re: How much do you spend on College Football?

Its’ turned into a corporate entertainment venue financially and a younger man’s game fighting all the above mentioned.

nothing but my $10 IPTV subscription per month. That wasn't always the case, but it will be from now on.

I meant make it and really had a chance of course

It’s interesting people were spending thousands of dollars a year pre NIL and are turned off by NIL. That kind of fan spending is what turned the sport into big business.

Now really think about what you just posited. You’re assuming those who have posted in this thread are responsible for Nil! I for one was a contractor who wore boots everyday. Made a decent living. Made sacrifices to enjoy my favorite sport. I am responsible for today’s mess? Respectfully I think you’re way off. Don’t blame the fans for today’s mess.

in monetary terms, next to nothing. I go to a game or two each year.

But I do pay dearly in mental anguish.

I do currently have season tickets because I have 2 kids in school at Mizzou - so the biggest price is being paid by my liver, especially this year with 6 straight home games to start the season.

In terms of actual $s? Not a lot. Those season tickets are the cheapest available and at the lowest donation level. I also have friends that we can stay with in CoMo or make the drive back home - so I don't have lodging costs. We buy booze / and fund the food for the tailgate one game per year (for 20 or so people). We also travel to a bowl game every year or so. I'd say somewhere around 2K a year (it can be a little more than that depending on that bowl travel). Likely give up the season tickets when (not if) the kids graduate.

One of my alma maters is a D-II school, and the past few years, the conference has had a $20 per month streaming package that I have purchased during football season.

I try to get to one game per year, and that costs $150-200 with gas, tickets, hotel, etc, which I know is nothing compared to going to an FBS game.

As for my FBS alma maters, I just catch the games on TV as I am not spending the money and dealing with the crowds.

I live near Sarasota, FL, and I take my wife to one game a year, which is typically a weak non-conference game.

It's SO MUCH easier to get excellent seats at an affordable price, stress level is low because we typically put these games to bed early, I get to head to a Classic City bar to catch other games, and my wife is just as enthusiastic about the environment/atmosphere/etc. as the game anyway. Hotels are typically available in Athens during these games, albeit still pretty expensive, but worth it to park the car and hoof it the whole weekend.

We used to come back for 2-3 games, but no more. Insanely expensive, travel is a hassle, and the home or sports bar environment is hard to beat at a fraction of the cost.

I think future stadiums will be a smaller footprint, more luxurious, and equipped with modern technology such as functional Wi-Fi and screens on seats. I wouldn't be in favor of this, but those screens would be monetized with ad content, and potentially gambling opportunities given age verification technology is implemented.

That said, we probably invest $3K/year.
