O.K. But gotta shop for supplies....
Let's say.... I'm not a big drinker... 1 six at about $6.00.
Then throw in some food - chips and dips along with some fat laden meats for lunch...
say about $5.50 a week.
Breakage in the humble abode in case something goes wrong during any game.
$2.00 a week averaged out for the entire season.
Extra for supplies and cleaning products after friends learn I have the Sunday ticket and just start showing up each week. $8.50 per week.
so.....
$11.71
$ 6.00
$ 5.50
$ 2.00
$ 8.50
=====
$33.71 a week.

Vs

Dropping about $25 to $30 each weeks at the bar.
Don't have to clean up.

Watch in the comfort of my own home - or surround myself with idiots.

Kick back on my couch - sit on a wooden stool, if I can find a seat.

Spend 20 a week watching the game when I want, pausing and rewinding at will, getting up when I want to come chat about the game with fellow Cowboys fans - Spend 40 or 50 (anyone spending 30 bucks for two people over a 3 or 4 hour period is beyond cheap) and watch a game I can't even hear or sometimes see because there are dozens of people around and dozens of different games all on at the same time.

Yeah, it's not a tough choice.
