Realistically, could you afford a teams playoff run as a fan

Let’s take Oregon
They started with a home game which you have to pay for tickets to attend
Travel to Miami for tickets and flights and hotels
Travel to Atlanta for tickets and flights and hotels
Travel to Miami for tickets and flights and hotels
It might cost $10,000 minimum to do all that for two people

It probably wouldn’t be the best financial decision, but yes. I probably would spend that.

I could see the cost being doable for a lot of people, myself included, except the NC game. Stay in a hotel an hour or so from the stadium, sit in nosebleeds, drive instead of fly. It’d be a big spend but I could make it work and it’d be worth it imo. Apart from the cost, I think getting the time off work would be a problem for a lot of people wanting to go to every playoff game.

Think it would cost minimum 10K just to travel/ hotel & tickets to the national championship game.
Good point you bring up, wild to think what it costs nowadays.
I’d enjoy watching all games then attend Natty

Host playoff game parties and invite everyone over for PENNIES on the dollar.
Yes. I can afford that.
——————————
I understand the OP; (not taking a shot at you) however, one doesn’t have to attend every playoff game. The fact that fans want the most expensive roster money can buy… the best facilities, the best fan experience and then complain that ticket prices are going up means there is some kind of economic illiteracy going on.
Watch from home and / or budget in a game here or there!
But quit complaining about ticket prices that you don’t have to pay.

No. It’s why these games need to be played on campus until the semi finals.

Yeah, it's gonna get old after the shine wears off. It all needs to move up a week so first two rounds can be on campus and semi finals on NYD.

Hell no, I couldn’t even afford one round much less three

Natty alone for hotels is in a Miami or New Orleans type place are a 2 night minimum $600 or so a night. Flight, hotel, food, Your around $3k before you even buy the tickets to the Natty (2 ppl).
I would do the home game and then Natty at most. No way I could do the rest.
Hotel Rates in Nola last night weren’t that bad. You could get a room for about $350. If you booked before the SEC championship they were some under $300.
I guess doing round 1 and then quarterfinals would be a hell of an experience as well. Watch the rest on TV.

Unless I'm retired, I wouldn't even try to go to all the games. I might go to the first 2 games if driving to Eugene was an option. I'd watch from home after the Orange Bowl.
Posted on 1/2/26 at 9:38 am to nicholastiger
I could, but I wouldn’t. More comfortable to watch the game in my home. Granted I’m an old fart.

What normal fan can get that much time off from work?
Posted on 1/2/26 at 9:41 am to nicholastiger
Yes but those tix from MSY are super cheap
Posted on 1/2/26 at 9:43 am to nicholastiger
It’s the same as the road to the Final 4. 3 different destinations.
Posted on 1/2/26 at 9:46 am to nicholastiger
2019 cost me a ton of money and that was only with 4 playoff teams and the championship in the city I live in. No way I could do more games with multiple out of town stays
Posted on 1/2/26 at 9:48 am to nicholastiger
It’s ridiculous that Miami and Ole Miss are playing in Phoenix and Oregon and Indiana are playing in Atlanta
Posted on 1/2/26 at 10:16 am to nicholastiger
No which is one of many reasons why it's retarded that these games aren't played on campus
Posted on 1/2/26 at 10:27 am to nicholastiger
Telling my wife i blew 120% of our vacation budget on football games does not seem like it it would be in my best interest.
