I've turned down free tickets to the dome because it was too cold out and/or I just didn't want to put in the effort of getting down there, paying $15 for a beer (or whatever it is) and quite honestly be a little bit bored because the game is essentially meaningless and the dome atmosphere is mediocre. Playoffs are a different story, obviously. But a mid-season game in the middle of a cold snap? Nah.

That's going to be the bottom line when all is said and done. They maximized short term revenue and in the process priced out the people who actually cared enough to spend their own money watching games.
