I am up 12 facing Buffalos D. My team went into the season with McCaffery, Debo, and Njoku. Hurts sucked yesterday and I still have a chance to win. Here is the bitch of it. I have Singeltery and he had a clear TD but went to the ground so they could just run out the clock. I am probably gonna lose because of that |

I'll bet the price of tickets drops if Indy is out of it and the game is meaningless |

I am not really a fan of going to football games. It is a long day, you can't see as well, you miss all the other games, beers are a fortune and just getting in and out is a mess.
The only place I didn't mind was Seattle because the stadium is right downtown so it was easy for me to take a bus then walk to the stadium. |

The Phoenix stadium was relatively close to the airport (20 min?). Having said that, my Uber to the stadium was $40 my uber back from the stadium was $120

For me, in person football games have gotten to the point that I am pretty upset with myself for going if my team doesn't win. I don't feel that way about basketball or baseball or soccer, but the combo of the price for tickets, how much of my day they eat up time-wise, the traffic/parking situations, and how horribly behaved the majority of crowds are - I just get less and less from going in person and losses feel almost devastating. Maybe they were always this way and I just used to drink more. |

Uber is painful to and from games. The good news for where the Falcons stadium is now, it is an easy to bars and restaurants to kill time. My wife and I just walked past Olympic park and picked up an Uber less than half the price they were showing closer to the stadium when we went last year.

Colts-Texans game last season was going for roughly 2/3 of face value on the second hand market until the week before the game became relevant to the playoff picture. Then it shot up to like 3 or 4x face value. Only reason I know that is because I was planning on going to the game but was waiting to make sure it didn't get flexed before I purchased. When the ticket price went through the roof I decided to stay home.

I feel the same, after just completing that trip. The cost in effort, money and comfort just doesn't seem worth it, unless you can alleviate one of those factors....and yeah, as I said above, thank God they won. If they had lost the whole thing would've felt like a very poor decision.

Post game Ubers are a mess in Pittsburgh unless you’re willing to walk/boat/train off the north shore. Then it’s pretty easy.

Imagine the time, energy and cost to go see the Raiders play their home opener against the lowly Panthers

I have to think Nashville is one of the worst post-game Uber situations around.
I know we went through absolute hell getting one out of that stadium when we did Summerslam there, and I just saw somebody posting about a 4+ hour wait for an Uber to escape a concert in the stadium. That place is just a helluva mess for anything best I can tell.
