Because in the new stadium at Dallas you can get a "party pass" for 29 bucks. See the game, drink some brew for just under 30 dollars. Not too shabby.

the $29 ticket is brilliant on one hand, but we'll see how people act in standing room only. It may be an industry trend setter. Either way it was smart for JJ to come up w/that.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing new cowboys stadium. In fact, I think its design & many of the unique features (not the jumbotron) will be copied throughout the league. It's just a matter of scale; once you have a stadium that big it changes the game experience & it also makes it more imperative that tickets are all sold.
JJ's business plan likely projects sell outs or close over the next x no. of years. If that doesn't happen, he'll have to find other sources of $ in ticket sales. He just financed 1.2 billion, they're going to have to make A LOT of financial decisions in the near future re: ticket prices & other services that will likely make the avg. fan unhappy. I think it's simply a fact of life for any team building a new stadium.
