For sure.  After hitchhiking to Minneapolis and sleeping on a bench at the bus station, they will be impressed at how we can intelligently save money.
I can't help but notice with a few exceptions, the same people who are claiming they won't go because of the price are the same people who said they wouldn't go long before they price was announced.
Go.  Don't go.  Few care.  But being one of those people who claim they didn't want go to the Heritage Classic because "the ice conditions of an outdoor game can't be consistently maintained which makes the outcome suspect but the points still count in the standings which could effect a playoff position just to have a cash grab and everyone is tired of these already they aren't special anymore blah blah"...spending hundreds of dollars to rent a chair for 3 hours to watch millionaires make billionaires richer will never not be a stupid way to spend money.  Pay your hydro bill.  Save up for a vacation.  Give it to a breakfast program at a youth drop-in center.  It's your choice.  The price for this event, however, is completely in line with events of this nature.

Are these prices any higher than a Jets playoff game?  Free is better than expensive but this doesn't seem out of the range of what events like this usually cost.

As an Irish Mennonite he has to wait for the UV index to be in the negatives...

He didn't start for us when Nichols got hurt.
That's the problem I have with his time here.  Nichols got hurt early and Davis came in cold with #2 reps - no boohoo's, that's the life of the backup QB.  He didn't catch fire right out of the gate but also had 2 terrible wide-open hit-them-in-the-hands drops from his receivers (one was Dressler) on 2nd down that killed any positive momentum he might have gained and desperately needed.  Then the "fans" do what they do and start booing, so LeFevour gets the nod after halftime.  He was no better.  Worse considering Davis at least protected the ball.
Okay, Davis didn't look great but now you have the whole week to let him practise with the number 1 offence and get all the starter reps before the Calgary game.  Instead they go back to Lefevour and made him the starter.  No surprise, he sucked and almost got Harris decapitated on one of the dumbest screen passes I've ever seen thrown.
Do I care that Davis is gone?  We seem to have some good ones here.
Is Davis good?  I don't know.  We had a chance to find out and instead went with Cowbell LeFevour.  He'll probably get a few games to find his way in Ottawa.  I'm sure he'll have struggles, there's no substitute for having a 300 pound DT squash you when it comes to learning how to QB.
I guess I wish him well.  He continued to stick it out in football waiting for his break.  This is it.  Good luck to him.
 

Pricing is out and it ranges from $75 (upper deck corners) to $375 (Pinnacle Club).

Whitehead hasn't been here long enough to learn that trying to beat coverage to the corner with speed alone will work once, not every time.
Nelson was here last year, he's got the advantage of knowing that already. 
If Whitehead sticks around long enough, he'll hopefully learn to find seams and then use his speed rather than thinking speed creates seams.

Yes, Bison, my bad.

The net punting is identical. Looks like Ryan was placing it for coverage. 

Real nice to see the big play by Schrott.  About the only highlight for me really.
