Super Bowl Champs 2012

Congratulations NY GIANTS and NY Giants' FANS!!   New Jersey’s, NY Giants are football’s Super Bowl XLVI Champions! They did it!  I did not think they would.  That is, during the season, I did not think they would.  These last several weeks, though, I thought, “Are They Going To Do This?” Now I know.  That team has given us plenty of reason to smile in this part of the world today.  That’s a good thing, for sure.

Now, I’ll give a bit of space to my other thinking.  All the big money talk surrounding the event has me shaking my head. 

I’ll not get involved making a thoughtful observation on the merits or demerits of the mind-boggling cost for a 30 second TV spot.  Although, I admit to some day dreaming considering the WOW factor of me following up on activity today if Black Star Girl had a smidgen of the Super Bowl Sunday advertisement exposure yesterday.  It’s fun thinking about that.

But, over 3K, average price paid for a ticket to the game somehow dulls my happiness.  Why would it cost so much.  I’m asking because I don’t know.  Do they charge such a royal amount primarily because they CAN?  Doesn’t such an exorbitant fee make being there an ‘out of the ballpark’ entertainment option for at least 80% (probably more) of the fans?   Are there any provisions for reasonably priced tickets?  Is it true that each seat in that stadium cost someone over three thousand dollars?  I’m simply curious. If you know, let me know, please?
