I like beer and food they don't serve at the stadium, I like to be productive before and after the game whether is be work or play.
I like to fly my "12" flag for all the neighbors to see (up 10 minutes before the game, down 10-30 minutes after)

Never been snowed on in front of the tv. never high fived all the other season ticket holders that ive gotten to know well they have become family in front of the tv. never been able to tell brian Bosworth how much he sucks A$$ and know he can here me in front of the tv. never been able to rub Tates catch in the face of a particularly obnoxious packer fan in front of my TV.that Tate catch was 15' from my seat and I heard the ball hit his chest, dont think anyone on tv saw it or heard it better than me and my angle was not caught on camera.I never got to file out of the stadium with 60k other pump Hawk fans cheering and High fiveing while scoring a half priced hot dog at home watching TV. I can totally respect ones choice for staying home whether its about budget, or any other reason, but please don't try to sell me on it being anything like being there. That dog just don't hunt.

That being said, if your real question is "Am I missing out?" then the answer is "sometimes." There are games and situations that you will remember seeing in person long after the short term fun from seeing it on TV has dissipated. As a kid, I went with a friend's family to the 1988 game against the Broncos. Most of the fans here as old or older than me probably remember the play on TV, but when Largent leveled that Broncos safety and then took that football back from him the Kingdome simply went nuts. It was an amazing experience, and being there in person was the difference for me in remembering it as a nice Seahawks moment vs. one of the best things to happen that year. There are moments like that quite often, and I have ended up regretting the ones that I missed seeing in person (Romo fumble).

As long as you financially support the Seahawks organization to some reasonable degree within your means, you've got nothing to be ashamed of.
...Unless you're a bandwagon fan. :devil:
