Cost of Attending Game Out of Control

According the San Francisco Examiner, attending a Forty Niners game in 2004 is the third most expensive in the nation,  "lagging behind only Gillette Stadium -- the sparkling home of the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots -- and the Washington Redskins' FedEx Field."

Just another example of the "soak the fan" management style of Doctor John York and his Ohio based stupidity.  According to the Team Marketing Research report, "much of the increase stems from the 10.3 percent hike in ticket prices to an average of $64. In contrast, the Raiders' ticket prices average $58 and remained the same this year, as did its fan cost index, which stands at $331."

And what do we get for the third highest cost, a crappy team, a crappy stadium and even crappier ownership.  Nobody outside the locker room expects much this season from the 49ers, who won five championships from 1981-94 -- yet it's still difficult to quash the optimism surrounding a franchise still associated with excellence, even after six wildly uneven seasons under John York's ownership.
