Raise prices again as fans come back.

I honestly don't see where Hunt followed this model at all. He has constantly pumped $ into the product and franchise he just has hit wrong on some of it like Pioli.


As expensive as it is the Chiefs still rank towards the bottom on ticket cost etc...and the fan experience at Arrowhead is still great.
