No one else cares *yet.*

There's a lot of stuff going on at a game to pique different interests. A couple years ago I brought my self-described "little old lady" mother to a game as a way to hang out with my aunt. Not only is she one of the least likely demographics to be interested in football, I think she had some concern over it due to the injury potential (I've had concussions...)

Anyway, not only did she get plenty of time to chat and gossip with my aunt, but she loved the half-time show, the cheerleaders' acrobatics, the dance crew, and the bacon grilled cheese and apple cider cocktails at the tailgate. Since then she's come back maybe half a dozen times and is starting to get invested in the game and various players (e.g., "Marlowe's healthy!", or "look at that recruit with his parents! they're so invested!") Even during the reseating she wanted lots of updates to make sure we didn't get a worse view.

Anyway, I obviously don't know you or your family and maybe there's really nothing there, but at least in my case I was surprised by how much was under the surface, the kind of stuff that doesn't really come across on TV.
