When this game was first announced years ago, I thought there was no way I was going to miss attending it. As the game gets closer though, I am just thinking there isn't any possible way for me to justify spending, at the bare minimum, $1000 to go watch a game that in all likelehood UT could lose by 50. There's not a lot of redeeming "vacation" value to Oregon in terms of places I would actually want to go aside from the game itself, and I already spend a lot of money going to all the games here in Knoxville. Barring a nice chunk of unexpected income in the next 9 months, I'll probably just sit this one out.
You're high, Oregon is awesome in September. I would tell you why but I mainly just wanted to call you high.
I'm not saying it's not nice, just saying that aside from attending a football game, I can't really imagine there would ever be another reason I would find myself in Oregon on vacation. There's a lot of other places I haven't been yet that are higher on the list.
I would say a grand is bare bones minimum. I think about what I spend driving to Gainesville for a game and it's probably $1500 for 3 of us when you consider gas, hotels, restaurants, tickets, & tailgating. Add a flight, rental car, and it could easily be $1000 and that's not getting "too" crazy.
I'm like you, I would love to go but I don't have $1500 or so for the trip. $2-$2500 if the wife goes.
For Eugene, no, there's no real reason to go there other than for a football game. There's a lot to see on either side of it, tho.
Jax Vol and I went last year for the TTU game. I'm sure he'd be happy to answer questions or provide input, as well
Im sure 6 or 8k fans will travel they usually do in better times a lot more.
It will be interesting to see just how much orange shows up.
Is there a strip of bars similar to Knox that all the students goto?
