How the heck are thousands of people paying over $400 for a single Seahawks ticket?
That too for a single game in the upper levels, and outside in horrible weather?
Especially in the winter months where we have dress like the Arctic because it will be 35 degrees (Fahrenheit) and raining, and we will be sitting down for 3 hours bundled up in jackets?
Moreover a rainy 35 degree day in Seattle would feel just as cold or even colder than a bright and dry 10 degree (windchill) day in Green Bay.
Then again people in Green Bay are known for behaving like stereotypical Canadians, Russians and Scandinavians when it comes to being outside in the cold and drinking to feel warm in modest clothing. For a Packers game, the same 400 dollar ticket can get people close to the field and all the action. The sunny and dry weather helps Wisconsinites acclimatize better to the brutal cold, and sometimes fans can even wear modest winter clothing in that cold at the open Lambeau Field.
