Hope you’re enjoying football season! 🏈
I love watching live sports, but I’ve only ever been to one regular season NFL game because of the cost (and that time, my ticket was free!).
I saw a recent study that ranked Arizona Cardinals games at State Farm Stadium as the 12th-most affordable in the league.

But the average cost for a family of four? Still a whopping $1,249. That’s compared to the NFL average of about $1,475.
This total includes four tickets, two beers, two soft drinks, four hot dogs, and one parking pass.
The cheapest cost was $823 for Huntington Bank Field, home of the Cleveland Browns, and the most expensive was about $2,192 for Highmark Stadium, home of the Buffalo Bills.
I think I’ll stick to basketball. 😬

On Monday, we talked about the upcoming No Kings nationwide day of action on Oct. 17 that will promote early voting.
I asked if any of you had attended a past No Kings protest, and here’s what you said:
💬 “We have attended in Dove Mountain. I felt as if we were being seen and heard.” — Frank M.
💬 “Hell no! I wouldn’t attend even if they paid me. I have heard that some do get paid.” — Kelly M.
Editor’s note: There is no evidence that individual protesters have been paid to attend.
💬 “YES!! THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE. I attend every protest that I can; I’m a ReSister from his first term and the Women’s March era. No Kings seems more broad-based but just as fun and joyous. The first one I attended at the capitol included men in mocked-up tuxedos and top hats pushing through the crowds proclaiming benefits for billionaires! The signs and cosplay are hilarious and meaningful. These jokes just write themselves. Show up and speak out for hope, joy and The American Way! You won’t be sorry.” — Lori M.
Keep sending in your comments—I’ll post them to the website later today if I get some more!
