My point. I totally agree with the premise of live sports benefit, but it’s gotten out of hand in most areas. If our family of 6 wanted to go together to support a sibling in a soccer match, for example, it is $40 for the family with no concessions (5x$8). There are 14 matches. If we went as a family to support one kid at every match in a season… $40x14=$560. Again…this is ONE kid’s sport. all FOUR of them play sports and it’s $8/person to attend ANY sporting event except XC which is $10 per vehicle per event. 4 kids playing multiple HS sports and you add it up… it costs $thousands to attend and support each other as a family. Amateur sports, and great mental health benefit, but it needs to return to an era where families could afford tickets to live sports.

Take a family of 6 to MLB, NFL, NBA, MLS, all are prohibitively expensive and impossible for most to do more than once per season, if that. Season tickets to any of these… yeah, that’s rich souls’ territory.
