Am I Alone?

I go to a bar but only a Cowboys bar.

For me, that's a very close second. If you with a bunch friends and there's a happy hour, you can get alot of the live stadium feel that you miss at home in a sports bar.

I would honestly prefer to watch the game in the comfort of my own home then go to AT&T stadium. I think the novelty of watching the game at the game really took hold before televisions and the only way to participate was to listen to it on the radio. Then there was the black and white TV, and of course, being at the game still trumped any other experience.

But now, I have a 73" HD television that I can watch the game on or I can opt to either spend over $100 to park and eat at the game (that's after the price of admission, mind you) or spend around $50 and walk 2 miles to get to my seat. At home, I can grill up better food than what even the stadium has to offer, I can pause the game for restroom/other breaks, and all of this from the comfort of my couch. Name a seat in AT&T stadium more comfortable then my couch? Jerry Jones seat is less comfortable then my couch.

Am I the only one who thinks the going to the game experience as become overpriced and overrated?

The only problem I have of you watching the game at home rather than at AT&T is that your Tv is too small. Get a 100" HD

I'm working on it...

For those of us who get to go to one game a year (if that), the stadium is an experience that is well worth it. You get to watch all sorts of things that TV does not show, plus getting to high-five random strangers just because you're wearing the same jersey is fun. Granted, watching at home lets me concentrate on the game more, but you also get swayed with what the announcers say. You get to form your own opinions watching the game live.
I don't particularly like the long walks for parking, or the $10 sodas, but every true cowboys fan must attempt the haj at least once.

I have to agree with this 100 percent. I get to go to maybe one game a year if I'm lucky and I wouldn't trade those trips for anything. If I had the chance to go more often I'm sure the novelty would wear off, but when I go to a game it's all Cowboys all the time. The whole weekend is nothing but Cowboys and it's so much fun having the camaraderie with the other fans before, during, and after the game.

On occasion going to a game with friends is more enjoyable than watching at home. Week in and week out I'd prefer to watch in the man cave.

I can see that. Given the right situation and the right seats with the right people..with maybe a hookup...and maybe it would be worth it.

I've only been to one NFL game. Oilers at Eagles in the early nineties. It was the weekend Eric Williams was in the car accident. The entire experience was interesting and I'm glad I was able to partake in it but from strictly a game watching perspective I much prefer the couch and the flat screen.

I Didn't find it interesting, it ruined my career.

Going to the Philly game, which will be my second game. My first game was in 2010 after Romo broke his collarbone and there was nothing to play for. I enjoyed it, but it was a letdown because the season was essentially over. This time around, I expect it to be a pretty important game. So I am looking forward to it.

That being said, I prefer watching the game from home. There are no outside distractions and I can focus on the game, watch replays, etc. And with the cost savings and the quality of the TV's these days, it just makes a lot more sense.

Agree 100 percent but I do want to go once before I enter the great beyond.

I watch alone at home and I mean alone.

I just walk straight into the bathroom and go right to a stall, pee, and wash my hands. It's not my fault everyone in line doesn't realize there's always an empty stall. Lol. I never wait in line at the bathroom.

Some dude peed in the sink at a Braves game I was at a few years back. I thought the crowd was gonna pummel him to death.

I bow to your shrine of manliness. What a setup!!

My wife is a pretender and both of my sons are too young to appreciate the game, so to a certain extent the majority of the time I watch alone, as well. The people that are there are only distractions, so to a certain extent, I envy you.

I prefer going to non-Cowboys games where I don't care if I miss a play or two.

I also prefer college games when going to the game.

Alone? I can't imagine why that is 187beatdown.

It probably wasn't the best decision to mount the heads of Eagles fans in my dining room, I'll admit.

If you are in Philly, I can understand, but here in Dallas that would make for a great museum.

Wait...is there a sign underneath their head explaining their affiliations? If not, you should seriously consider it. Otherwise, it could be very misleading.

People might think your a murderer...when that's more of a mercy killing than anything.

Game experience is better imo. Home doesn't even compare to any live game

Screen with you completely although I would go to a NFC title game and because I live in Santa Clara I would go to the Super Bowl I just hope and pray the Cowboys will be joining me by playing in Sant Clara in Feburary
