The expense of the tickets is only part of the problem.
Simply put, there are not enough hotels in Gainesville. So, on football weekends, they double their prices and demand a 2 night minimum.
$250 for a room that you only need for one night and would be $60 on most nights is difficult to accept.
If I were coming from far out of town, I would make an entire weekend out of the event once every few years. Enjoy the nostalgia, tour the campus, see the butterfly and natural history museums. Find a nice restaurant and splurge.
To think that I could do that 6 to 7 times a year, every year, is unrealistic.
