Default Personally

Personally, I would go one further. Get rid of the major leagues as we know it. Cap the players salaries at something that is more in line with other fairly high dollar professions....I would say about 2m a yr is enough for anyone to not be homeless. Then maybe everything else would fall in line in the way of pricing and ordinary folks could go to games again. All they need to do is watch the farm clubs and copy them. What a blast those games are...and they are affordable. My guess is that most of those players wouldn't have 2m a yr jobs if they didn't play so they would still do it. Then you could start capping other things and the owners could still make money. Last time we went to a Cowboys game the parking was $54 and we had to park literally, almost a mile away. Fortunately the tickets and parking were freebies from some good friends but I can't imagine paying several hundred dollars for my family of three to see a major league game......regards

ps....to answer the question about the cameramen....the can always find some pretty girls to aim the cameras at
