@Shapalicious They are building a 4 billion dollar stadium. Season tickets are an incredible asset, the Broncos can either let the ticket holders extract the value from those seats, or they can take the value themselves. There is no selfless option, the seats will cost what people will pay.
@Shapalicious He blocked me for saying this, but every season ticket holder seems to feel they are entitled to their seats forever for no other reason than their parents/grandparents bought tickets years ago. He has been gifted the right to purchase those seats under market value for years.
@JustinTMichael I get that this stinks for you personally, but Broncos tickets aren't a birthright. They are an incredible asset that you feel entitled to because a family member bought them years ago. There are 100,000+people who have been waiting for decades for your seats. They are fans too.
@jamesmerilatt Season tickets are not a birthright. At a bare minimum 25,000 seats are for sale every game, all from "true fans" who use them to make a profit. The market says the tickets are worth more, the Broncos can take that profit, or fans who parents bought tickets 60 years ago can.
@byesline@PetersenWill They are one of the 3-4 worst teams in the MLB and are going to have one of the 3-4 worst records in franchise history. I understand this is "progress" but no one would be lauding the Broncos for going from 3-14 to 5-12. "feeling bad" for people missing out on this is insane.
@mnolangray I think you are mostly right, but you should look at what the Broncos are doing in Denver. They are going to great expense to keep it in town as opposed to the suburbs. Mixed use, in town, creating their own density as part of the project, etc.

@NBABlackburn I don't think Watson wants to be here, and I think the Nuggets have known that all along. They can play hardball to a point, but if a Klutch client wants out, you find a way to make that happen and get as much compensation as you can.
@NBABlackburn I know they keep saying the right things about Watson, but they seem detached from their words when talking about him. I'm not sure he wants to be here either. It seems the base take assumes he will be here, if he's not, that shuffles the options considerably.
@judgeglock In the senate/house you are voting for a group to be in charge, so morally defensible to choose a Platner/Gaetz type, there is only so they can do individually. At the executive level it doesn't feel morally defensible. Too much power to give to someone who is immoral/corrupt.
@LPDonovan Take a stroll through Nextdoor any time anyone wants to build/change anything. The absolute furor people have for every single potential project is staggering. Neighbors only accept restaurants/parks/boutique retail, all other projects are hated with the fire of a thousand suns.
@nickgerli1 We really overcomplicate all of this. People are moving to where they can afford to live. That was the Sunbelt, now it's the Midwest. Expensive markets were reasonably attainable at lower interest rates but became prohibitively expensive when interest rates went up.
@Noahpinion It will probably mean the end of cognitive improvement for a significant number of human beings, but almost assuredly not the end of human cognitive improvement.
@mattyglesias I think Democrats can tie cost of living issues to climate pretty easily. Insurance, infrastructure and grid upgrades required because of climate change, crop issues, water scarcity, etc. I think that is both true and the best climate narrative going forward.
