I've been to two football games in my life and they both sucked. I can't even imagine what a huge NFL game is like where you sit 1000 feet away from nowhere.

Basketball games where you get a glimpse of the court as you make your way from the concourse into the arena and the excitement is bouncing off the walls is 1100x better... and I can't stand basketball.

Live basketball sucks unless you live in a sports town with a contender. I used to go to Magic games all the time and it had the atmosphere of a damp fart.
P sure Warriors games are a blast sure....

it's my understanding that everything in florida apart from college football has the atmosphere of a damp fart

that said, the nhl has totally fucked up in arizona and long island and the american south in general and seems poised for a disaster in las vegas
it's trying to knuckle calgary now, but the mayor, at least, seems to have the right attitude. what are they gonna do, move the flames back to atlanta?
basically pro sports leagues are just fucked up and evil

i wld attend p much any basketball game bad atmosphere or no but im hoops mad m8
kinda intrigued by the sociological aspects of this tbh
your town has had no team for 20 years and now two show up; who do you root for? maybe some fans' parents were in love with vince ferragamo, maybe some are from southerly areas that looked to the chargers. they both wear blue and yellow!
probably most will be choices as half-assed as bee ok's
― mookieproof, Thursday, 14 January 2016 02:36 (eight years ago) link
if the rams agree to go back to the yellow n blue unis root for them imo

hockey's great in person but sucks on TV. Pretty much the exact opposite of football.
Trivia answer on the old sportstalk show once was Vince Ferragamo and our host went into this big spiel about how Ferragamo later went Hollywood and became the star of "The Hulk Man". I miss those days sometimes.
