Who's going? I've gone the last two years and will be there tonight. It's an amazing price if you can make it. $10/5 student or USATF $ with no parking fees. Although some will have to fight the notorious LA traffic to get there.
As for pricing of the TV package, a reference point is the NFL Sunday ticket. It is $300 for the season if you are not a new subscriber or want to spend countless hours haggling with the cable company.
I do agree with others that USATF or NBC should sell the rights/show the meets during late and early TV filler times. The NFL network does a great job of featuring shows such as the 10 greatest running backs of all time. NBC and USATF should feature shows such as "The Greatest Olympic 1500 Finals" with race footage and background interviews.
I heard this is in the works for future years. NBC and USATF are gathering archives and producing shows very similar to this. Hope it actually happens.
