If man were to dig a fancy pit that rich people would fight to throw money into, we suppose it would look a lot like the Dallas Cowboys‘ new $1.2 billion stadium. For only $800,000 you can rent a suite that doesn’t include tickets to the game — or food and drink.

A witness describes the crime:

Tuesday’s tour took our group into a suite that can be leased for $800,000 a year – which doesn’t include the price of game or event tickets but does offer a large pizza for $90 (no toppings), 12-packs of domestic beer for $66 apiece and a four-pack of Red Bull for $22, among other ridiculously priced items.

And we thought NFL Sunday Ticket was expensive.

UPDATE: The Dallas Cowboys say the article we linked to isn’t accurate. They say the pizzas will be available in 5 varieties for $60, and the suites cost a mere $500,000 and include tickets to Cowboys home games.
