  1. Eagles fan reporting his prices are going up, despite one of the "additional" home games for them this year being in Brazil: https://www.crossingbroad.com/2024/03/eagles-season-ticket-holder-with-six-seats-says-theyre-paying-500-more-for-one-fewer-game-in-2024.html
  2. Wasn't sure where to put this, but this clip from Ben Shapiro yesterday is getting a lot of attention: I thought for most people these days, Medicare was 65, but full SS benefits are at 67, and you can start collecting and receive less as early as 62 and max out if you wait until 70. Shapiro seems all over the place. If you want to make the case of raising the age for full SS, fine...although I'm not sure what that age is. It's also true that there are people who don't deal with retirement well from the sense of purpose angle. But Shapiro brings up Biden so much in this clip alone that it seems like his purpose is just to highlight "how old Joe is."
  3. I read Nancy Mace is going to be on Maher's show this week. While I think Bill will likely avoid the rape topic after what happened Sunday, I would like for him to ask her why, when she indicated after 1/6 that Trump shouldn't be allowed to hold office again, that she at least couldn't bring herself to endorse Haley or DeSantis, instead of backing Trump in late Jan. Not that I expect an honest answer.
  4. True that the problem has been kicked down the road. The laws we have seem somewhat squishy, and efforts various presidents have made seem to encounter resistance from the judicial system. However, the one metric regarding border encounters has really shot up under Biden after staying fairly constant under Obama and Trump. I'm not sure why that is. PeterMP had some thoughts about it in the immigration thread.
  5. People who think Biden was yelling....what do they think Trump does at any of his events?
  6. John Podhoretz, a conservative who is fairly anti-Trump, tweeted that Dems who have been in panic mode for the past three weeks, should feel a lot better after tonight. I still think Trump will win because I feel there's still a lot of doubt over whether Joe can make it through a second term, and thus Trump is somewhat running against Harris who, fairly or not, is not perceived well. I didn't watch tonight, but it's always pissed me off when people disparage Joe's capacity to such an extreme degree. The guy has lost his fastball, but can still bring it at big occasions. I think peeps who think Trump could crush him in debates have a lot to think about, and those could make a difference.
  7. Yeah the club level capacity was built too big to begin with, and got exacerbated when the dream seats were installed in 2004 and had access to the club concourse. On the flip side, especially after the RG3 flameout, I think a lot of folks decided not to renew their club seats, particularly with the prices that were bring charged, and it led to a real lack of energy there in the seating bowl during the game. I think you're only going to arrive at a happier medium with a smaller (10k seat max) club at the new stadium.
  8. Yeah, can't understand the logic of Micki Stout in Cali's post. She sounds like a dyed on the wool Republican, but if you're using language (like Bill Barr) implying that Trump is unfit for the office, you don't vote for him. Period. Even if you're not going to vote for Biden.
  9. Crazy that this team hasn't won a playoff game in nearly 20.yesrs. The regular season game waa a shootout, while the playoff one was one of the uglier games you'll see.
  10. Ride Captain Ride. Double the rides!
  11. No need to remind anyone, but still infuriating that this guy is the GOP nominee and, as of now, the favorite to win in November https://plus.thebulwark.com/p/haley-raises-big-questions-about-january-6th
  12. I'm just trying to think of any GOP'er besides Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger that pushed back early on against the "election was stolen" BS instead of the hemming and hawing we saw from the rest of them. And now we have at least 60 percent of the GOP voters think 2020 was stolen. Used to be that we had presidential elections and, depending on your voting preference, might've not liked the result, but accepted it. I fear we are getting removed from that forever due to Trump.
  13. I guess in 2016 he got 35 percent of the vote in VA against four other candidates still in the race. Tonight, pretty much running as an incumbent president and against only one other person still in the race, he's pulling 65 percent of the vote in VA. Not sure what it really means.
  14. Josh, the club level was turning into a ghost town in multiple sections until a couple seasons ago when they drastically reduced prices. Think they were able to get individuals in there again I think during the 2022 season I checked on Stubhub to see what was for sale on the 200 visitors side for multiple games and I remember the highest row I could find available was like 17. Back around 2009 my mom bought two tickets for the season opener in that area on Ebay. I had tickets to a preseason game in the club, but she gave me the location of the opener seats so I could check them out. Both were right behind a pillar. Needless to say, we got the money back from the jerk who put them out there.
  15. My observation when I regularly went to games was that the majority of the visiting fans were concentrated on the lower bowl visitors side. My suspicion has always been that a lot of those seats are owned by larger entities (corporate or government) who have employees that come to DC from all over the nation. Back in the day, when the stadium opened and the Skins weren't far removed from a Super Bowl title, those seats would be filled by Skins fans anyway. But as the interest in the team locally has waned, safe to say a lot of employees that get their chance to see their team from wherever they are are able to take the opportunity.
