Talking about money problems.

Talking about money problems today seems to be the norm. But have you seen the new menu prices at the new stadium?
If you are having trouble with making your monthly payments how can one be so excited about the new stadium?

Hot dog: $4.75.
Bratwurst: $5.50.
Italian sausage: $5.50.
Polish sausage: $6.
Corn dog: $4.
Personal pizza: $7.
M&Ms: $4.
Snickers bar: $4.
Twizzlers: $4.
20-ounce soda: $4.
32-ounce soda in a souvenir cup: $5.50.
20-ounce bottled soda: $4.
20-ounce bottled water: $3.50.
12-ounce coffee: $2.50.
16-ounce coffee: $4.
22-ounce draft beer in a souvenir cup: $7.
16-ounce domestic bottle/can of beer: $7.
12-ounce glass bottle of beer: $6.50.

But we will still hear how people can not make those house payments and are behind so much that they can not afford school books or a trip to McDonalds when you see these same people sampling food at the stadium.

I believe the percentage is '40' - the fraction of concession reciepts that goes directly into Irsay's pocket. This surely explains the higher prices. The vendors have to charge more to overcome that expense.
