I hate the "buy and mark up" crowd, but I guess that is a part of capitalism. 

Focusing on the real cool part of this:  Home Field Advantage.

When I took Dad to the Ring of Honor game last year (after letting my season tickets go four years ago after a divorce), I was amazed at the updates they had performed throughout the stadium.  Sure, the electronic tickets is a fiasco because the WIFI wasn't strong enough to handle that bandwidth, and the stadium is pretty blah aesthetically, overall experience was really cool.  

The sound systems have been massively upgraded.  I actually thought it was TOO loud (get off my lawn!), but the Ruler of the Jungle, the pyrotechnics, etc.....it was just a massive improvement compared to what I saw for the better part of 20 years.  

On top of that, it was a sell out (or close to it) as a prime time game and that place was rocking!  Even though the Bengals got off to a slow start and the Jags came in fighting, when the Bengals finally got things going the place was insane.  I can imagine it being that way from every snap for the entire season.  They haven't really had a huge home field advantage for a long time.  This sell out pretty much guarantees it.  

The prime time games will be amazing as well.
