolphins in a decent section was $625 alone. Parking in a lot maybe 1 mile away Is $40.

4 tickets in the cheapest seats they have would run you $875

Last time I went to a Lions game (last year) the ticket was $50 for a decent seat and I found free parking within eyesight of he stadium.

It also happened to be the game against the Eagles so I definitely got what I paid for.

Okay just confirmed if I wanted to go to the cheapest game of the season - the jets lmao - and you parked at a private lot of someone’s house for $20 - you can take a family of 4 for 660 total. No beers.

That’s insanity. It must be unbelievably expensive at a big time stadium like Gillette
