Probably because you don't drink beer at the game
At an NFL game each cup costs about $8.

I don't get why we are portrayed as cheapskates so often.

10% of our income is already gone. Harder to donate to other things.

That's assuming full tithe payers. Also assuming Mormons don't make more.

Utah always ranks #1 in charitable giving. That isn't a coincidence and it is

Because costs really add up when you multiply it by 4, 5, 6+ times for children.

With a $50k donation you can get 50 yard line seats in LES. I can't imagine a donation of this size would get you

It's really insane what you pay in a SEC program for seats

50K??

I could be wrong but I'd guess that the seats in section 34 weren't available by the time it was a $10k donor's turn

Not at all. Just a number that easily shows the %.

Would you give the same service if paid half and treated bad?

At what point do you know you are getting a bad tip and being treated bad.

So true. As soon as you say just water, many servers decide how theyll treat you
