Stadium concessions are also a supply and demand thing.  On a football game day you can have like 70,000 people stuffed within a mile radius and if you make hot dogs and beers a dollar each people are going to buy 10 of them and you'll sell out before the anthem hits.

I will say this contract is pretty absurd, but at the same time you have to wonder if the Chicago Bears are relieved that they drafted Trubisky instead of Mahommes now that they see how much an MVP and SB-winning QB would cost them.  Yeah, I doubt it.  I just try to put myself in the shoes of the Chiefs or Chiefs fans.  Let's say Joe Burrow is the 2021 MVP and then he wins the 2022 SB and is the SB MVP.  If he wants half a billion bucks are you going to say "You got it!" or risk watching him sign with the Steelers or Patriots or something.  Oof.

As Billy Joel once sang, you pay for your satisfaction somewhere a long the line.
