    Completely agree. You should listen sometime to this guy. He has absolutely no idea how things work in the NFL and his opinions are way out there and frequently wrong. It drives me crazy. Anyone on this board could do a better job. It's 102.5 The Game. I'm sure they're on iHeart Radio app.

    Why was this moved to the Lounge? It's definitely "Titans and NFL Talk."

    Here’s the problem with this…

    One, tickets were being written off as military donations, and then given away to scalpers so they could avoid paying the user fee they owe the city for sold tickets. Not just shady, but flat out illegal.

    Two, at the same time they are providing tickets to scalpers to sell to opposing fans, they are preaching to the fans about home field advantage and how important it is to show up and fill the stadium with blue. If you want to fill the stadium with blue, don’t sell tickets in huge blocks to the opposing fans. I know it’s a business, and they want butts in the seats, and there are always going to be opposing fans in the stands. But if butts in the seats are more important that Titans fans in the seats, don’t pull a guilt trip on the city for not supporting the team. Seriously, the Cowboys game last year was ridiculous how many Dallas fans there were, and now we know why. Because those seats were never put on sale to the public, they went straight to a scalper.

    U guys should read the link. Titans FO was selling them at a discount for the specific purpose of getting those tickets to Cowboys fans.. In exchange for buying some of the crappy game tickets, also at a highly discounted price.

    Giving away tickets to war vets is one thing. But this kind of thing only helps the Titans to continue to have no home field advantage.

    They're TRYING to get tickets into opposing fans' hands.
    I honestly hate to keep comparing this to the Preds' strategies, but it makes the Titans brass look like bumbling fools who will pimp themselves out for a dollar, IMO.

    Thank you.
    It's clearly a money over loyalty deal, that farts in the face of its PSL holders.


    They are devaluing the little bit of fan pride that exists, and it's just a move that a spineless, sellout organization would pull, out of sheer desperation..

    Hopefully Mariota will fill the stadium up with Titans fans if he succeeds, but we know what they will do for a dollar, when the demand isn't high..

    Before the fans are blamed, the finger has to point right back to the top of this organization, who hasn't fielded a solid team in nearly a decade.

    A winning team will make up for all kinds of ills, but without it, this organization is completely rudderless, and looks like it lacks pride... just my opinion.

    So does this mean our home games are going to end up blacked out now?

    it could be possible.. I guess. If they have to go backdoor dealing to get it lifted, then they've got some big issues. If they want to sell tickets to opposing fans for a discount.. they should consider moving the PSL holders all to the lower level if they choose for a few games, and have 5 dollar tickets to the upper deck, or something.

    That may be somewhat productive to the local fanbase. What they're doing currently, only undermines it.

    It would be good for them to get kids interested in the team.. because nowadays, we're seeing a generation gap.. Titans aren't gaining new fans. Take it to schools, give every kid a 5 dollar ticket voucher. Or heck, even free.
