It worked for the Falcons. And now it may work for the Lions.
Via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press Mike Reilly Jersey , the Lions have slashed food and drink prices at Ford Field, with hot dogs and soda down to $2, and beer and cocktails as low as $3.
Some prices are lower within 60 minutes after doors open at the stadium, “at select locations.” So it’s not quite the same across-the-board reduction that the Falcons employed when opening their new stadium.
Whether this dynamic becomes a trend remains to be seen. Some teams and stadium may be reluctant to surrender the ability to bilk a captive audience. Others may realize that, if prices are cheaper Henrik Lundqvist Jersey Kids , fans will: (1) have a better experience; and (2) buy even more food and drink.
With the blackout rule long gone and the quality of home viewing improving all the time, the goal should be to get people to pay the money to show up. If they don’t also have to pay exorbitant amounts for pink tubes of ground up cow and pig parts that otherwise can’t be sold along with other stuff they could get much cheaper at the local grocery store, it can’t hurt.
Show me a general manager boasting of a perfect track record, and I will show you a liar. With rosters of every NHL franchise constantly changing, there simply is no such thing as perfection among team executives. Quite frankly Patrick Maroon Jersey , it's just too difficult to get the best of every trade, draft choice, free agent contract and transaction that you make in pursuit of helping your team get better.
That being said, it doesn't mean that those regrettable moves don't hurt. In the NHL, deals are instantly dissected and evaluated in an obsessive pursuit to immediately identify winners and losers. That puts additional pressure on even the most minor of moves for the league's current GM's. Just this summer saw the entire league caught up in the frenzy of witnessing the Vegas Golden Knights and GM George McPhee take the other 30 NHL teams hostage in building their roster through the Expansion Draft.
Soon enough Oren Burks Jersey , Vegas will have its share of highs and lows among their transactions, just as every other team does. Probably sooner rather than later, too. You see, while patience can sometimes be a virtue when it comes to properly evaluating moves, the success or failure of most deals is made readily evident not too long after they are agreed upon. In the last decade alone Kenny Clark Jersey , each club has made a transaction that they would ideally like to have back. Ten years can sure bring a lot of bad moves!
