I wouldn't buy season tickets obviously since I live in NS (unless I got super rich and then they'd be skybox tickets)
But to comment on the whole being there vs watching on TV thing I'd like to visit Foxboro some day just because I believe it's a pilgramage every Pats fan should make. But if I lived in the area I'd consistently much rather watch on TV. #1 it's a Hell of a lot cheaper, #2 you get commentary and instant replay, pregame and post game shows and are able to more easily watch other games that effect the Pats before and after the Pats game. #3 it's far more comfortable, #4 I don't get gouged by food prices, I can make my own snacks and feed my whole crew for the same cost that I by myself would pay to get food at the stadium, not to mention the booze prices, the hassle of parking and driving and wading through other people, running into opposing fans, etc. #5 it's a Hell of a lot warmer in Nov/Dec in my apartment than it is at Gillete. (I do have mad respect for the people that brave the elements to go to the games and cheer tho, I couldn't do it, so I salute you) #6 if I wanna go to the bathroom I don't gotta walk for 5 minutes and open the stall to see a big soggy log some jackazz didn't bother to flush and pizz all over the seat. (Unless I was drunk the night before)
I enjoy going to live sports every now and then, but for the most part I'm a watch it in the comfort of my own living room kinda guy, but hey everyone is different.
