    Why do people drive 7 plus hours for a game

    This couple I know is driving 7.5 hrs one way to watch an nfl game..wow. That seems insane to me, for any game let alone a reg season game. How far would you travel for a game

    ya....as a pats fan/season ticket holder....i can remember in the mid to late 90s, when i was in high school, people driving from maine ...they were about 7 hours away...and they were there every week....and people that would tailgate in the same lot as us every week who drove from jersey.....its crazy....but its passion and loyalty....were all a little insane....

    Driven from Chicago to Columbus to see NIU vs Ohio St.

    Was roughly 8 hours. Road sodas made it go quicker, plus playing some stupid golf game on the laptop for money.

    depends if i was going there just to watch the game or spend a couple nights wherever the game is at.

    Certainly wouldnt drive 7.5 hrs watch a game and drive back, not worth it, would much rather just watch on tv than do that

    Would you drive 7.5 hours to watch the game, and have sex on the stadium bathroom?

    I would never drive more than 45 minutes to see an event

    that's pretty much the time it takes to get into the parking lot at an nfl game

    anyone who does it every home game is a retard....a one time shot or annual trip with buds to see a team or a stadium is fine
