Going to games

Postby Captainzach1 » Wed Jul 25, 2012 6:26 pm

Anyone on here go to college or pro games often?

I live where Wake Forest is located so I usually go to a few of their games each year even though I'm not a fan. Some good teams come through here sometimes. VT and Notre Dame last year (didn't get to go to ND game)

This year I'm going to UNC-Wake Forest and I'll be making my first trip to Knoxville to see the Tennessee-Florida game. I'm hoping to work a Panthers game in as well.

Anyone else?

I haven't been to a game in a few years. I actually prefer the comfort of my own couch over going to a game...

The wife and I try to go to the Redskins vs Cowboys game every year. No college games yet. Been to a few Wizards games and will also try to go to a Nationals game this year.

same here. Though I've been to Lambeau Field 8 or 9 times over the past 20 years, and every one is a memorable trip! I do regret that I haven't been to a Big Ten game yet - need to make the trip to Madison and do the Bucky!

So far... I've been to 1 CIS Football game, 1 Blue Jays game and 1 Olympic semi-finals soccer match.

I want to go to a Bills game (only cuz they are the closest to where I live)

Wake games are fun for a small stadium like it is, good athomsphere.

I go to Michigan football games 2-3 times a year, and I usually go to the Bears v Lions game at Ford Field. However, I would definitely rather relax on my couch & watch the Lions on he big screen, with the red zone channel on the PC. Plus, driving to Detroit, dealing with traffic, & driving home takes the entire day.

Not on a regular basis, but I have been to a couple of Eagles games through the years. I saw Barry Sanders when the Lions came to town. I also saw Elway when the Broncos were in Philadelphia.

Before my wife and I had our daughter, we used to travel and make it a point to see games at different stadiums. I saw Randy Moss play in Minnesota and Dan Marino play his final regular season game in Washington.

We've also seen games in Denver (after Elway retirement) and in Tampa...

Please do, the economy could use the help!

I usually go to a Bills game once a year or so when a buddy has an extra ticket, but I'd much rather sit in my underpants and surround myself with the soothing warm glow of electronic information.

Was talking it over with my brothers this week and we've decided to start a tradition this year. We're gonna visit a different stadium each year, while scheduling it with attempts to see some of the top players. We'll start in the North East, since that is where we're from and then eventually branch out further.
