Now I am lucky if I can watch one televised game a year, the rest of the games I stream on ESPN radio using Ted's play by play to create an image in my mind of what is happening on the field. Some of you don't realize how lucky you are to be able to be in the stands watching the Monarchs play; especially in a brand new stadium.

Quite right. You should try to make it on over to a game at FAU or FIU some time. I went to a FAU vs. ODU game in Boca Raton a few years ago and it was a great time.

When I lived in Ft Myers I did drive across the state and watched TH play his last game as a Monarch against FAU. I even saw a few familiar faces and a couple of longtime friends at the game. Now that I live in Sarasota the drive is twice as long but I still hope to make it over for a game in the near future.

I hear you guys. My drive to the games typically is around 10 Hours and that unfortunately means i can only afford to take my family for the games twice or may be thrice if we were able to budget for a plane ride. I seriously envy Alum and fans living in HR or even DC because they get to be at the game with a short drive. I Can't imagine myself or any working class person driving or spending money on air tickets twice or thrice if i were living in South Florida or pan handle. Its just not realistic and i feel your pain. Savor the opportunity to watch the game on a UHD TV and call it a day
