Different country, same old story

Soccer culture in Brazil is changing, reports the New York Times. The gist of the story is that changes to the country's soccer stadium, including luxury boxes, have caused ticket prices to rise beyond the means of the average fan. Hmmm .... does that sound familiar? Been to an NHL (NFL, NBA, MLB) game lately?

In Brazil, some fans have organized a National Fans Association. Whether it will have an effect remains to be seen.
