Someone has to pay the bills, and the bills in the NFL are rather large. Just think, if they had no advertising revenue, the NFL would either have to reduce its expenditure (mainly on players wages) or increase its income streams from the fans. Apparently, the Jets and the Patriots charge over $117 per ticket per fan on average; the cheapest is around $54 for Jacksonville, Cinncinatti the Cleveland Browns. Meanwhile, the average price for a beer at an NFL game in $7.28. $7.28 is £4.55 in real money, for a beer; that would be rather expensive even in London.

Do you use the expression "Taking the piss" in America?

NFL Fan Base Relationship.

But its a lot better value for money than supporting Premier League soccer in England.

£4.55 cheaper than Lords and the Oval as well.

Regarding drink at any sporting event "Taking the piss" ia a pretty apt statement.

Good point on the advertising though, for without it, fans could expect to dig a lot deeper than they already do.
