After my experience last year at the “stayjum”, I would say no to free tickets at AT&T. It’s just not worth all the hassles when I can see the game at home with a much better experience. That’s the biggest problem with AT&T- the traffic, parking, and cost. Just not worth it anymore for me.It's sports in general. I used to go to Pittsburgh Pirates games in the 70s for 65 cents - and they were actually good then. I got season tickets to Ohio State football when I was a student in the 80s - $35 for the entire season. Can't even go to one game for that now.
The Cowboys aren't an anomaly, but they are on the high end. I used to fly 1300 miles - one way - to see a game each season. After a few disappointing trips to Jerryworld - costing twice as much as memorable trips to Texas Stadium - I was done. I haven't gone in about 7 years after doing it every season for over 2 decades (as soon as I was old enough to afford it). At least the Cowboys beat the Skins on MNF my last venture (18-16).
I prefer watching games on my HDTV now. No hassles, no ridiculous prices, and no traveling. Besides, the Cowboys haven't done anything to make me reconsider. I can watch them fail then see Jerry march to the locker room - as if that accomplishes anything - afterwards, as usual. I see it from my couch just fine.
