Sorry if this should be OT but it is Rams related. Mods feel free to move if necessary and my apologies. That said....
My Mrs. Candy is getting me a football related birthday present in advance. I've got 2 options I'm kind of in a quandry over. Nice problem to have I must admit..
Option 1: Her first idea is that we go to a Ram game this year. Looking at the Seattle game on October 19th as it's 2 days before my birthday. No brainer you say? lol There's more.. Being a country girl, she will not drive in St. Louis, so we'd be looking at getting a room for 2 days (the Saturday night before included), plus the cost of the game, not to mention tailgating. That could run over $500. After having many man sodas for the game, I'm not driving either... I don't need a costly DUI.
Option 2: Got the bill from Direct TV for Sunday ticket and it was like wow.. $240 for it. Hence, Sunday ticket is now in play for the birthday present. I like having the option of watching any game I want to watch after the Rams. There's nothing wrong with a big screen TV, your own grill, and many cold frosty ones and staying at home. We're also looking at adding solar power to the house and I have to get something going on keeping the wind out of the crawl space of our older house. I'm thinking Sunday Ticket may be the most frugle route to go.
That said, last year was the first in awhile I've missed attending one game. Hate to make it 2 years in a row, yet being self sufficient in power may be worth it.... Not saying the game will cover the costs of solar, but all things are culmlative.
Thanks for your time folks and letting me vent my ideas... Vote in the poll if you wish.
