Hey, there's no getting around the fact that many of these new stadiums/arenas are really cool places, with decent (and wildly expensive) food and drink and other amenities.
But this...naked cash grab seems like a good way to piss off actual season ticket holders, who would presumably have to deal with the added traffic, larger lines (for food, drink, and bathrooms), and generally more crowded atmosphere that the above kind of program will engender.
For those who give a shit about sportsball (I know many do not), do you think the above program is a kind of slap in the face to season ticket holders and even to people who purchase single game tickets at jacked up prices? I do.
The Golden State Warriors have just the deal for basketball fans who love going to stadiums to eat the food and wander the hallways without actually seeing any of the game in person.
According to Darren Rovell of ESPN.com, the Warriors are offering a monthly "In The Building Pass" to Oracle Arena. For $100 a month, fans can purchase the pass that provides access to Oracle Arena and the bars and restaurants inside. However, those fans will not have access to a seat and won't be able to view the actual court.
Those fans will be eligible to receive any promotional giveaways for the given game but will have to watch the action on the televisions in the stadium.
