Yep, they were. No value assigned to teenagers being able to afford to watch from a decent seat or families not having to pay $150+ to bring their kids out that could easily turn into the next generation of fans?

Nope, who cares, just maximize!! Simple business! And they can easily afford it, look at these seats! All they have to do is pay $120 for four, sit too far away to see anything and not buy anything to eat or drink!!!!

Terrific post.
