My mom refuses too now. She had season tickets for years but they got too expensive now she won't do it. I do take her to a game once a year but I pay. She has paid for enough in my life she deserves a treat. I just made my mom sound like a puppy at the end there.
Same story here. Except it was during the Jim Donnan years, so my parents weren't getting their money's worth for the entertainment either. But they gave up as prices and hassle kept getting higher and higher.
I like the baby boomer angle.
When the boomers start dying off, there aren't going to be millions of upper middle class alumni to pay thousands of dollars for seats, and these schools are going to be shucked at fudpuckers for their greed.

Poor people complaining. Here is what is expected of the poor fans. Continue to support your team by buying tee shirts and ball caps at Wal-Mart. Every now and then a more wealthy relative or friend will throw you a pair of tickets to a game they don't want to go to. Of course you will still bitch about the gas it took to drive to the game and the $20 it cost you to park. Just lay off the PBR for a couple of weeks to make up for it.
I'm a Razorback season ticket holder and I live in the Carolinas. Travel to many away games as well. You cannot beat the SEC game day experience (minus Vandy), which is something you can't get watching your 60in TV on the couch in your trailer.
BTW, don't forget to continue to make your payments on that TV, otherwise Aaron's Lease to Own will repossess it.

Their kids will probably fill in the gap, but given the lousy economy of the past 5-6 years, their impact won't be as big due to prioritizing expenses.
