You say this as if SU is Ohio State with many alumni remaining local. SU isn't a commuter school. You mentioned that many of us are five hours away. When I do come up to SU, I don't come up for a single day; I book a trip for an entire weekend. Let me break down the costs for you:
[LIST=1]
[*]Have to book a room first. When I've stayed out in Liverpool, after taxes and fees, I've spent $300 for two days. The closer you get to Downtown and SU, the more you're paying. That's me being economical while not staying out in the suburbs or smaller towns surrounding the city. The hotel industry gets into your pockets during football season and especially during Homecoming, Parents Weekend and Commencement.
[*]Booking travel. Flying is faster than the train and bus. If I book my flight out in advance, I'm going to spend about $250 round trip.
[*]Between feeding myself, buying merchandise on Marshall Street/SU Bookstore or the Dome and Ubers around the city, I'm dropping close to $200.
[/LIST]
Two and a half days will cost me about $750 if I'm lucky and disciplined. I don't know what other people's expenses look like for a weekend trip. I've seen Clemson before, I don't care to see them again especially this year's team. If the home schedule were better, I'd have made an effort to come up.
