The late years of the Sombrero were always well attended by both the Bears and Packers fans.  I bought season 4 tickets to the Bucs when we moved there in 1996.  They had a 4 pack deal that you could purchase the whole season at about the 5 yard line for, get this... $600.  I kid you not, 4 full season tickets for $150 each.  It was two years before the Bucs would move to RJ so I jumped on that as a way to see the Bears every year, as well as a lot of the other teams that I had never seen.

Two years later, our new seats were abouve the visitor tunnel down by the ship and I think the price went to $33/ticket.  I was splitting the cost with 3 other guys so no sweat, but literally it was like 2 years and the league realigned the Bucs out of the Central  >:(  We held onto the seats long enough to cover our seat deposit for 10 years, and then cut bait. The price went to $99/seat the year we dumped them - it was like a $25/seat increase.  Thos last years, I would just go to one game with the family and sell my others at face.

Look at the bright side G34,at least you aint a Dodgers fan holding tickets.

Those slime that own the Dodgers ran the team into the ground.
