Tailgating (the 3 times I've done it) is fun. But I would much rather watch a football game on tv. I want all the angles and I want all the replays. And it's so much warmer curled up in the princess bed.
I once went to an FSU (when they were #1), Virginia game in Virgina (I think they were ranked 20-something) and sat on a hill behind one of the end zones. Anyway, UVA was up* by more than 3 with a minute left and FSU had driven close to the goal on the other side of the field. UVA had a brilliant goal line stand and on the last play, they stuffed FSU and the game was over. We couldn't see a fucking thing, but everyone ran onto the field before the play was even over anyway and started celebrating. Great game to go to, but I would have liked to have seen the stop, which was supposedly like an inch away from being a touchdown.
Basketball games with halfway decent seats are fun. It is amazing to see those fucking guys move up close. They are freaks. I love baseball games in nice weather. And hockey is just as boring in real life as it is on tv. Two breaks? What sense does that make?
