Sunday Ticket is great for those who live outside the market. If I didn't have Sunday Ticket, I would only get to see Chargers games when they play in prime time or against the Broncos. I figure I gave my 2 season tickets ($1800/season) when I moved, so @ $330, I am spending nearly $1500 less than I was when going to the games
Awesome. As a college student in Texas, it's impossible for me to watch the games unless they're nationally broadcasted unless I watch them in terrible internet quality. I also couldn't do Sunday Ticket till now because I can't get a Satellite Dish for my dorm room. I am perfectly fine with paying the price if it means that I'll get to see every Chargers game for the first time in my life. Especially in HD.
But how am I supposed to watch all the morning games while tailgating at the Q? Must... have... NFL... Sunday... Ticket...
I'm not an alcoholic dude, sheesh. Even if it was the same amount, I'd still rather spend it here locally at a place where I can meet friends and other peeps and have a good time watching all the games on multiple sets than on my PS3.
