This sums it up for me totally, although I'm only an hour away from the stadium. The sheer cost also keeps me, and likely others away. 30 dollars to park, 200 dollars (minimum) for tickets, 10 dollar beers, etc. I can watch at home, and in warm weather, watch on the covered patio, with a grille, a 30 pack for the price of two beers, NFL ticket, no hassles, no traffic, or DUI concerns. As I've gotten older, it's too easy to just be comfortable. I do miss the tailgating atmosphere, but not enough to go anymore.
