All - just want to let you know, I've been speaking to Les Carpenter over the last 2 days (yahoo author), and Billy will be going to the Jets/49'ers game in NY based on one of a number of people that reached out help out. There were actually a lot of people that were touched by the article and reached out. Rest assured, he will be going to his first game at Met Life stadium in September - rooting for the 49ers. The power of the internet does good yet again.

I'd toss in a few bucks to help the guy go to a 49ers game. I mean, every now and then I give the homeless guy on a corner a few bucks, and he most likely isn't even a Niners fan...

You all are a bunch of coldhearted bastids, man. I would have kicked down a few bucks for him whether he was disabled or not. There's nothing like seeing your first game live.

Thats is the truth! The NFL is taking the game out of the hands of the middle class more and more. Its becoming a rich mans game by design and I hope Billy Walsh gets to see that game this year. I'm sure it will be an emotional day for him and i wish i could see his reaction!!! GO NINERS!

This really isn't true. It is not that expensive to watch a game. The only games that are expensive are playoff games. It cost just as much if not more to go to a big program college game where the seats are generally metal rails. It cost more to go to circus o lay, it cost way more to see a basketball game, and it is very close to the amount paid to go to a lot of arena events(circus, disney on ice, monster tracks, WWE). My wife spends much more going to concerts than it would to go to a game. It is not a rich mans sport, that is just wrong. These stadiums seat 60K plus, and it's not filled with the rich guys.
Frustrating. Try managing your money better and you'll find out that if your truly middle class than you will have plenty of money to see games. I'm lower middle class with three kids, and me an my wife go to every S.Carolina home game and have to pay for a baby sitter to watch three kids for 5 hours. I've sat everywhere except in the luxary boxes, outside of club seats the upper level section is my favorite and those tickets for pro games generally cost me and my wife less than the tickets for S. Carolina.
