This image is from the Edmonton Oilers ... but since you've brought that up and a lot of us still remember the Houston Oilers ... here's an interesting note I ran across this morning.I would suggest to stop pissing off your base viewership, but then again

One of the surprising ratings stories this week came from the Texans' game against the Panthers drawing less viewers in Houston than Cowboys-Saints. But the Dish-Fox dispute includes the Houston Fox affiliate, so that likely played a role.
I assumed people would put Oilers, hockey, and Canada together. Maybe not.So this is in Canadian dollars, not U.S. dollars. So $21.75 Canadian is $16.32 U.S.

Still, over $15 bucks for beer and popcorn? Almost $70 if a family of four gets wings and a soft drink? Heck man, I had a tab that was almost seventy last week that include shots (four liquors and a Red Bull,) taco's, and a few beers (bought a few of those for a friend.)
It's outrageous what they're charging now-a-day.
There aint nuthin like being at the stadium for an exciting game thoughAnd this is exactly why this old man would rather get together with friends, grill out and watch the game. You can grab snacks or go to the bathroom during a commercial. If the game happens to not go the way you had hoped, you can change the channel

What the hell....
Do they think these people are coming to a movie theater?
Man our theater here - they just built a brand new a couple of years ago - decided they were going to provide actual meal foods (chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, etc.) along with the usual theater food and it's really reasonable. Chicken nugget combo for like $7, which is about what you will pay anywhere. The popcorn and candy is still outrageous to me but at the same time you can get a huge bucket of popcorn for $20 that gives you a free refill each time you come to the theater for the entire year (as long as you bring the bucket with you each time). My wife and I decided to check out a movie when we stayed in Pensacola earlier this year and I didn't realize just how spoiled we had gotten until I went to up there and bought two cokes, two nachos and it was $20.
Not being with a crowd beats it, hands down.There aint nuthin like being at the stadium for an exciting game though
