  • Iconoclast25, on 12/29/2007, -3/+19Well, we only need 20 people willing to fork over $1306 each . . . .

    Nah, the beer is just as tasty and far less expensive right here.
    • LLamaStar, on 12/29/2007, -3/+3yeah it's really not that expensive if you fill it up with friends who pay.
    • bobdigi, on 12/29/2007, -2/+1"Nah, the beer is just as tasty and far less expensive right here."

      Yea but, theres a bathroom RIGHT HERE in the same room.
  • isiah1, on 01/03/2008, -19/+27Who would spend this kind of money to watch a cheating coach versus a bitch quarterback who pouted like a 6 year old girl on draft day?
    • dolemite5005, on 12/29/2007, -8/+6I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately your comment with be dugg down into oblivion once all the Diggers from Boston see it.
      • isiah1, on 01/03/2008, -15/+2I'd rather pay to watch two faggits die of aids than to give any money to either of these organizations
    • edicttree, on 12/29/2007, -1/+5This isn't honestly very much. I watched a Dolphins game recently in a skybox at Dolphin Stadium, and the owner of the skybox said he was offered 325k by a Chicago business to have the box for the super bowl last year. A year lease on those skyboxes is around 100k for 8 games, so 26k for a game (that is potentially historic) is only about twice as much than a skybox to see the historically bad Miami Dolphins.
      I wouldn't do it, but some people have that kinda cash to throw around, so why not. :)
      • MoeWasHere, on 12/29/2007, -2/+2"...for the SuperBowl." Umm duhh - this is a meaningless game that neither team needs to win.
        It's just that there is that much hype around this game that a normally empty stadium for a contest like this is fetching over $26k when it would have been empty anyway.
        • dsunshine1, on 12/29/2007, -0/+2a 24 person luxery box for the US Open (all sessions) costs 1 million
  • metaknite, on 12/29/2007, -10/+9Come on Little Eli. Channel the spirit of your brother.
  • bigbuctuck, on 12/29/2007, -6/+5Fiesta Bowl 18 person luxary suite is $35,003 on stubhub.com that is crazy
  • HimThatSpeaks, on 12/29/2007, -6/+8Not much compared to the $40,000 hot dogs and the $27,000 sodas.
  • Joomal, on 12/29/2007, -2/+14how is $1200 per person crazy? If you want a front row seat in the Air Canada Center to watch the Toronto Maple Leafs, it's like $500/ticket and thats normal price! I couldn't imagine what box seats go for in the ACC.
    • mooseontheloose, on 12/29/2007, -11/+2yeah but thats canadian dollars which is like $50 us
      • ice101a, on 12/29/2007, -2/+10You haven't been paying much attention to the market lately, have you?
  • jjhack, on 12/29/2007, -3/+5Only $26k. I would think they would fetch more than that.
  • Zlorp, on 12/29/2007, -4/+4when you split it 20 ways its not THAT unreasonable.
    • Daniel591992, on 12/29/2007, -1/+1Yeah. The hard part? Finding 20 people willing to pay.
    • zenmasher, on 12/29/2007, -0/+1Um...you are not from NY. People regularly pay $3000 for rent here. Not poor people. No we only pay $1500 for a one bedroom. There are a LOT of rich people here.
  • MikeonTV, on 12/29/2007, -10/+4Why is it that everyone is citing the Patriots as being the first to make it a perfect season? The '72 Dolphins did it an then one the Superbowl! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miami_Dolphins#1970s
    • isiah1, on 01/03/2008, -5/+7WON the Superbowl dumbass
      • Niallgriff, on 12/29/2007, -1/+6and the season was only 14 games then. Nobody is saying the Pats are tying to be the first undefeated team, they are however, trying to be the first 16-0 team.
      • dakilla91, on 12/29/2007, -4/+3Jeez man...cool it
    • Zlorp, on 12/29/2007, -2/+3when they did that though there were only 14 regular season games
    • skyshock1, on 12/29/2007, -1/+9It was a 14 game season. They play 16 games now. A perfect season hasn't been accomplished since the addition of the two extra games.
      • MikeMigs, on 12/29/2007, -1/+3and since free agency...
        its much more difficult to keep teams together... Patriots will likely lose Asante next season =(
  • blackanode, on 12/29/2007, -7/+2People must be legally insane to fork over that much money for sports.
  • skyshock1, on 12/29/2007, -7/+2It's really a damn shame that the NFL network is the only network that's going to carry this game. Hardly any cable provider offers this as part of their standard packages. And I'm sure as HELL not going to fork over the extra $90 a month just for the package that happens to contain that ONE channel.

    ***** you, NFL network, ***** you.
    • isiah1, on 01/03/2008, -2/+7OK dumbass, it is going to be played on CBS & NBC.

      My God, Digg is full of dumbasses tonight!
    • Zlorp, on 12/29/2007, -3/+1they're broadcasting it on regular networks. but yes the NFL network is GARBAGE. i work for Suddenlink cable. we have 1.4 million customers and the NFL wants to charge us 100 million a year for their network. we would have to offer it as a premium station at a retarded price to be able to carry it at all.
  • ThePerkins, on 12/29/2007, -6/+0First team ever? Uhhhh.....
  • xkrwlng, on 12/29/2007, -4/+1financial darwinism at its best.
  • Rabbittt, on 12/29/2007, -3/+7GO GIANTS!!
  • JasonCox, on 12/29/2007, -2/+5I cant be the only one who thinks of Family Guy every time I hear about the Pats...
  • whatthefu, on 12/29/2007, -4/+4Wouldn't it be funny if the Patriots lost?
  • popothebright, on 12/29/2007, -4/+2Why is this news? The price seems reasonable: $1300 per person, or so. Dugg down for being blah.
  • lazyfisherman, on 12/29/2007, -2/+220 people, that's nothing for a corporate event..
    • frankie645, on 12/29/2007, -1/+0Agreed! $26K for a luxury suite is nothing for as big as they're making this game out to be. Thought it'd be a lot more. Sure, the Pats have a few chances to make history - so what?! THIS ISN'T THE SUPERBOWL, folks. Save your dough.
  • ZiggityZhang, on 12/29/2007, -3/+2A 20-person luxury suite is even up for grabs on StubHub. Got $26,114 sitting around? (That's $1,305.70 per person).

    Talk about a sour suite deal.

    ZING!!
  • Phigg, on 12/29/2007, -6/+1$500 Canadian for a Leafs ticket is like $5 American right?
  • Gndoab, on 12/29/2007, -4/+2The description is inaccurate. The 1972 Miami Dolphins have also had an undefeated season.
    • kuvopolis, on 12/29/2007, -0/+0The description says "perfect 16-0 season". The '72 Dolphins went 14-0.
  • MoeWasHere, on 12/29/2007, -3/+2GO GIANTS!!!
    (I can't believe i have Cowboy fans pulling me aside telling me they are rooting for the Gmen)
  • Zacktopia, on 12/29/2007, -2/+1Is this a drinking thread? If so, a couple of you guys are not holding your beer very well.
  • Goldbricker, on 12/29/2007, -1/+1That's ***** retarded. Imagine the kind of party you could throw for that kind of loot. Forget about going to the game.
  • zenmasher, on 12/29/2007, -1/+1I am really surprised by these comments. Where are you all writing from? Average bonuses for wall street guys are $200k. And there are a lot of ***** average guys here (and girls). And there are a loooooooot of folks who are above average. People pay three times the per person amount in rent each month for not great buildings. I thought it was insane when I first moved to NY...now I am a bit numb to it all.
  • ishnupu, on 12/29/2007, -3/+1I'm pretty sure that the dolphins went 16-0 one year so this wouldn't be the first time for an nfl team
    • KaJuN4, on 12/29/2007, -1/+2I think the Dolphins record included the postseason. If the Patriots win they'll be the first team to go 16-0 during the regular season. But it's completely irrelevant since the Patriots already blew a game but the officials let them win it anyway. The 2007 New England Patriots regular season record: 16-0*
  • RhodesSkolar, on 12/29/2007, -0/+1Wow! Wouldn't it be wonderful if the money went to a charity instead?
  • Error601, on 12/29/2007, -1/+1That's a bit on the pricey side but not ridiculous for a schmoozing budget. Blowing 30 grand and come out with a multi-million dollar deal to grow your business is money well spent. Mass marketing would eat that up in minutes of a air time.
