I'm willing to fly over the next Super Bowl in a Piper Cub for just $45k. I'll even have a fat drunk as a co-pilot if that helps.

We had a fly-over at a Baltimore Colts Game way back in 1976.

Didn't go so well.

I thought it was established that the NFL paid for this? and that they typically use these fly-over events for those pilots to log flight hours to they meet their quotas?

TWENTY THOUSAND?
Who the hell would spend that much on a once time event?

First class everything I suppose..............
The readers of this forum tend to have a different point of view than the average person out there--its more like, -How little can I spend for anything?

But if you lived in the area and knew about this there was a way to park for FREE, sort of.

Across the street from the stadium is a shopping center called Lincoln Square. If you bought $75 worth of anything at one of their merchants you could leave the receipt on your dash and walk over to the game. They advertise they are one block north of the stadium, but it is more like one mile. They are about six blocks away.

They do this for all the games but the 'surcharge' is usually only $40.

Need to be dropped off at the front door? They also run a shuttle bus for $10 a trip.

Not me buddy. Thats way outrageous. Maybe $5k tops. I'm cheap.

Although I've been to expensive weddings before. $100/plate. Ridiculous price for the quantity and quality of food provided..at the one place. The other was actually pretty good.

The average family should not be spending nearly that on such an event. I cant understand 1k, especially if the whole household is a collection of avid football fans. It would be like a vacation. However, speaking on the family level, I'd never endorse spending 20k on anything short of long lasting items. I'm fairly certain like 99% of you here would agree. LOL.
