Wow. That takes self serve to whole other level. I get the stadiums are big, but that kind of request needs to come with consideration, even reduced ticket prices could do the teick if they're asking fans.

Or yeah, they could just pay fair value for services rendered, i know alien concept isn't it! Lol

Are attendees going along with it?

I imagine the fan reactions are all over the place. Some of them probably think it's fun and enjoy the sense of community they get from doing it shoulder-to-shoulder with other fans. Sort of like tailgating with extra sweat. And there's nothing wrong with that. I have also learned that at least some of the stadiums are paying the fans, too. Something like $20/hour. So not as dystopian as I first thought.

Yeah theres that comradery. "Tailgating with more sweat" thats such a vivid description lol! You need to be on these guys marketing team with lines like that.

$20/hour is actually a fairly reasonable hourly rate for the US isn't it. I'm just going off min wage being $15 in a lot of States now

Don't get me wrong I have a lot of problems with the NFL, NFL owners, and stadium projects. I just didn't feel right punching down on these fans if they are enjoying it and making some money doing it.

Yeah no, of course. I understand. For me it's a problem i never considered with all those stadiums. The worst the ones over here would get is like hail once a year, or a precipitation of Queenslanders every so often ;p
