Some Bear fans are going to pay a thousand dollars and more for a ticket to the game on Sunday. Plus forty for the privilege to park, and untold money on concessions. For this amount of money, you will be sitting in a cramped seat, in below freezing temperatures, and missing action while standing in line to relieve yourself of all that beer you have consumed, and the cold slapped together food. All of this just to say, I was there.
On the other hand, that money spent on the ticket, could have been well spent on a HDTV, which you could watch over and over again, after the game. The money spent for parking could be spent on about four cases of beer. Invite several friends, and after pitching in a nominal sum, have a feast fit for a king, while watching the game in the comfort of a nice warm home and a private bathroom. Besides after the game you are not fighting crowds and traffic. Instead your are all ready home, still enjoying yourself with your friends.
Win or loose, you are a winner since you have that TV, and in two weeks you can watch, drink and feast again in comfort as you enjoy the super bowl on your great TV.

I said it once, but don't know if it went through. Men are dumb,what more is there to say
To s.s. At one time I would have agreed with you, that stupidity was a domain ruled only by men. But in their fight for equality, women have wormed their way into that world also, and no longer are they an island of sanity, that we looked to.
People pay thousands of dollars to go risk their life on Mt. Everest, too, when they could be at home in a warm bed. It's the adventure! It's the memory! It's being able to say you were there! Beer is expensive, though. I will say this...watching the games on TV, and how quickly some of the athletes cover 40 yards on a pass route, your eyes tend to start believing TV yards are closer to feet in length. But when you're actually there, jeez...those guys are fast and it's a lot easier to understand why the quarterback didn't get rid of the ball. But I agree, a pro game experience isn't a trip to the opera...it's waaaaay overpriced.
Am I to understand, that since you are NOT going to the playoff game, you are going to purchase an HDTV, and host a party??????????
Hurrahhhhh!!!! How about a 52" flat screen for my new family room?
They may be talented, and they may be fast, but they lack the most important ingredient. That is heart for the game, and it shows in how they play.
Lack of heart....true, true. Pro games do have a certain synthetic feel akin to watching a computer pit a couple of teams against each other. Guys performing for a paycheck.
P.S. I'll take one of those flat screens, too! :-)
I may be old, and I might be wearing a red suit, but don't confuse me with Santa Claus. Besides I am retired and retired=fixed income. So you and Jane will be waiting a while for those flat screen TVs.
