Not every day/week, but once or twice a season, sure.

We have season tickets for both Redskins and Capitals home games.
So..yes?

Nope. I rarely go see any professional sports teams, partly because of the cost, but also because of the amount of other people at professional sporting events. I prefer to go to some local minor leauge games. For example: the last hockey game I went to was a minor leauge team (the Colorado Rage). It was a great time in a smaller stadium, so every seat is a good seat. Our team kicked some ass, parking was free, beer was cheap, and the tickets to the game were only $5. It was a much more enjoyable time than any professional game I’ve ever been to.

There is no way. If I m going to waste money on entertainment, I would rather spring for the opera or a good ballet.

I’ve been dying to see the Cleveland Cavs live for the past couple years, but with Lebron and now Shaq, tickets are at least $250 a piece. So I’ll settle for sitting at home with some junk food and chilling with my cat. speaking of, a game just started!

I save money to go to games, but I am an absolute freak when it comes to football.

Also, down here since the Dolphins aren’t having a stellar season, it’s a little easier to get tickets the same week of the game through friends and stuff.

I got to see Peyton Manning on Monday night and considering that he is one of the best QBs of all time, it will be nice to know that I got to see him perform live in one of his signature 4th qtr comebacks.

There is nothing to me like the energy of the game, which really affects my decision to spend money on games. For other people, they may not have the passion that I have for attending games and therefore the money isn’t worth it.

Good sports and good concerts are the ways I enjoy spending a little extra money.
