The cost of the entire experience is just expensive. For a playoff game it's $41 for a ticket. Probably another $5 in fees. Then you have your tailgating spots which are $20 each. So if you want 2 people to go to a playoff game, it's pushing $82 plus fees and another $40 for 2 reserved tailgating spot. That's $122 just to get in the door and park. Then you got your tailgating food, accessories and drinks. You need hours to prepare. It's cold AF most weeks. Once you get in the dome, you need more to eat or drink. So for just 2 people, with tickets, tailgating, tailgating food, and food inside the dome, it can easily cost $200 a week. You do that for 3 playoff games, you need to budget or spend an extra $600 in a month on short notice.
And if you have season tickets, you've already done this for 6 home games, plus Target Field and possibly Brookings. Throw in a teammakers donation and it's spendy. Oh... and don't forget Frisco
I can do it but I can understand why it's tough and less appealing for some people since we seem to lose a game every couple of years and only a handful are competitive. But I'm usually fired up for the playoffs or good games
