NFL Preason Games Suck

Sucks even more as a season ticket holder. As a Jets STHer, I have to pay $250 ($125 x 2) for these meaningless games. Having to pay regular season prices for exhibition games is consistently the biggest gripe of all NFL STHers.
Years ago, in the early 90's, I used to DJ a massive tailgate for the Giants/Jets exhibition game for a group called the Wanaque Jaycees. They'd buy a whole section of the stadium for their fundraiser. However, when the Jets/Giants started requiring their season ticket holders to buy the preseason tickets, that killed that. It's really just a money grab.

I know, wrong thread...but COLLEGE FOOTBALL >>>> the thugFL! I would gladly watch RU play ANY B1G team than the Giants and the Cowgirls...no joke...there is nothing like the atmosphere of a college game and having been to Giants games, they can't even touch RU on gameday...

Which to the NFL is like saying that there's really no reason for oxygen, other than breathing.

Don't forget about the cost of the PSL for the two seats. I dropped my 6 LL Jets seats when they told me I needed 6 PSL's to retain my right to continue purchasing the seats I owned for 15 years. They wanted $ 36K for them, plus the cost of the season tix. The last I looked the resell price to buy a Jets PSL is 50% of the original selling price.
Actually, it's worse. I have two PSLs (me and my brother) on my account. They cost $4,000 each. If we were to sell 'em today we'd only get $800 each (not even 1/4 of what we paid for them). Good thing we have no interest in unloading them. We've had Jets season tickets since 1987.
What they should do is call a spade a spade and charge people for 8 games the same amount they would for the 10 games and make the preseason games completely open to the public on a general admission basis. Would introduce fans who would not otherwise be able to afford attending an NFL game a way to experience the NFL. Of course this will never happen because $$$$.
I find Golf more enjoyable to watch than preseason NFL. I agree with Goodell to hold players accountable for off field actions, but "no fun league" policies and handcuffing defenses with new rules (good job player lawsuits) are killing the buzz the new season use to give me.
I have to agree. The only reason to watch is to see some of the RU guys who are free agents trying to make the team. Other than that, it's some pretty awful football. I'd rather stick to baseball or watch the Canadians go into illegal motion on every play.
