I enjoy attending games live, but there are a ton of factors that go into why I don't do it as often as I used to.
For me one of the biggest reasons is time. I live in Virginia now, that is a long-arse haul. But even if I were within a few hours of Auburn it would still be an all-day event to attend a game. I can watch a game on TV in a few hours and do other stuff during the day. To attend a game live requires driving, parking, tailgating, the game itself, waiting for traffic to die down, etc.
Expense. With almost every game on tv, I can watch for pretty much no marginal cost, whereas going to games requires buying a ticket (prices on tix have gone up a lot in recent years), gas to get there, parking, eating a few meals out, etc. It all adds up.
Options. With HDTV, bigger screens, and coverage of most games it is easier and more comfortable than ever to watch at home. You can actually see what is going on better. Bathrooms are right there. You can pause the game and get a drink/snack.
Really, I think the atmosphere is the main thing that going live has over watching on tv.
