I've watched games in Bryant-Denny, Sanford, Neyland, and the Georgia Dome, but I still find myself preferring to watch the games from home. The atmosphere is great and I always have a good time, but I like watching games from home more. I guess it's because I can get a upclose look at the game with all the cameras. I've been offered tickets (for free) and turned them down specifically because I want to watch it from home. Anyone else like this or just me?

That's kinda like saying you know I've noticed I really much prefer watching people have sex on TV than actually participating. I've actually turned down sex to watch porn. Anyone else like this or just me?

Not really. I'd rather sit at home with free food, cushioned seat, plenty of arm room, beer, no line for bathrooms, and a in the huddle view with replay, than to watch from 200 yards away with some drunk fan screaming in my ear, and having to move for someone walking down the row constantly.

I much rather be at the game then watch it at home. I get what your saying though. unless you got decent seats, you actually have a better view of the game from home with all the hd cameras now.

To me if you have seats in the upper deck than you actually do get a better view from tv. With that said I much rather be at the game.

The games are only 3 hours. Eat before the game and after.

Honestly to me nothing compares to the game environment. I'd rather starve at the game than eat steak and lobster at home.

I'd rather be at a house with all my friends. Beer, no post-game traffic, and I can keep up with other games. AT&T 3G coverage doesn't exist in Death Valley.
