At $99, each game costs about $16.50 per person. So you are correct that comes out to $66.00 for a family of four. Parking can be had for $12. You're up to $78. Tailgating can drastically reduce expenditures inside the Dome however as a father of a 10 and 6 year old I can promise you can't go through a game unscathed. Keep at least $20 or so for sodas, popcorn, and maybe some cotton candy to give them that extra energy burst late in the 2nd half. I share you concerns regarding parking which is why I park at Skytop. First it's the best place to tailgate for kids, much of the area is grass covered and there's an area away from the cars where they can go play football or whatever. My kids love the shuttle, passing Manley, Melo Center, and Greek Row. You get dropped off at the quad where there are lots of activities and free bounce houses for the kids. No hills to walk up or down either direction. Essentially you can do a live game with a family of 4 for around $100 comfortably. Dinner and a movie for the same clan would be just as much if not more. As for leaf raking, yes it has to be done, what's wrong with Sunday or early Sat morning? Heck I'm a rebel, I'll even rake leaves on a Wed after work just so I don't have to worry about it come gameday. I know...mind blown...

Lastly the memories I'm building with my kids are amazing. My 10 year old still remembers going to the Fine tailgate against UCONN on a Friday night during the Grob years. That's almost 5 years ago but he remembers. That is priceless.
