After about 50 years as a STH, I finally bailed last year, for all of the reasons 82lsju cited.  

We moved to San Diego in 1987 and I still kept my tickets, even though for a 10-yr period in the 90s we actually lived in Asia and I came home once every fall to go to a game.  The rest of the season, selling the ND/$C/Oregon tix easily covered my costs.

Daughter lived in the East Bay from 2006-2018 and that provided a good excuse to come up for games.

And I have good friends who still regularly tailgate in Lot 2.

I think what killed it for me was the TV-driven schedule, especially night games that required at least one overnight stay.  If our home games were all at 12:30 pm, I'd probably still be up there on the sunny side.

And as bad as the Pac-12 network coverage was, it still gave me an "out."
