No there are not a lot. When they built the new Stadium they didn't increase the capacity. (I like it. It's a great stadium). But we don't restrict ticket sales to anyone and I am against doing so.

I wouldn't jump on my high horse just yet. This is a new trend for big games and you can't say NE is not on board until they have their next big playoff game. Indy and SD didn't use to do it either. I'd expect it to become the norm when teams can EASILY sell out a playoff game and want that home field advantage.

I don't know if I'm on a high horse or not. I don't speak for NE. Just myslef. I'd be disapointed too if NE did it as well.
Restricting ticket sales is lousy for ALL the fans, the comunity, encourages high end scalping, and relfects poorly on the team.(IMHO).

I can't agree with you. If Indy has a home game I see nothing wrong with them hold the tickets for their fans. They could probably sell 100,000 tickets to that game but can probably only seat 70,000. Why not reward their fans by making it availble to them? If NE fans want to go to the game they need to have their team earn home field.

I was under the impression that the NFL controls the ticket policies for playoff games. Teams can't issue any without league approval, and allocations for home teams, visitors, NFL teams/sponsors/big wigs are rigid. I believe that season ticket-holders snap up most of the home team seats that are available to the general public. I would guess that any restrictions regarding buyer addresses are an attempt to limit scalping, and ensure that the tickets go to fans -- not brokers. I doubt it is part of a conspiracy to enhance home field advantage. :)

How do you define Fan? Resident of the State? Maybe they should check ID's at the gate too? . I guess Tickets to the Superbowl this year will only be sold to New England And Lousiana fans, eh? Hey you want to see a Superbowl game, them have "your team" EARN it.
What if I was a New England fan and actually lived in San Deigo? Could I buy ticket? Or should we restrict it to only "Charger Fans, living in SoCa?
It would be a sad day in sports if this ever gets offically adopted. How can you restric ticket sales to fans? It goes against everything about being a fan, the competion of the sport. Talk about poor sportmenship. I think it sucks.
I bet it could be argued that restricting ticket sales could be a form of discrimination and actionable in a court of law?
