And that is how MOST millionaires get there. They are PRUDENT. Go ahead and make wisecracks all day when people are 'tight'. Clark Howard has more money than you'll probably ever see. This type of carefree morals with money is why most Americans are up to their eyeballs in credit card debt. Yes, I've clipped coupons, yes I've saved both plastic and glass jars for whatever. While, I haven't hit the 'needy box' at church for my kids clothes, however, I have shopped at the thrift store from time to time. While not a millionaire yet, I have a plan. And the plan doesn't include willy nilly wasteful spending. I do have season tickets. They are not in the premium seats, but not the cheap seats either; but ones that fit my budget.
My issue with these 'things' are most of them appear to be simply rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Want to enhance my experience with food options at the stadium - give me choices! And good ones on top of that. If I want cheaper fare, have it available. If I want to drop $40 for food, I expect it to be worth $40. It's that simple really. And, as someone earlier had mentioned, there was a time when a large number of fans did bring Varsity into the stadium. "Have your order in mind so we can get you to the game on time". There's a reason that saying is posted in the V. Secondly, I understand the desire to help programs raise money; so we have the Duluth band working concessions. I get that. But when you have crowds the size of a college football game, that needs to change. These people are not trained to move folks fast. Hire trained staff to operate the cashier point and let the groups work the back side. Again, it's not that hard really.
Overall I'm disappointed in these 'enhancements'. Had I known this was coming out, I would have taken the time to hear directly from Todd at the Jack Thompson event last week and gotten his side.
