[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My (non athlete) college student would hate if we visited her that often. She competes at a different activity and we only plan to attend if her team make the championships. Are athletes less independent than non athletes?[/quote]

This is completely non responsive to the op, which asks specifically about sitting in the stands and watching a son play a dozen D1 football games at a very high level.

“Independence” is irrelevant. So are your daughter’s dance events[/quote]

Op's decision making is what is low level.   OP can to decide to go to the games or not.  What DCUM thinks about it is irrelevant.[/quote]

No one should ever crowd source anything or ask for advice on DCUM ever !!!! Remember : DCUM is only a place to discuss how much you love Taylor Swift [/quote]

Okay well my advice is this decision is between the parent and their child and has nothing to do with anyone on this site.   If you enjoy the games and can afford to travel to the games then go if that's what you want to do with your time and energy.   I would discuss it with the student to make sure they are on board.[/quote]

Right, because afterwards they do not want the pressure of having to act like a host because you flew into town to see them.

They want to hang out with their friends and teammates. [/quote]
