For those who are saying they've spent 120-150k, are you traveling with multiple family members? Since U10-U17(this is her senior year), we've spent around 80k-90k. Sometimes hubster and I would split trips to cut the cost of flights, hotel( split with another parent), food, bar tab, etc.

My wife and I would split a few but when it was playoff time, my family of four all went to cheer on the team. The year we won the Natty was the most expensive year by far. The $120K a year family is mostly folks going first class and 5 star hotel. One family I knew had their own plane and that helped with savings.
Ok yeah that makes sense. And you are so right, now that I think of it, there are a couple of families on our team who would only go first class, etc. Not me, put me in coach and give me a vodka/tonic and I'm just fine.
If I have the money that Mr. Jones has, I'm for sure going first class. My dd was offered a private plane ride from Carlsbad to Camario but coach said no, it's not fair to the other players. Only Mr. Jones and his dd were allowed to do it. You must suck it up and go for that 3-hour drive each way (if the traffic is good) to play the Eagles.Ok yeah that makes sense.
