Roughly the same for me. After decades of rabid fandom, my interest started waning in earnest just before the pandemic, which ended up distancing me more from the game and program. My tailgate group has been decimated by a number of factors, most of them listed in this thread. I dread the impending conference realignment, and I too miss the days of season tickets arriving in the mail, each game with a set kickoff time (usually 12:30 or thereabouts) printed on the ticket.

For me it's also become more existential; for a myriad of reasons, some related to this thread, others not, a growing part of me hopes Stanford will be among the first P5 universities to shutter its football program. That would admittedly be bittersweet for me, but I'm convinced with each day that it would be the right thing to do.

Somewhat hypocritically (though not entirely), I've shifted my Stanford fandom to the hoops program. Not in a walk in the park by any stretch, given the up-and-(mainly)down state of the program at a time when transfers are so pivotal, but the scheduling is more consistent, the vibe more fun/pleasant, and the injuries less traumatic (and life-impacting). 

I have been a season ticket holder for four decades. Seriously considered not renewing this year, will not do so next year. 7:30 kickoffs, Friday night games, and lousy football just ain’t worth it.

Same here on all points, nearly 5 decades for me.  I live in SoCal now and night games scheduled on 10 days notice make the whole experience unpalatable.  No mas.
