Because I live in KS, I dont get too many Iowa State games, so I always went to Buffalo Wild Wings and watched games. I normally ended up spending 25 bucks each time when I go watch the game and realize it would be cheaper and rather spend $8 a month for like 4-5 months and watch the games at home.

So far, it has been great investments.... I can watch all the games from non-major conferences and good soccer games!

Heck, I've been paying $8.95 per month for Clonezone.

Yeah... Seriously.... The best tickets for 2 I could find were Sect 222 row 13 and it came out to $43.00. Tickets might be cheap, but it is the rest of it that goes with it.

Norwalk takes me 45 minutes to drive up... 45 minutes back at 10pm and then waking up at 5 am to get ready for work.

I would love to go... Don't get me wrong. But unless I can eat at your place for FREE or get FREE gas or FREE drinks at the game.. Can't really justify it.

I've been a big fan of the sports pac. Besides all the college sports you also get to watch all the crappy hunting and fishing shows on sportsmans channel. They are pretty entertaining...

I prefer pizza Chuck....please prepare that as well.

Think of how the rest of the U.S. feels. They paid for ESPNU and they get to watch all Iowa night on ESPNU!

Great for us, but I imagine they are pretty disappointed!

**greatshu** · 12-09-2008, 11:38 AM

Do I have to have ESPNU to watch tonight's game if I live in Ames and have a dish? My friend wanted to know.... Thanks:)

Eat at home, gas is $1.50ish, and they have water fountains. Come to the game!

So lets see, I drive up to the game... $10 Gas (cheap now)
Buy two tickets for me and wife ... $41.05 Sect 222 row 13
Supper if we did fast food.. $13.00
Drinks at game or whatever.... $10.00

Total $74.05

Mediacom $5.00 2 state games on

Hmmmm... as much as I love giving ISU money. This time of the year doesn't work. Christmas is coming and we are a broke newlywed couple...

Makes sense

I forgot to add in that post....

I can drink beer at home and not worry about driving..

I can have whatever I want to eat...

And cstrunk... Beer > water.... nough said.

If I recall...ESPNU is not even on the expanded basic package for mediacom...it's in the pay for more "sports pack". Not sure on D-TV

Will a nice chunk of Iowa miss out on their own in-state games?

Just pay $5 to get the sports package from mediacom. It's only $5!!!
