I am a season ticket holder. I don't need anything else to bring me into the stadium.

Not a factor. My local team plays in a 60 year old stadium and I love the place.

I haven't yet but I would travel 4-5 hours to attend a road game.

Do I? Oh lordy, do I. I have a dozen game worn jerseys and more hats, shirts, and knick knacks than I can count.

No. Unless I get the feeling they are absolutely not trying, the results don't matter. I don't ever look at the standings and don't care if the team makes the playoffs as we don't attend them anyway. Even a few years ago when they were averaging over 4 errors a game, I went every night.

Since I really only attend the games of one team, this is a non-issue. However, that said, parking is free and tickets are cheap ($8 each for the best box seats in the stadium). If that jumped to $5 for parking and $15 for tickets, we'd stop going.
My wife & I are season ticketholders for the Spokane Indians, short season 'A' affiliate of the Texas Rangers. We've had tickets for over a decade.
