The NFL season stared up  this weekend. This is a cool survey by Dave & Buster's.  It reveals that 50% of football fans would cancel a date to watch their favorite team play. Other findings:

- 50% of football fans would miss work while 17% would ditch a family wedding to watch their favorite team play.
- 25% of fans would ditch a friend's birthday party to watch their favorite football team play.
- other than watching a game at the stadium, a restaurant/bar is the top spot to watch a game.

What have you missed/skipped out on so you wouldn't miss your team.
