Re: What gets you to walk in the gate?
Sadly, I am only an occasional attendee. I would like to go more often but for similar reasons to thebrus I don't get to attend as often as I like. Having a family and having the nearest games be almost a two hour drive can make it difficult at times. As anyone with kids can say a two hour or longer car ride with a 4 year old can take the fun out of a lot of events. Also, until recently my job had me regularly working weekends.
I truly enjoy watching the athletes with the wonderful sound of pipes in the background, plus visiting some of the clan tents, and love the opportunity to see various vendors on hand so I can get my hands on merchandise to decide what I think of it instead of merely looking at a picture online.
Hopefully, next year I can attend a couple more events and maybe finally start meeting some of the fine folks from the rabble.
