NFL HOME DAY!

Redskin's Season Ticket Holder for over 20 years... stopped this past season. Remorse? No, not at all. Actually, as I reflect and compare a season of football at home in front of the TV, to going to the games and tailgating, there is no comparison. The food is better, the atmosphere... I control, and the money and amount of quality time I saved was irreplaceable. If anything, I felt guilty for thinking about what I had missed over the last 20 years, @ home with my wife, friends and family.


As for NFL Game Day, here are 13 things I do not miss before the game even starts!



  • COST OF TICKETS
  • TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE TO USE THAT EXTRA TICKET
  • LEAVING THE HOUSE FOR 8 HOURS
  • DEPARTING @ 9:30a.m. EVERY SUNDAY
  • PACKING UP THE GRILL, FOOD and DRINKS
  • HAVING A "ROADY" or TWO ALONG THE WAY
  • DRIVING IN TRAFFIC
  • DRIVING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT of DRUNKS and "UNRULY" OPPOSING FANS
  • PARKING NEXT TO OBNOXIOUS HOME FANS
  • HAVING TO USE THE WOODS or OUTHOUSE
  • PACKING UP THE TAILGATE PARTY
  • WAITING TO ENTER THE STADIUM (Security)
  • GETTING TO YOUR SEAT and SEEING SOMEONE IN IT


Next week... WHAT I DO NOT MISS ABOUT THE GAME ITSELF!

Please sahre your thoughts and ideas about the NFL Game Day experience!
I look forward to hearing different points of view.
