Only had to pay $10 for parking at Colts camp last summer and Irsay held a FREE (as in no admission fee) open house and practice session at Lucas Oil Stadium a couple of weeks ago. He sure has evolved into a far better owner than his %&*#@* father, Bob....
Sounds like we all agree the problem seems to be paying full price for a 'scrimmage' (accurate descripton for a preseason game) w/ back up players in a game that doesn't count.

He actually charges to see practices?????

I think it is disgusting that they charge a fee for fans of some teams to just have the privilege of buying season tickets. I swear, if the Dolphin owner (du jour) decided to charge a fee for the privilege of paying nearly $100. a seat for season tickets, I would drop my tickets. Truly, there's no one I know that loves football more than I do, but at one point, you just have to say NO!
