can't afford to go games look at the website selling tickets, see that the tickets will run them $100/pair and decide their 30k/year salary doesn't afford them that luxury. As a "die-hard" fan that has only attended a handful of games (aside from the time I was a student at the Y) I can honestly say finances are a major consideration. But I also skipped the game at Wisconsin last year because of family commitments that I could have gotten out of. Am I not die-hard simply because I don't attend games?
