6. I think it's 95% cost of attendence and it has become less entertaining than ever.

1) I can't even go see my terrible Browns without $50 tickets (for not great seats), $20 parking, and $5/bottle shitty light beer. Too expensive.

2) People have computers in their pockets nowadays... c'mon man. Your phone and your home TV give you 5 different slow mow views from every possible playback angle along with commentary. In the stadium, the scoreboard rarely shows detailed replays on the jumbo-tron, you don't get good (any?) commentary, and the live action is viewed with your naked eye 50 yards away AT BEST. NFL Replay and 360 views with the flying camera are sooo goo nowadays, you really miss a lot not watching on network TV. This is set of complaints is the same for MLB, too.

3) Too many penalties now too. A long time ago, I remember thinking when the "new" horse collar tackle penalty was horse... shit. Now it seems like someone rushing the QB gets called for a penalty if they even give him a dirty look. Letting receiver cross the middle and go up for high passes right through the middle of the box uncontested (or get a penalty if you hit them "too soon&quot ?? Absurd. Let 'em play.
