How many FB/MBB games do you attend a year? (primary team)
This is something I've wondered about the posters on this board. Really just interested in FB/MBB. I rarely see posters talk about their weekly game experiences (aside from our conference board) and wonder how many are lucky enough to attend the games. Also, I know many attend multiple games for teams they don't root for or a secondary team, etc... this is just for your #1 favorite team. If you answer for one sport and not the other I'll just assume it's choice #3, so you might as well pick it.

Feel free to post your answers too (including OLY sports).

I never miss a FB game if I can help it (haven't missed one since I entered school as a freshman in '09). I try to go to as many Basketball games as possible but they often conflict with school/work or other obligations. I'd go to all if I could, but it's just sometimes for now. Add the fact I have to actually buy season tix as a young grad even though I'm still in school. I couldn't justify buying them for basketball since I'm a broke student and have undergrad friends who can get guest tix for me.

Haven't seen a football game since graduating (so last game was vs. Michigan in 08). Working Saturdays now (which does suck this time a year), but ticket prices make hard to justify, especially since I'd probably be getting more than one.

Haven't really seen many men's basketball either, but am going to get tickets for one game this year.

I attend all Pitt home football games... It's a damn blast. I'm at the point that Pitt has surpassed the Steelers. It's a great time down Heinz and gawd I love tailgating even if it's a breakfast tailgate.

I voted twice for the basketball because I expect to only go to 2 games this year. That'll be the first in a long time though. I was a season ticket holder.

I live in Dallas and go to four or five SMU FB games per year. I'm a season ticket holder.

I've only been to two SMU BB games in my life, but I'll be going to a lot more now that SMU is in the AAC w/UConn and the new BB arena opens next month (Moody Coliseum received a $40+ million makeover).

Sadly, I don't get to UConn games very often.

I usually make it to at least a couple of SU fb games per year and have been to an away game. But I take in about 4-6 basketball games per year. Always a fun time. Sometimes its tough for me to get to the bb games living in Rochester and going about 190 miles round trip and paying thruway tolls and getting blasted by sudden, unpredicted lake affect snowstorms where visibility is near zero. I always go to the Syracuse spring game for football though.

I’m a season ticket holder for both FB and MBB. Philly is a 2 hour ride from me so some weeknight BBall games can be tough, however I do get to some of the bigger weeknight games like tonight vs St Joes. I will be at 9 games this year at home and also the Penn, Rutgers, and LIU games away. FB this season I made it to 4 home games and the road trip to the SMU game.

Season ticket holder for Football, also go to most in-state road/neutral games and drive-able bowls.

Haven't been to a basketball game since 1997, but that will change soon I, as I am going to the game in Raleigh vs NCSU 12/21.

My job for years involved attending high school, junior college, college and pro games. I was at a game every day of the weekend through football season and almost every night during basketball and baseball seasons. When I left sports writing, I haven't been to any games other than those my children or grandchildren were participating in.

What did you think of SMU? From what I remember, the weather was cooler than normal.

Football- All Home games and 2-6 on the Road depending on where they are and what I have going on.

Basketball- As many as possible, but generally in the 5-8 range.

10 out of a possible 10. I really like the University Park section of Dallas and came pretty close to moving there a few years back. I'ts definitely a road trip i will be making again.

I have season tickets but I usually end up giving them away.

I go to 3 or 4 games at most in Tuscaloosa and probably 1 or 2 in Lafayette.

0 basketball games.

CofC does not have a football team, but as a student, I go to almost all basketball games (haven't missed one since November of 2011), a good portion of the baseball home games (at least half) and some road games.

When they play at The Citadel I usually go, and this year, since they changed conferences to the CAA, I plan to go to Wilmington for a game.

Have only missed one home game since I started school in 2009. Try and go to at least 2 or so road games a year as well.

Used to go to more basketball games, but maybe 0-5 a year now
