Does this mean bratwurst will be served at Vikings games?

But the economy has been stimulated, Alan

I'm just curious over the football season if we'll see a little what's been going on in the MLB attendance wise. I have a feeling, even though there are only 10% as many home games as MLB, that there will be a lot of blackouts due to low attendance. (And just for the craptacular teams)

I do have a little more faith in Goodell (than in Selig if there were such a situation in baseball) that many of the stipulations on blackouts may be softened. Roger seems to have a more grasp on reality than Selig.

Actually, this situation is a far cry from the ridiculous Lerner lease or the ridiculous Jacobs lease or the ridiculous Dolan lease or the ridiculous Gund lease or the ridiculous Gilbert lease. Follow the money. No NFL franchise owner is getting bloody rich from this, and certainly not on wieners, suds and peanuts. Lease bullet points start on page two:

Not to mention all of the concessions those ticket holders will purchase, at even greater markups than the game tickets.

Two days take: $3-million.

Farve's salary: $10 to $12-million.

Farve's interceptions killing any hopes of a Vikings playoff: PRICELESS.
