This. We've been on the wait list for the local NFL team season tickets for over a decade. Last year we talked it over and while we're still on the list for now - there's a good chance we'd pass if offered the chance to purchase seat licenses.
Instead, we got two season tickets to the local WNBA team. Went to a few games last year and the experience was wonderful every time. The only area where football was even remotely equal, was in food menus / variety.
