Thought about going, checked ticket prices, hotel and flights and it was coming out to around 3k per person(9k for my family). After the holidays that's a lot of scratch, decided we're going to watch it at the house.

Bingo. Was going to run wife and I somewhere around $4500 and that was being as cheap as possible. So the 60" will have to do

I feel ESPN and the conferences will have to address the financial aspect of this new playoff for the average fan. With the economy etc, it appears many are not going due to over the top costs.
With the old BCS, you had 5 weeks to book travel etc. this left time to plan Christmas, New Years and still have money for the game

I said this was gonna be a big issue for the playoffs when it was announced two years ago. The expense of traveling to two bowl games across the country for most fans, around the holidays, is going to kill attendance. They need to move the first round to a home game for the higher seed.
