Admittedly my life is different than it was when I used to go to as many games as possible, but you would think I'm in the perfect demographic for the flames. Mid 30s dad who makes decent money (I'm no CP average, but I do ok).
I just can't bring myself to dropping hundreds of dollars on a 2.5 hour event. Let's say the three of us go, that's ~250 for seats, ~40 food, ~20 beer, ~10 parking, 320 dollars and it's a 50/50 chance that the game isn't fun. The closest I come to spending that amount on other forms of entertainment is a live show at the theater, but for that I have a pretty good idea it's going to be entertaining based on reviews.
I dunno. I'm stuck between believing my own argument and just thinking I'm becoming a grumpy old man.
