Here's the thing, 5 years, maybe even 2 years ago I would do this. Now, I'm at a point in life (aka: had a baby) where I'm not driving 4 hours up to Fargo for a ton of games anymore.
I even missed Frisco for the first time last year! It was a travesty!
Hail Hydra.
For me personally, when we had kids going to tailgating/games became more of a necessity. Needed something to get away and have fun...but then again, we live in town. Then when they were old enough to walk, it was time to get them out tailgating and get them invested. Then Frisco used to be a mom and dad getaway, and then once they got to go to Frisco, they don't want to ever be left behind.

This is a great opportunity to pull out the "NDSU Gameday Bible for Kids". You never know when some damn snowflake parent in the Herd is going to lose their way.
