This is stupid... absolutely stupid.
Ticket sales won't plummet though... most people are just too stupid to care.
really think so? I don't think they'll "plummet" but go read through the comment section under the usa today story. Other negative articles about this are hitting sports sites where at least half the comments don't look very positive tward the new rules. I won't go now, I'm sure there will be others.
This is the way it will work out, if 5% less buy tickets, they'll just bump up the price to cover that loss. So you'll pay more, probably more as the cost of screening will go up too. People will miss kickoff really pissing off more people and they'll be extra pissed that they have to show up early and wait through long lines.
I'm getting really sick of all this bullshit and Big Sis has said the goal is to eventually get this going for all shopping malls, concerts, trains etc... The day is coming where you won't be able to travel anywhere without having to show your papers, be questioned or interrogated, scanned or felt up or some combo of those. Doesn't sound very American to me.
