There's no transit for me. It's 10+ hours of driving, parking and fighting traffic plus six+ hours eating, drinking, and watching the game. It's a whole weekend. I admit that it isn't too much once or twice per year though. Not doing that is just me being a pussy.
The Rose Bowl isn't out of the picture. Something is in the works with some old friends and I might give in and join. Haven't been to one and this could be the last shot for this old man.
I'll probably go to the Rose Bowl if we make it this year. Might be my last chance while living in SoCal and to be able to take multiple generations.

Exactly me. 33 years. This is year 1 without tickets. I went to 3 home and 1 away. Up though 2019 I went to 9+ games a year.
The things you mention, plus game times, plus shitty atmosphere (need jump around at the end of the 3rd), plus woke bullshit... I need to walk a way for a bit and get some perspective.
I rolled my 2020 season tickets into 2021. I didn't make it up to a single and gave up after trying to give away free tickets to numerous frens. Losing to Montana will make a shitty ticket even shittier I suppose.

I've never been happier and grumpier than I am at this stage of life. Maybe I need to get some of them fancy designer bi polar drugs. Or buy a Corvette.

Wait a minute. This was woosh. God damn you!
First game I went to was with my dad in 79. Went to every home game but one since. Graduated in 90. Hit at least the Arizona trip every year since 93 and usually maybe Northern Cal or Oregon trip. Averaged 8 games a year at least.
Took over my dads tickets during the Ty era when he was done with UW football. Added a few seats during the Ty era purge of ticket holders, (better seats for me). A fairly easy trip on the charter bus we’ve had since the beginning from Auburn. 45 minutes or so.
The Covid year games were the first and only home games I’ve ever seen on TV live
I pretty much win a prize as the biggest dipshit on the bored who hates money I try and talk myself into walking away, when in reality, if I didn’t go, it would open up more time for golf or working on the old cars. And either one would probably cost more in the long run.
FML.
PS. If anyone wants to ride a charter bus, we got room. About 30 bucks a seat. Includes ride to and from and parking. Bring your own booze. Mixer and cups provided. In case anyone wants back on the Boner Wagon but doesn’t want to drive.

I want to have my cake and eat it to on this one
I want UW to be a 72k sellout every single home game so I can appreciate the atmosphere...on my television.
Going to games remains fun, though

The fans are an after thought. Yet the top programs still pack the house..

The DoogBros are STOKED and think the crowds are great.
I saw empty seats in the upper decks at the Iron Bowl this year.
Saw some at Michigan too couple weeks ago in shitty weather.
