Actual game is so much better at home or bar.

This is a bucket list thing for me and I am at a point in my life where I comfortable and special time and memories with my kids are hard to beat. I'm taking my daughter to the game Sunday, I could watch it at home, but we wouldn't talk about it 10 years from now. The Superbowl we would, but not in the same way as if we were there, win or lose. I'm a huge Hawkeye fan as well and never went to a bowl because they meant nothing. The only post season game I've went to for the Hawks was the Big 10 Championship vs. MSU, because something was on the line. I look at my friends who've went to bowl games almost every year and this purchase makes a little more sense with the spend.

My dad took me when I was 19. Steelers vs Cowboys. We could give a **** about either team but he had an opportunity to get two 20 yard line 5th row seats for $1,500 total so we went. It’s an awesome memory. In some ways, I’m glad it was teams I didn’t care about because it was stress free. When I went to game 2 of the ‘14 WS, I was a nervous wreck the whole time. Have a blast

I took my son to the '14 WS game 2 as well. Nervous, but we had a great time and great memories. Yordano's pitched well (RIP), and it was a great game.

Indeed.
