    The main reasons I find this article interesting is that I was talking to a friend after the Falcons game about ticket prices for the SB. He asked if I'd ever consider paying that much if the Titans made it. I said hell no, but I would definitely go to Nashville and watch the game in the stadium, even if it cost a little to get in. I felt like that would be an awesome thing to do!

    Then this comes out and kind of killed that dream. This is insanely ridiculous though. They're that worried about 20-30k people in one stadium watching the game? Couldn't they just keep a count of who's there and add them to their ratings?

    Goodell has fumbled issues time after time

    He doesn't want to add another to the list does he?

    I don't think Blank would care about losing the 32nd pick. Means he has a trophy

    Something tells me this has to do with money (shocking, I know). If Blank wanted to do it, I think he could push for it to happen and it would.

    But the Georgia dome is owned by the state of Georgia. The Falcons lease their space there. I doubt Blank cares to push this to happen since he wouldn't get a cut and he'll be in Houston anyways.

    Wow. So you're breaking copyright laws if you have a TV over 55" and watch the Superbowl on it?

    I can see not wanting 50,000+ people at a stadium watching...but as the OP said, take count and add those to the ratings. But I'm guessing it probably goes by TVs tuned in so those 50k+ would only count as however many screens were on in the stadium.
