great seats at a football game are insanely expensive. unless you're connected, stay home.
and as was mentioned, short plays, and there are a TON of short plays, are horribly boring in person. stay home and watch on tv - it's way more interesting and entertaining.
took my wife to her first and only football game. bears beat the raiders 6-3. boring isn't a big enough word to describe it. we sat in the end zone and aside from constant concerns about our safety, it was the worst thing we've ever done together.
