Your points are well taken however it really comes down to personal preference. You want to track all the other scores, fantasy points, weather, news whatever else on the ribbons while being told when to cheer that's fine. Listen and watch all the music, advertisement distraction which is drilled around 99% of the game and non game time experience go for it. I prefer a tail gate before game time experience, bleacher sitting, a band at halftime, purchase a beer and a hotdog from a vendor while in my seat and to focus on the actual game itself while it's being played and yelling until my voice is gone in the 4th quarter. Yes I'm old fashion that way.
For replay, I record the game(s), watch NFL channel later or get the details through the hundreds of sources we have these days.
I guess you don't know me.
I don't even tailgate, I go into the stadium the minute it opens every week and I sit and watch warmups. I basically never move from my seat.
I don't play fantasy football but during the game I like to know what the stats are for the guys in the game I am watching. I pay no attention to the ads, but they are the same in every stadium so you are fooling no one by saying its better somewhere else because those are all league sponsored ads.
I honestly don't care what goes on at halftime to be honest and you couldn't be more wrong again because twice a year here we could a halftime show from some of the best college bands from prairie view and others. They are excellent. Other games we have pop warner kids playing, at halloween the cheerleaders do a halloween themed program and same for christmas. They have female survivors of breast cancer on the field in october for awareness.
We have freddie jones playing the national anthem before every game a tremendous jazz trumpet player.
If you want to buy a hot dog from a vendor in your seat there are more than enough not even sure what you are talking about here.
I go home voiceless basically every week.
And the comment on replays. You wait till you get home to watch replays? this is the most absurd thing i have ever heard. What you are saying is that when a play goes under review you wait until you get home to see the review and replay.......you are saying this to me right after you tell me how locked in you are to the game in the stadium. I don't get it.
and umm, I record every game and save them. I also record the radio broadcast each week. I record the pregame and postgame also.
and finally, yes I like knowing if the other nfc east teams are winning while I am in the stadium if they are playing at the same time. I never bother to go on my phone until after the game so the only way to know is by the out of town scoreboard.
How many games have you been to again in DFW?
I have never seen a weather report so no idea where that comes from.
