Was thinking this morning about how many people out there must be JMU/NDSU fatigued. Probably every other fan base wishes they could be in Frisco and spite these two teams for "always" being there.
There's plenty to do in Washington DC (50 times more than Frisco)- it does not mean I want to spend a weekend or a vacation there (25 miles away) there every year.
While I'm sure there are some fans on both sides that might like to see different teams, I've not seen or heard much fatigue over the teams. Mine and I think others is if you are going to spend thousands of dollars on a day or two trip it would be nice to have it at a place that has complimentary weather and things to do not only us, but more so the rest of our family.
Deez, I don't think you are quite to the point in your life where you have to consider the family, and do we do this mini-vac in frisco again, or watch on TV and do the a mini vaca somewhere else?
Most or at least a significant amount of us on here are fathers. You kind of question yourself on if it is fair to spend this kinda $ on something that is not as fun for the rest of the family. Don't get me wrong my wife, DJ, and DJ2 all love the games & are JMU fans, but I know if I asked them would they rather spend $2,000 to go to Frisco for 24 hours, or watch the game on TV, and another weekend spend that $2,000 to head to Orlando, San Antonio, or New Orleans, etc. - there is no doubt in my mind what they would choose.
That's why I said this is the first year I considered not going, and watching on TV. It's options in life, and you have to consider the whole picture not only for yourself, but your family, or spouse.
If it was different teams reaching the NC each year there would not be the location fatigue. I was excited about Frisco the first time. I was ok with it last time. While I excited about the game, I'm dreading Frisco this time. Other than the NC - why am I paying this kinda money to go to Frisco? If different teams went on an annual basis as in the past, keeping it in the same place so long would not be an issue since you may only go once every 5-10 years. Same place 3 times in the last three years for JMU, and for NDSU 8th time in 8 years - that's not that exciting.
Like the NC in spite of Frisco for me "this" year.
