Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 5318220, member: 1522"] Generally agree but it depends on the sport. If I lived in Connecticut I would probably get season tickets for men's basketball because I love the program so much and there's not much going on in Connecticut in the winter. I would also go to every Big East tournament, it's about as good as it gets in live sports. I only go to UConn vs. DePaul now and will make a trip to Milwaukee or hopefully Indy to see them play at Hinkle. Also praying for the Huskies to make the final four in Indy this season. I like going to around 8-10 mlb games a season between the Cubs and White Sox because being at the ballpark and having a couple beers outside is always a good time when it's not sweltering and then we go out after. It's the one sport where I really enjoy being there but I watch very little of the game. Haven't even been to a single game this season though, have a couple Cubs games locked in for September but that's it. NFL games in person stink as far as I'm concerned and I would never pay what they charge for them. Only times I've gone are when they're free and I would still rather watch at home or at a bar. I used to go to a fair amount of regular season Bulls games when they were good but NBA regular season is only good if you're close to the action and I would never pay the prices now. Playoffs are too much money for me and the playoffs are a foreign concept to the Bulls these days anyways. I'm probably done going to any NBA games. NHL and International Soccer are much better in person and I would pay a good amount to watch them even though I don't follow the sports. I also remember tennis being awesome in person but those memories are from when I was a kid and went to the US Open early rounds, New Haven tennis center, indoor at the Civic Center and some qualifier events. Big time college football is great in person for the pageantry/spectacle of it all but actually watching the game is better on TV, IMO. I've seen some good ones but not really hankering to do it again. I've been to golf at Traveler's and Medinah but it was a lot of walking/jogging around and then being stuck in a mass of people with nowhere to go. I don't even like golf so I was wondering what I was doing there. [/QUOTE]
