It costs a lot of money for teams to put on a game. They didn't go into that but all of the people it takes to put a game on television is crazy and those people have to get paid. It did put things in perspective a bit as to the cost of going to a game because you're not just paying for your gameday experience.

The NFL is a business, and the amount they charge for tickets has nothing to do with the cost of anything.  As a business, they charge as much as they can.  They don't set the price based on the cost.  They set the price based on what you are willing to pay.  Then, like any business, they tell you how much it cost them to produce that thing they sold you, to justify the price they charge.
