The new Dallas Cowboys Stadium will offer $90 pizzas
I wonder how many Clownboy fans here can afford that.

Those enjoying a Cowboys game from a luxury suite at the new stadium will have to shell out $90 for pizza and $66 for a 12-pack of domestic beer, reports Steven Sipple of the Lincoln Journal World. Ninety bucks for pizza? That's almost as much of a rip-off as Roy Williams.

It costs $800,000 per year to lease one of those luxury suites, a hefty sum that doesn't include game tickets. On the bright side, the stadium's official Web site says that "having your company's name on a suite makes an important statement about your success" and can help make an impression on clients. (Namely that they're paying you way too much money.)

As for the $90 pizza, that's the cost for a plain pizza. No word on how much each topping costs but, suffice it to say, if you're a fan of pepperoni you may want to consider refinancing your mortgage before you head down to watch the Cowboys.

1. "...[M]akes an important statement about your success."
As you say, clients ought to think about how badly they want to subsidize your luxury suite.

3. I figure most of the owners of those boxes are in the energy/oil buisness
so it's more like WE are going to be paying for those $90 pizzas.
