The sad thing is that ticket sales is such a small percentage of a team's revenues. Makes this a pointless act that only hurts fans

When I hear that from Ted Phillips mouth I think, "We're doomed!"
Ted: "Guys, there's no way next season could be worse than this season."

Next Season: "Hold my beer."


you guys are missing the point

when Ted said that, he was referring to a drop in team revenue not the team playing record ... and he is sure that won't happen again because, ta-da, he has just raised some prices

We live in an age of perpetual bitching. 1-4% is absolutely nothing. Bet it doesn't even cover any cost increases.

It's normal inflation.

It bugs me hearing Ted Phillips talking about what they are going to do with the salary cap. The only thing I want to hear from him is the price of tickets and hot dogs.

Same damn thing was said after what turned out to be Trestman's final year.

I always thought the Bears were smart for building the smallest capacity stadium in one of the biggest markets when Soldier Field was revamped. No matter how bad the Bears were, they'd be able to find 61,500 with the ~ 3 million people in the Chicago that would want to go to the games.

Bears fans proved me wrong in 2016, and rightfully so.

Yeah, but they haven't raised prices since 2014, seems bad timing to do it after the season we just had. And it's the offseason, the time where the "newsworthiness" bar is ceremoniously lowered.
