It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I actually agree with your post very much but I am in the upper 300s and I can afford this if I want to. The only reason I'm saying that is because I can't be that rare.I agree with just about everyone on this - terrible idea. I've yet to find someone that doesn't get paid by the Kraft family explain to me why this is a good idea.
And....I honestly think this is a terrible business decision. I understand and fully support expanding the lighthouse bridge and expanding the "party deck" out that way. Makes complete sense. I also understand, but don't completely agree with, the amount of Putnam club seats. The Putnam club is a great way for rich people to do rich people things. But - what non-Putnam club member would want to buy this "membership"?
A. It's ridiculously expensive (I love how you have to buy two "membership" passes).
B. The majority of season ticket holders are not the fair weather type. Unless your up in top rows of the 300's, why would you want to leave YOUR seats? (plus, chances are if your in the 300s, you wont be able to foot the bill for the "membership").
Just unreal that the Krafts can be this tone deaf.
Will they be serving whine and cheese down there? Wouldn't mind being a visiting offense backed up in that endzone.
No, they don't. They could improve parking and make it cheaper. They could put in better seating. They could lower prices across the board. Those are all perfectly valid avenues to be explored, and there are plenty of others.
The problem is that none of them would make the team more money, and Kraft is about the money as much as any owner in the NFL.
What world do you live in? Why should Kraft slash prices he has a waiting list a decade long. People will buy this and it will put some more money in his pocket how evil of him.
I don't like the corporate atmosphere at Gillette any more than you just being realistic.
Nobody ever said football is the root of all evil.I live in the world where I was pointing out the problem with your claim, while acknowledging what you just posted.
As to whether or not it's evil, I'll leave that for religious threads.

He'll they could hand out stacks of $100 bills to everyone as they leave the stadium until all of the profits are gone.No, they don't. They could improve parking and make it cheaper.

Not every business seeks to maximize profits. The Krafts own one the richest franchises in the NFL. They don't need the money. They are prioritizing additional profits ahead of the enjoyment of more ordinary fans. They have every right to do so. We have every right to criticize their pecuniary selfishness.He'll they could hand out stacks of $100 bills to everyone as they leave the stadium until all of the profits are gone.
Oh wait, they are a business and there purpose in existing is to make money not give things away for less than people are standing in line to pay.
Nevermind.
That's the point. Watching the game from this "lounge" will be secondary to chatting, eating, drinking and fiddling with smartphones. All for the displacement of REAL fans who would be glued to their seats cheering and yelling.And who the hell would want to watch the game from field level end zone? I watched Pats/Jets 2011 from row 11 in the EZ and hated it...no good view of what's going on.
Any news on the long talked about 400 level? If they built that along with this goofy club thing, it might not be so bad.
