NFL regular season games are expensive enough, but Playoffs
bring more demand which is followed by higher prices. One Wall
Street investment banker didn't hold back this past week shelling
out one hell of a football getaway for him and his buds.

Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. His name is Peter
Serafin, 57, married, Manhattan-born, and a diehard Green Bay
Packers fan. Since he's a Wall Street investment banker and
apparently can afford it, he shelled out a total of $240,000 to
take five friends (all Giants fans) on a road trip to see Sunday's
NFC playoff game between Green Bay and New York art Lambeau
Field.
How does one spend $240,000 at a football game, you ask? Easy.
His trip included: Fully stocked luxury RV, Two waitresses, Driver,
Executive chef of the Old Homestead Steakhouse, Three TVs, 26
bottles of champagne, 65 Kobe beef burgers, 100 gallons of beer,
150 pounds of prime beef, 10 live lobsters, Six tickets on the
50-yard line.
Oh, and he also missed his 28th wedding anniversary.
"Fortunately, my wife understood this is a one-shot deal," he
said
All the quotes we have from Serafin came before the game - no
telling what he's feeling like now. Maybe he's living in a tent
with the Occupy Wall Street protesters.
Mr. Serafin as a diehard sports fan I salute you. If you are
looking to shell out a few more sheckles consider the
Super Bowl.
