It's funny. I used to love how much everyone cared so much and got so into the games. After a while, it became the opposite. It started to seem disturbing that adults got so hysterical about a bunch of millionaires playing a game.
I'm passionate about sports, but it just seemed like half of the people there blew a month's pay on season tickets and just became unhinged. The "derpa derr, Carl Peterson terk err jerbs" crowd made the games unenjoyable to attend.
I'm perfectly happy to watch at a bar or in a living room. I still like going to college games, but you'd have to pay me a small fortune to go to 10 Chiefs games. Honest to God, I don't know if I would attend all 10 games from start to finish for less than $10,000. $5,000 wouldn't be enough, especially when you factor in the December games when it's freezing and windy.

Yep, and it's funny how I've been here long enough to go through a similar experience while on CP. In college, I'd jump at the chance to go to games, wonder why people weren't more upset when they lost, and then call people fair-weather for acting like it wasn't a big deal at all and laughing at how some take it so seriously...... and a dozen years later, I'm the one who laughs at people when they say talk about how a loss ruins their week (which never really happened for me, even though I used to get bummed for a day or two).
For the past several years, I've gone to games at a deep discount or just in exchange for food/beer whenever a STH friend can't get rid of a ticket... it can still be a good time, especially with the larger CP gatherings, but not when one game + parking equals the cost of a month of cable & internet.
