But it's just as appealing to most baseball fans.

Sarcasm aside, I can't understand the general ignorance that baseball isn't appreciated nationwide (as in, somebody living on the east coast can't find fascination in baseball on the west coast). You learn to like other teams because of the amount of exposure you're given to them. This is why the Yankees and Red Sox are so popular, and it's also how I became a huge Braves fan when they were always on TBS.

The NFL doesn't just show your local teams on football Sunday, and often times you follow players right out of college so you tend to follow that team as well. This exposure is their ticket to watching/liking more than just their team, plus the fact that they only get to see their team 16 times a year if lucky. That's not much football.

If it's really only $180, then that's fair. I didn't understand the $340 price, though. That's why I made the post that I did.

The Problem is The NFL and Direct TV made a deal that allowed Direct TV to have a monopoly over Sunday Ticket. They only show in town they charge what they want. The MLB and Hockey packages are on most cable outlets. I just don't like how the NFL is run since Goodell took over. It is not fan friendly.

Not sure what price people were expecting. $340 is about the cost for Sunday Ticket for DTV subscribers outside of any discounts, package deals, etc. It's not like they're going to offer it for cheaper to non-DTV subscribers.

This just gives the Sunday Ticket option to people that didn't have it before. I think I'd rather pay $50 (or whatever it is) for RedZone only through FIOS, but it's nice to know I at least have the option which I didn't have before.

Yes, and I think that's a very steep price on its own (kind of what I said in my first post). I never knew it was so extremely high. I'm surprised most people bite the bullet for it. It's a crime to charge that much.

I would have gotten it if it was less then $200 but this is way too much.
