All valid points here.

I've seen the shirts and let me tell you they aren't those low quality Gilden shirts you see all over the place or given away for free (they even have XXXL for you big bone types). They are the good cotton blend type that treats your skin right. A shirt like that would easily retail for $15 to $20. Throw in an adult beverage that would run you at least $5 in certain places.  Add a few bucks for soda.

So you can stuff yourself to get you to at least halftime if you are going to the game.

Plus, this might be the deal maker...there will be some former players there for autograph, photo opps, and conversation. Rosie Bouie, Preston Shumpert, Eric Devendorf for sure.  Danny Schayes, Marty Byrnes, John Wallace, Otis Hill, Gene Waldron, Rex Trobridge and many others as strong possibilities. I wouldn't be surprised if there were 20 to 30 former players.  Perhaps the biggest collection of former players ever available to the general public.  Not to sound like an informercial, but I know there are other players you want to see but I won't name drop them.  But, they might show up. Also, as you can imagine there is limited capacity and it isn't 35,012.

I'd recommend to get there right at 4 as most if not all will be leaving by 5:30 for the game.

So for $30 you're not doing so bad. Now if you come for the viewing party too, you'll be making out like a bandit stuffing your pieholes. And if you don't mind getting some exercise, there are plenty of free parking spots north of M Street.
