I've been to Saint James, Old Trafford, White Hart Lane, Anfield and others. It's nice, but it is not mine and to me the sport is about community and my friends in DU and BB. |
See, that's probably my problem.
I don't watch sports as a supporter really. Despite growing up in a major city with 3 proffesional sports teams, for me, the fun in sports is watching the strategy of the games, and the flow of it, and to see the best at their sport play.
I pick a favorite from game to game that i root for, but I don't really have any allegiances beyond knowing that if certain teams win it will make friends and family happy.
Me I'd rather see a unique game where an underdog forces a close game by running a full press all game, or just watch two teams adapt and change strategies, follow the flow of the game, make predictions and see if I can point out where the turning points happen correctly.
As such, I actually prefer a televised game to just going to see a game in most cases.
Can't be beat.
Though soccer is second in that regard for my money anwyay.
That's why basketball is my fafvorite sport. It tends to have the most adjustments, allow for strategy changes, and even different positional moves by playing a "small" or "Big" lineup, switching your star to another position to lock somebody down, the effect fouls can have on games, or forced time outs.
