It's just too much money.

 

[Sperrydogg]

I can’t justify it. It’s not even a $$ thing. I’ve been fortunate and blessed as far as that goes.

The total and complete hassle of flying, staying in a hotel room, dealing with the amount of traffic and clustering…

I promised my son at least one line Hawks game a year…living just outside of Cincy, we have quite the radius to attend games. 7-8 teams in a very drivable distance.

We went to Nashville to watch the Hawks this season. While the trip was great overall, I was quickly reminded as to how grouchy I get as I age. Waiting 15 minutes to take a piss had me mildly enraged.

I can’t imagine how irritated I’d be at a SuperBowl.

I’m trying not to get grouchy as I age. I keep finding myself in a bad mood over stuff I could control, but somehow I’m grumpy… I’m sick of it

Sporting hawks gear at Fisherman’s Wharf.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Not going to the game, but I did take a quick lunch break and somehow ended up at the team shop in Renton.

I am calling it right now, there will be more Seahawks fans than Patriots fans at Levi's Stadium on February 8

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Easy call, and you're right

 

[Hawknight]

If you had the nerve, you could likely wait close to the last second and snag seats at a somewhat reasonable cost. The current prices are simply outrageous.

That's my game plan as I live close to Santa Clara. Wish me luck

 

[James in PA]

You know things are getting real when grocery stores in my neck of the woods actually have Seahawks stuff!

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I'm digging all the buildings and houses in seahawk blue and green. Sure, I live 15 miles from Seattle, but still. The buzz is strong.

 

[Ruminator]

Sure was nice of the NFL to choose the closest possible location geographically for Seattle's Super Bowl domination. And except for maybe Los Angeles, it's just about the furthest possible for the Pats.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Can give them a built-in excuse. It's soooooooo far to travel.

 

[Ruminator]

Seattle itself being the only exception to the "closest possible location" but we all know they'll never let Seattle host. Unless someone spends a lot of money weather-proofing the venue.

Well, they did let New Jersey host number 48, and the potential for bad weather there is a lot worse. The weather was unseasonably warm for that game, but it ended up snowing the next day.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No doubt, the timing was incredible. I had friends who were lucky enough to get out of there before the storm rolled in.

 

[RehireMora]

I get the idea of waiting until the last moment, because what's the value of cardboard to the scalpers? Does anyone have an idea of how cheap they can drop down to?

Shoot, watch the first quarter on your phone and see a scalper crying and offer a few bucks, why not?

 

[Ruminator]

NOW I know why all those colors in the Super Bowl LX logo look kind of famliar!

 

[Aircrew]

It's just too much money.

Yes.

If I can no longer justify the cost and the pain-in-the-ass/hassle factor for even regular season games, then the Superbowl is a non starter. When you weigh in the cost of even the most affordable seats (yes, I tried to type that with a straight face), the juice just isn't worth the squeeze.

For a fraction of the money you could literally do all of the following and still have a sizable sum left to spare:

• Buy the biggest, nicest flat screen you can fit into your house.
• Buy the best sound system Costco has.
• Have the entire event catered.
• Buy nothing but top shelf booze.
• Invite all your friends and family (ok, maybe just friends).
• Hire a cleaning service to come in the next day and take care of the mess.

I'd rather do that, or a version of that, and never wait in line for the head.

For those who listen to 710 ESPN Seattle, Reek is going to be on there in a bit here. Will be an interesting listen for sure.
Just a heads up

With all this friends and possibly family, how many bathrooms do you have??!
