Sports blogger for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; Don Walker conveys a strong opinion about the business aspect of sports. Prior to this blog, I was knowledgeable that sports had a business side, but I was unaware of the effects it actually has holistically.

First, I read a few of Don's articles and I think most of his opinions are logically based on facts. His blogs are believable, because they include quotes, statistics, and data. He is accurately able to credit his opinions. 

Second, the blog titled Packers at NFL average for ticket prices is one of my favorites. This article is extremely informative to me, because I have never been to a Packer game in my life before, but with the increase of ticket prices I am having second thoughts. 

Lastly, this article represents the complete business side of sports. I am curious of the reasoning behind these ticket increases. The most interesting portion of this article is the list of elements the Fan Index Cost consist of. After a Green Bay Packer Game, it is estimated that a fan spends $448.24 each Packer game they attend.

I am excited to meet Don today. I hope that if nothing else I can take from his visit. I hope to get a lot of my inquiries about the business side of sports answered. Most importantly, I am going to completely take advantage of his visitation. It's not everyday that you get to me an insightful journalist.
