Who on Earth would pay ninety bucks for a pizza? Besides Cowpies fans, that is. |

Seriesly! http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/The-new-Dallas-Cowboys-Stadium-will-offer-90-pi?urn=nfl,180810The colossal new Dallas Cowboys Stadium is living proof that everything is bigger in Texas. The menu in the luxury suites proves that things there are more expensive too.
Those enjoying a Cowboys game from a luxury suite at the new stadium will have to shell out $90 for pizza and $66 for a 12-pack of domestic beer, reports Steven Sipple of the Lincoln Journal World. Ninety bucks for pizza? That's almost as much of a rip-off as Roy Williams. :rofl: It costs $800,000 per year to lease one of those luxury suites, a hefty sum that doesn't include game tickets. On the bright side, the stadium's official Web site says that "having your company's name on a suite makes an important statement about your success" and can help make an impression on clients. (Namely that they're paying you way too much money.)
As for the $90 pizza, that's the cost for a plain pizza. No word on how much each topping costs but, suffice it to say, if you're a fan of pepperoni you may want to consider refinancing your mortgage before you head down to watch the Cowboys.:wtf:

1. Well---I paid 7 bucks at a Braves game a couple of weeks ago |
|
and it was the size of a normal beer can. That would be 42 bucks a six pack...

3. It's the same everywhere. |
|
The luxury boxes at The Linc have comparable prices. Although the box owners can stock the boxes with their own beer.

9. There are those out there that won't give a shit |
|
For the truly wealthy it's pocket-change. For those on corporate expense accounts it's the cost of business entertainment. I guess that would make up about 99.9% of luxury suite owners.

15. Jerry Jones -- now there's a laugh riot. |
|
Actually, the price of cowboy pizza underscores what I posted earlier -- the wealthy will pay an absurd amount for many things without thinking twice. For most us it is a concept so foreign that it is laughable.

19. Dude! You can't even get the sport right! |
|
:wtf:
BTW, the kids in you pic probably will never get to see a World Series Championship, so I guess they might as well eat $90 pizza!
