From the couch, Beer is better and cheaper and I can drink as much as I want without being worried about a DUI. I can pause the game and then fast forward through stoppages.
Play by play - especially with Ball and Hrudey making the TV experience a ton of fun.
I wonder if and how much VR development for spectating sports will effect ticket sales in the future.

Honestly this is it for me.
Harder to justify the cost & time commitment of going to a game when the experience just isn't substantially better at the dome.
Between the tickets, parking, Food+Drink, etc the cost of going to a game is tough to justify, especially on a work day where it likely means you have to eat dinner at the dome too.
Then what has been killing me is that traffic getting out of the dome just seems to be getting worse & worse (especially on the North side of the dome), meaning that it's taking 20-30 minutes just to get out of the parking lot.
I feel like I'm better off just staying at home, watching it in HD, and I'm not losing a ton of atmosphere in my decked out Flames man cave sitting in a comfortable recliner.
