I agree. Season tickets are meant for fans to attend games themselves, at least some. The fact is that the Broncos did make exceptions for people in this situation, so I have to wonder what detail is left out. Regardless, having your lease renewed on those seats since 1969 doesn't confer special privilege. 

I find it interesting that the refrains of "I've had seats since 19xx" and disdain for anyone who hasn't been a fan since 19xx seem to be following a template in these complaints.
