Dolphins Adding Luxury "Living Room Suites"

Fans these days need a bunch of fancy schmancy crap to watch football. Heck, a true fan should be able to sit for 3 hrs on bleacher seats and be fine. All those rich ass fvcks that buy those luxury suites think they are too damn good to sit down in the open air with common fans. Screw every one of them.

$75,000 for four recliners, a TV (or four smaller TVs) and iPads.

Oh, also there's food and drinks. And football.

Seventy-five thousand dollars. For this.

That's a dumb way to look at it if we're making money off the people willing to pay for these.

We are going to try anything to get the Super Bowl event back in Miami. Im sure theres more ideas coming out soon.

this is your upgrades folks....Ross is telling you in your face, I don't give a crap about the TRUE fans....we really need another owner bad. This guy just doesn't get it. They have NEVER once sold all those club seats, and now they are spending millions to install these....instead of upgrading for everyone.

Oh the private entrance & exit that is being paid for with tax dollars.....some democracy we have here now.

And to think he wanted to have OUR tax dollars pay for this. Wouldn't have been nice to have that EMT/Fireman that was laid off so the 1%'ers can have their luxury living rooms ?

Wake up people.....wake up.

lmao. Biggest exaggeration.

Garfinkel said the current luxury suite isn't ideal for everyone, especially people who want to cheer and feel like they are part of the stadium. The new seats, which are also available in 14 pods of four in the end zone, will allow fans to do what they do at home but be at the game.

If people are willing to pay for them (which they will) Who cares? The article even says there are 17,000 seats available under $50.00. And let's pretend like adding "luxury living room suites" is the only thing being done to the stadium... please. As someone who goes to games fairly often and pays anywhere from 30-300$ per ticket, the changes coming to sunlife sound awesome and some were needed pretty badly. I'm excited about em. Not sure why anyone would get on a soapbox and make this big of a deal over it when it doesn't even affect them in the slightest.

Also, you know Ross opted to pay for these himself right? or nah

ross could be an amazing owner if he could just get past some of his short comings, there is a lot to like about him.

I cant even last a quarter in the bleacher seats.. My beer is gone long before that.

How could you have been an old time football fan if you'd been forced to sit on a hardwood or aluminum bleacher seat? :shifty: Back in those days if you wanted a padded seat, you had to bring a thin square foam pad from home with you. For cold Friday night games, you could bring some coffee royal disguised in a thermos as plain coffee to help you tolerate the hard seat. :yes:

take the money to do what their doing with this crap and continue to change the structure to make more intimidating.

You don't have to be an old timer for that. As recent as the 90's Bills had purely aluminum benches for seating. Did a late 90's December game there in that.....never the hell again.

And think of it this way....those rich jagoffs are keeping them from raising prices on other seats. Let them milk cash from those that can easily afford it. Better then applying it to the rest of the seats.

Proposal:
Actual shark teeth planted on the sidelines.
Once every game, a lucky fan will receive a single javelin that he/she can hurl only once at any visiting player, but only during regulation. No retries.
The visiting locker room blasts the unwitting coaches and players with small amounts of short wave radiation.

Did that plenty of times and it's brutal. Enter whiskey.

why would anyone get upset over this? If there are people willing to pay for this stuff, then more power to them and to Ross. and in many stadiums, these luxury suites are purchased by companies, not individuals.

Good point.

A lot of those suites are "bought" by businesses, state officials, etc. At FedEx field, they are owned by a Whos Who of Defense Contractors. I look at it as super inflated price to keep standard seats normalized.

Why does it have to be one or the other?

Because some people have to have something to ***** about.

Unless you have hard numbers for specific enhancements, then I'm not sure how you can say that. For all you know, the cost creating these suites, wouldn't put a dent in what you want done.

Cool idea for those who can afford them. Not sure why anyone here is complaining. Maybe because, they can't afford them?

This kind of stuff is all over the place in stadiums and arena's. Heck.. the company I work for has a suite at the local arena for junior hockey (which is a pretty big deal round here) and it's awesome. I get that only a small percentage of people will get to experience a game this way, but it really shouldn't matter.

I think some people just want to ***** for the sake of *****ing about something Ross is doing. Really, the stadium needs upgrades, from general seating to luxury seating/suites. So... who really cares? Just be happy its actually getting done.

They don't care about intimidating. They want luxury and comfort. If you want really intimidating, get a set of the original blueprints for the old Orange Bowl and build an exact replica with all new materials. Just bulldoze this monstrosity that Joe Robbie built.

Don't be stupid, if they're unwitting then they're not intemidated. They have to know about the radiation. The shark tooth/javelin things are gold though. They're pretty much equal to deflated balls, or fake crowd noise. Fair is fair.
