Just curious what other think...
You live in SLC, correct? So that's a different animal. Getting to 18 home games a year is more difficult if you're investing 3 hours of drive time to every game.

My categorization is extremely simple but I'm thinking of two fans.

My father-in-law. Wealthy CC member. Has great tickets, lives in Utah County, goes to <25% of games. Has to ask me whether or not Trent Plaisted is left handed.

My neighbor. Makes $60K and supports a stay-at-home mom and five kids. Only game he's been to all year is the AFA game.

I just think it's not cool to rip on the second guy as a cheapskate and praise the first guy as a great fan.
