TEXAS MAN JAILED AFTER TRYING TO TRADE A GOAT FOR NFL TICKETS, CLAIMS IT WAS A “FAIR MARKET OFFER”
TEXAS MAN JAILED AFTER TRYING TO TRADE A GOAT FOR NFL TICKETS, CLAIMS IT WAS A “FAIR MARKET OFFER” ARLINGTON, TX — A Texas football fan was arrested Sunday after allegedly attempting to exchange a live goat for two lower-level NFL tickets outside AT&T Stadium. According to police, 33-year-old Cody Barnett arrived at the stadium towing a trailer containing a goat named Nacho, which he claimed was worth "way more than Ticketmaster prices." Witnesses say Barnett spent nearly three hours approaching tailgaters and ticket holders asking if they would consider "livestock-based negotiations." Several fans reportedly thought it was a joke. It was not. According to the incident report, Barnett carried a handwritten sign reading: "GOAT FOR 2 TICKETS. VERY FRIENDLY. MOSTLY HOUSEBROKEN." One witness claimed Barnett gave a detailed presentation explaining the goat's advantages over cash, including lawn maintenance, companionship, and emergency milk production. The situation escalated when Barnett allegedly attempted to walk Nacho through a security checkpoint while insisting the animal was his "plus one." Stadium security stopped him immediately. Police say Barnett then became involved in a heated argument after accusing ticket holders of "disrespecting traditional Texas commerce." Officers were called when the goat reportedly escaped, entered a tailgate party, and consumed half a tray of brisket sliders. The animal was recovered unharmed. Barnett was arrested after refusing multiple requests to remove the goat from stadium property. As officers escorted him away, witnesses say he yelled: "You people are gonna regret turning down this deal!" Several fans later admitted the goat may have been worth more than the tickets.
