Discussion Thread: Your Favorite Sport to Watch In-Person
What’s your favorite sport to watch in-person? Mine is cross country, and not just for the obvious reason. I love the roar of the crowd at the finish line. More importantly, I enjoy how quickly it’s over. Twenty minutes and I’m in and out. I actually dislike watching track, even when Betsy is running. It’s hours of waiting for a few minutes of competition. It doesn’t help that it’s usually cold or rainy. Mother nature hates the 800-meter dash. Most sports with balls are shorter than track meets but longer than cross country. Foot races on grass remain the most exciting and time-efficient way to be a supportive parent. What sport do you like to watch? Sound off in the comments.
Does people watching count? I find watching sports in person mind numbing.
Let me preface this by saying I'm from Pittsburgh. We have had a terrible baseball team for most of my life.
That being said, in person is the only way I'll watch baseball. Pittsburgh has the worst baseball team, but the absolute best ballpark. There's a gorgeous view of the city, great food, and plenty of beer. It helps that the tickets are cheap and plentiful. Most of the time, I'm not even cognizant of the action on the field. I'm relaxing in a boozy food coma. 10/10 Would highly recommend.
