Sporting events: Our city has a hockey team and a minor league baseball team--both of which have home fields way up north in the suburbs where I live.
There is also college sports, I suppose, except they're so crowded we'd basically have to park a few blocks from our house anyway. That's what the TV is for.
Concerts: Not counting the children's music concert I took the kids to (which was technically downtown, but in another city,) I haven't been to a concert since 1999.
The opera: You jest, but I did actually go to an opera once. It was interesting for the first two hours, but I dozed off during the second two.
Quality dining: Again, the quality dining here is spread all over. Our three favorite restaurants are all out here by us (and were before we lived out here.) Not that we get to enjoy them very often, but hey. Downtown restaurants are mostly classy lunch places for the business crowd, and bars.
