OT: How much would someone have to pay you

[whaler11]

To get in your car, drive 2 hours to an NFL stadium on a Saturday night and sit through an entire preseason game.

If I had to drive myself no way would I go for less than $500.

Having gone to one over a decade ago, cause the ticket was free, I can tell you those people are there to get smashed. I'm surprised they make it inside. Seeing as I am not much of a drinker/tailgater, it was the first and last time I ever went to a preaseason game. 500 bucks, yeah that would do it.

A guy I work with had suite tickets for Patriots/Rams on a Thursday night and was baffled why none of us wanted to go with him.

I went to a Pats/Giants preseason game a few years ago and sat in those 200 club seats for free. I still couldn't make it through an entire game.

Less than you would have to pay me to go to any MLB game.

My buddy has Pats season tix. The insult is that the preseason "games" are part of the package and cost the same as real games.

 

[Nostical]

Not one dime if my son was playing in the game.

I can see finding that as boring - but the atmosphere isn't quite as toxic. I don't know how anyone brings kids to any NFL game.

It's amazing there hasn't been a revolt.

It's also amazing the league allows their rosters to be decimated during the preseason. So many guys get hurt it's amazing.

Especially an away game. Some stadiums are downright hostile to opposing fans. Drunk grown ups cursing at 10 year olds etc.

Y'know, if those 10 year old kids would shut the he!l up, root for the right team and not get up every five minutes to go to the bathroom, drunk adults wouldn't have to yell at them.

Your scenario is exactly why I made sure to buy tix to the UConn/UCF game in the UConn visiting section. The UConn/Tulane game? I'm not nearly as worried about the crowd.

People don't get rowdy when they're sleeping.

When I was living in CT we drove down to the meadowlands for a Gints weeknight preseason game. Nope, never do that again. Now I live 15-20 minutes from Foxboro and I've been to one Pats preseason game. If someone wanted to give me tickets and was going with friends I'd drive the 10 miles - otherwise no way. Shoot, I've turned down club box seats to the Red Sox in the regular season. I should frame this by saying since my kids were born my wife fights me on UConn football games so I pretty much turn down everything else.

I'd rather be forced into attending every Jacksonville Jaguars preseason game for the rest of my life than listen to one inning of a Yankees game with John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman.

I would insist on a limo.

Or maybe a helicopter?
