Why anyone would go to a game in person when they can watch it from the comfort of their home, be able to follow all of the nuances of the game thanks to replays, etc., and have easy access to cheaper nourishment and a comfortable bathroom is beyond my level of understanding.

Let me use the 2012 LSU/Alabama game as a reference.

I like to go to the games because while the players are warming up I can watch Russell Shepard chunk a football 2/3 of the way up the student section to fire up the crowd. I like to be at the games because when you are in a tv timeout after the 3rd quarter, I get to see half of the LSU team run to the student section and jump up and down with the crowd. I like to be at that games because I can watch the Alabama players body language as they are trotting off of the field while LSU is beating them down. I like to watch the game in person because if LSU had held on to win we were about to have the biggest party with 90,000 of our friends that Tiger Stadium has ever known.

And then you know what I can do on Sunday? I watch a replay of the game on television and see everything that you saw the night before.
