Except if they move it to London, they will NOT get that economic benefit the same way they would in the USA .

I don't expect either an expansion team or a Super Bowl in London, but pretty sure nobody here can gauge any changes in the economic impact an event watched by over 100m people brings to a city. It will be a big deal no matter where it is at, there are just a myriad of other reasons it should stay in the states.
I would gladly guy $100 for our family of three to have premium seats to a NFL game: 3 premium tickets @ $20, parking @ $10, hot dog, soft drink and snack @ $10 x 3 = $30. If Goodell does this he will fill the stands. 
I like the waiting list for the Eagles, 4,000 years. My Steelers are third with 50 years.
I'm a MLB tigers season ticket holder and attend 80% of the home games. The only games I do not attend are Sunday 1pm games and Thursday 1 pm games.
12noon NFL Sunday games are even worse due to the fact I have to get there even earlier than an MLB game.
Sundays don't work for me, where as a baseball game after work does.
Besides that, the lions still suck.
Also you need to factor in basketball and hockey, where as those sports don't compete with the MLB for fans during the summer.

Having a mediocre product, and ticket prices, and all the other associated costs with going to games is what is affecting ticket sales. The cost of a family of four to attend one game per year is north of $250 dollars not including travel, parking and food. Most people can't afford this.

Well if you're a Chiefs fan it's worse than mediocre, but the Broncos have been mediocre the last 5 years or more.................

Good luck with that!
OUR SEASON TICKETS $65 EACH. 10 rows from the top of the stadium and then $6.00 beer, $5.75 soda, $4 pretzel, $5 hot chocolate for those cold games. Parking - $25 and up. We take light rail and that's still $8 r/t each.
That's why the seats are empty...it's too expensive, which is another reason why I love College Football and others love High School Football. Other factors include local (HDTV) coverage, but that's been the case for the past 50+ years...the picture is just a little nicer. So what is Goodell's solution? Downrez or provide only watered-down SD feeds like Dish Network? That's never gonna happen. People are hurting, the average household incomes in down, and they aren't going to splurge hundreds of dollars to attend a football game. Plus, why does Goodnell seemed surprised given the long-term downturn in the economy? What a turd to blame HDTV. He needs to cut players salaries and expect lower profits.
Where does it say he is surprised?
They are working to improve the in-stadium experience.

On a positive note, I am once again being inundated with free tickets to the Washington Bullets...er, I man Wizards. I'll pass...I'm not much of an NBA fan these days, and it's not worth my time and effort to watch one of these snoozefests. I love to see Costco take ownership of a team so members can enjoy $1.50 hotdogs w/drink and $1.99 slices of pizza.
Not really, it's to compete with the HD + information at your fingerprints in-home experience. So many people spend Sundays watching more than one game at a time, monitoring fantasy teams, etc. That is their competition, and the point if the original article.
The venom and pessimism in this thread is a bit over the top.

And our COSTCO membership goes up to $ 150 a year ?
