You have it right. The game-day experience at Fed Ex is not much fun anymore and it is nowhere near worth the cost on a season-ticket basis.


And since you can get single game seats to ANY game you want, you can pick and choose only the best games with the best weather.


If I wanted to be hammered - - or buzzed since 9:00AM - - while watching a game, I can do that at home in front of my HDTV anytime I want. Funny, but I don't choose to do that very often...


I'll probably pick two games to see live this year - - maybe one. I'll go with four or five friends. We will hire a limo to take us from one of our houses to the game and then to pick us up and drive us home afterwards. We will have had a few adult beverages; we will still be functional and rational - - but not necessarily legal for driving purposes after the game.


Total cost to me for those two games - getting prime seats even if we have to pay more than face value which we don't usually have to do plus limo plus our adult beverages and food along the way - will be far less than a decent season ticket without parking or any food costs.
