=NFL ticket prices on the rise= The average ticket price for professional football games increased 4.5 percent this year to $76.47, even as some teams struggled to fill every seat. So many Americans love watching the game of football so many people will have to look for the extra cash to see their teams play. The NFL is a billion dollar industry with players being paid millions. The NFL is struggling with players being paid too much and fans not filling stadiums. I think i have only been to one NFL game when i was really young so this doesn't really affect me but now that i've been watching more football i would like to see one so these rising prices aren't great.
