Nothing like moving away from common man

[DKphin]

Did anyone hear about these living rooms they are putting into the stadium? For a cool $75,000, you can buy a package of four seats in the lower bowl. Gee, thanks. I thought Ross wanted to bring people back to the games rather than distancing himself from the average fan. Just another example of what is wrong with this team and the owner.

The Red Carpet, celebrity owners, stupid new logo, and now this. I get there are some very well to do people in South Fla. Stadiums have always had Luxury boxes. But these Luxury "seats" for $75,000 just really separate people . To be fair though , I don't think Its Ross that's the problem . Welcome to Professional sports in 2015. :idk:

Some people will bitch about anything and everything.

Look what the Yankees did w their new stadium. Welcome to today's over-commercialized world of pro sports!

I just have no idea why anyone would pay 75k to watch the game on a small tv...

I'm sure my living room at home is better than driving 4 hours to pay someone else to sit in theirs. Maybe we should all rent out couch space. Ridiculous but whatever people can waste their money how they choose.

Installing those luxury seats will ensure the common man can still get his upper deck seats for $50.

Oh, you think this is unique to Ross and the Miami Dolphins? Guess again, that is the trend with all majlr professional sports venues

How does this effect the "common man"?

The Dolphins have a very affordable ticket. I have no issue with what they are attempting to do with the new seating.

The business end of the team with Tom Garfinkel is in good hands.

Ancient Rome, here we come! Do the seats come with cheerleaders that feed you grapes while you watch the game?

Are you not entertained??

It's to watch the replays and major plays from the other games. I attended all home games this past season but felt insufficiently informed about what was happening elsewhere. It is interesting when a contentious call is under review, one can make a pretty objective call watching the TV from home, but I'm far less certain when at the game.

Also, fans should be thankful that Ross didn't opt for the $20,000 PSL's like some teams are doing now.

Garfinkel said he expects to sell all these seats and have a waiting list. The new seats are not meant to suggest that one group of fans is more important than another, Garfinkel said; it's just the way the team will make back the money for the stadium's renovations, which are privately funded.

"We have 17,000 tickets that are under $50, and they'll stay that way," Garfinkel said. "We're not going to attach $20,000 PSLs to the upper bowl. So the way we'll make money back is through scarcity of this luxury seating product. People think about the airplanes jamming people in to make the most money possible. We're going the other way."

We have had season tickets to the Dallas Stars AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars for 6 years and love it, personally I don't ever see me having season tickets to a major league pro team, I'm simply not willing to dish out that kind of money. High level minor league stuff is a great value, in my case we see about 75% of the NHL players before they are NHL, triple "A" baseball is somewhat the same. Besides I'm one of those who would actually rather watch the NFL on TV, maybe go to a game now and then.

I'm pretty sure the games in Rome were free. They were devised to pacify the people.
