Chiefs will host the Broncos on Christmas Day, and Chiefs/Dallas will play on Thanksgiving, but I don't recall who the home team is.

It's in Dallas.  Detroit and Dallas always play at home on Thanksgiving.  Lions will host the Packers that day, and play the Vikings on Christmas on Netflix, but I am not going to order a streaming service to watch one NFL game.

Cowboys 2025 schedule is what it is. My wife and I were going to attend the Cowboys VS Raiders here in Las Vegas on November 17th, her being a Raiders fan and me being a Cowboys fan BUT…

Lowest ticket for that game is $575 for the nose bleed section…that adds up to $1,150 not counting any fees plus parking, which starts at $175…to park a car at the Allegiant Stadium. OVERPRICED TO THE NTH DEGREE!! We can see the 49ers in a pre-season game against the Raiders starting at $97, which is far more affordable!!

Allegiant Stadium ticket prices are way overpriced no matter the event, except for UNLV college football which can be as low as $8 per ticket. Allegiant Stadium reasons for offering high ticket prices is “We’re in Las Vegas; the capital of entertainment.” HOGWASH!!

GO COWBOYS!!

Even though that Cowboys VS Raiders game is going to be on MNF, that to me is just another reason to gouge the ticket prices. It’s just the NFL…it’s just Las Vegas…it’s just a football game. I love my Cowboys to the end of the world but not that much to pay those blown-up prices. Watching football games on the TV works for me.

There have been some YouTube videos that have done the math to explain how much it would cost to watch the NFL from your home, and the price is going up.  Between regular TV, ESPN, NFL Network, and the multiple streaming services, if you wanted access to watch every NFL game live on TV/internet it would cost approximately 855 dollars.  That was in 2024.  It is expected to be higher this season.  That is simply to watch the game sitting on your sofa.  As long as fans keep paying the increase in cost, the league will continue to raise their prices.  Eventually there will be 18 games.  Eventually the Super Bowl will be a PPV event.  The NFL will squeeze every penny they can out of the fans and the fans will keep paying, so each year the league will set a new record in profits.

If you wait and watch as the game gets closer, you might be able to find some tickets at reduced prices.  Just keep an eye out.

I don't think the Super Bowl will ever by pay-per-view.  The NFL makes too much money selling the rights to the Super Bowl, and networks pay it because they can make it back in advertising.

I hope you are correct, I don't like the idea of a PPV SB. 

[sensei8]

I don’t think that we’d ever see a PPV SB because the SB In itself generates quite a lot of money to go around to make whatever company happy.

BUT…one never knows.
