It worked out perfectly because I had a friend who lived up the street from campus and he split them 50/50 with me, so having a place to stay for free and the ability to go down every other weekend was great. However, I won't have that luxury this upcoming fall and I'm debating on whether I should get them again. I know that if I lived close I would have already re-upped for 2019, and probably have a basketball package as well.

But I know most who graduate don't come back, which should be something ODU should focus on, even for some alumni friends I have who still live in the area. It's been mentioned on this board about what ECU does for the students while they are students, it would be nice to see ODU come up with something like this moving forward.

I drive over 4 hours each way for football games. Its only 6 times a year. I had to drop my basketball tickets when I moved away, but football isnt so bad. You can do it.

I drove 5+ for football from PA for the first two season, but it just go to be too much. Now I try to make it down once or twice a season, wish it could be more

I understand. It is hard. My wife just wants to go to a couple games a year, but I talked her into keeping season tix this year for the new stadium. If 2020 looks like it might be good I may be able to keep it up, but if we suck it will be a hard sell.
