I care about this issue but I agree that the Steelers game has NOTHING to do with this issue. People need to realize that the Steelers game was a fact of economic life...a perfect storm if you will...and it will happen again.
Fact #1) Nobody lives western PA anymore. There are no jobs in Pittsburgh. All of the Steelers fans have moved here. In every job I have ever had...there has always been 1 or 2 transplants from PA working with me. I am sure you all have notices this too. This fact is called, "High Demand."
Fact #2) The Steelers coming to DC for a regular season game is a very rare occurence. Under the current NFL schedule rotation, the Steelers will come to Fed Ex once every 8 years. But last year was the first time, I can't rememeber the Steelers comeing to DC for a regular season game in my lifetime. This makes the event a rare occurence. This fact is called "Low Supply"
Fact #3) Season Ticker Holders don't go to every game. They pay a lot of money for their seats and they sell some games each year to make up their losses. They tend to sell the games that differ from their Sunday Game Day Football Routine. They also sell games that bring a lot of money ...such as a high demand low supply Steelers Game. Season ticket holders take a beating on the pre-season games and other lame games like the St. Louis, Kansas City and such.
It will happen again when the Steelers come back to town.
