"If you people up around DC would get off our backs riding the government mule-we'd sure like to spend some more of our money!" :tongue:
I don't work for the Government, well I take that back, the first 4 months of the year I do...then I might have some money to spent the rest of the year, but I usually have to share that with the state of Maryland..so like you, I could use a little more of my's back too. Now for those who like always take everything so personal, I started this threat because I couldn't believe the price of a season ticket, base on what we have to pay here in the DC area for the redskins...you are starting at about 800 and that's not the entire season or seats in timbutoo. So when I saw you can buy season tickets for 260 - 580 bucks there...I was in shock..I thought they cost more. For cost of living, it realitive. it equal out base on where you live..but people here on minium wages couldn't afford the skins game..some only make 6 a hour. When I come come, and see all the big homes, the cars, the material things, I know there's more money down there than what a lot of you complaint about..there's enough people in S. Fla to fill that stadium, seven times over, I've seen that for my self..You must understand, when I was a kid growing up, Weston, where Marino lives was the everglads, I come home now and see all that area built up, and still all the space I remember growing up in taken too. So I know there's a lot of people there. Sawgrass Mall area were the swarms also when I was a kid and look at all the houses there now, From there to the beach, from Key west up to almost Daytona is packed with people..People that's a lot of people, and the home prices there almost compare with here..I know, I'm building a home here and while I was visiting my mother there, I checked on the home prices there. As a matter of fact the plan I'm building from is a Floridian plan. So don't use income as an excuse. For some of you who do make minium wages, I definetly understand..I'm really not speaking to your group, I'm referring to the countless Houndred thousandaires and Millionaire that are in S. FLa, and baby, there's a lot. So please don't always read a post as a personal thing, you know what you can afford and what you can't..as I stated the price was just surprising based on what I know we pay here. Heck, even the Wizzards season tickets cost more and they in no way have the name, that the Phins have in sports.. So relax, take your shoes off, and enjoy. If this thread doesn't pertain to you, go have a beer. If you can afford the tickets then please rivial the Bills fans who come in snow, blitzers, rains, sleek, and whatever else, to include not having good seasons, to fill their stands...I know, I know, most of you will say they don't have any other sports or entertainment...that's not exactly true..but they support what they do have.
