You got it ! Your analogy is losing traction,
because that is exactly how I feel.
I no longer drive 200 miles to Detroit and pay $80
to sit 400 feet off the action, and pay $8 for a warm
crappy beer, to see the Tigers play. Instead, I prefer
supporting the local team, where I can sit within 50
feet of the action, and actually see the game, and
hear the players chatter, sit comfortably in a nice
seat, with a $2 beer and chatter ALONG WITH my
hometown friends. Way more fun - and it is still
just a baseball game to me.
;-)
Nevertheless, I follow your drift and appreciate
your explanation of it. THANKS for your take.
