That depends on your answer to the following question…

Am I allowed to sit in the seats on the 40 yard line amongst the coaches and personnel men with their stop-watches and pepper them with obnoxious questions about who they like and why?

I don’t even pay to go to games. Plus you would have to pay for traveling. However, there will be 300+ fans that will.
The NFL is a business. All businesses look for ways to make money.

Watch it NFL this could be your Jump The Shark moment.

I would do the same thing

Fans pay for cable now to watch NFLN’s live coverage of prospects running around in shorts. It’s all crazy.

I hope they don’t create a circus environment at the combine. But for the sake of grabbing a few more dollars, it is prbably on the way.

Doesnt the NFL make enough money off the fans as it is? If you have this Combine every year,and are gonna have fans watch it,at least let them watch for free.Is that too much to ask?…also let them bring their own food and drink.Why should the NFL profit on something like this?

How about a little goodwill & give back to the fan base NFL leadership?

Marketing the combine as a free event to unlimited spectators would be a simple way to accomplish that!

Hell no, they’re lucky I watch it while I’m at work. But, if you were say include free food and drink, and some time to meet people, it would be worth taking a day off AND paying for it. I personally would love to shake hands with my coach…Well, I mean I would now that Gailey is gone.

Only if that $25 includes all the beer I can drink.

There was no beer offered at all. If you can not watch a event with out beer. They do not want you.

No way. It’s getting out of hand. 10 bucks for the day, maybe. And free for season ticket holders. And free parking.

The league will no doubt make a nice chunk of change with souvenir sales, beer, food etc.

The NFL brand will benefit enough from allowing fans in cheap in the long term and so will the reservoir of good will.

The NFL is slowly chasing the best fans from the stadiums financially. Corporations can afford the incredibly high prices however so the prices will continue to rise.

Pretty soon, most regular season NFL games will be as quiet as a Super Bowl full of ‘fans’ who just want to be seen.

I was at the combine( I was one of the 300) There was not beer, there were no souveiners being sold. We were given FREE parking, breakfast, lunch and a gift. I would pay 25.00 if it went to charity.

Why should season ticket holders get the tickets? ( in Indy, they sell their tickets in a heart beat). Tickets were offered up to any fan who replied.

Would you pay $25 dollars to see these same players play 4 fairly meaningless exhibition games instead of being jammed full price of a regular season game?

Because I would sure as hell im not going to book a flight across the country, book a hotel, get a rental car, pay $25 to see how high a QB can jump and s 300 pound linemen can run a 40yd dash, meanwhile eating and drinking my $100 hotdog & coke with a smile. Anything you guys can think of to sqeeze another dime from the fans who feed you. Since Goofhell took over as comiss. this game is turning into a reflection of his personality, its like watching paint dry! Does that answer your stupid question. The fans have spoken!
