 It seems like nowadays sports fans take the iniative to attend sporting events rather than watch on the TV. We see this as less and less tickets become available for popular events and people will do just about anything to experience sporting events live. They will pay well above face value for tickets because to them it is worth it, and it should be.  These are experiences you will only have once in a lifetime and there is no price tag on that.  I love to attend all sporting events no matter which of my home teams is in season.  With new rivalries and of course the old ones, why wouldn’t you want to see just exactly what the atmosphere is.  Sure you can sit in a bar or in your house screaming, but to actually experience it live is on a whole nother level. The sports world is kind to us by giving us 364 days a year of pure entertainment and we owe it to ourselves to take part in the action and not sit back and enjoy but live in the moment.
