But human psychology is such that if you didnt have those 60,000 screaming fans there, as captured by the camera, it wouldnt seem to be such an event worth watching.
I agree with you but you reminded me of the experiment years ago when they had no announcers, only crowd noise. Needless to say it didn’t go well.

Watched a great High School game last night, Mentor vs St. Ignatious(sp?) Double OT. Haven’t watched the Cleveland Clowns in three years.

At home, I get a better view of all the plays. I’m also border-line introverted so big crowds are a chore to endure and I don’t “feed off the energy” of big crowds like so many seem to do.

My wife likes to go to the games, but I’d much rather stay home and watch them on TV.
Last time I went, I sat next to a drunk who was so obnoxious, his own girlfriend/wife got sick of him and stood up and left.
Then, we got rained on. Afterward, we sat in traffic for an hour.
This year, we had tickets to a game, but I talked her out of going. Sold the tickets and stayed home.
It was windy and rainy and our team lost. My wife thanked me.

And after it takes forever to get out, some genius police commander thinks it is a great time to stop all traffic on the interstate for DWI checks, so you get arrested for public urination when you originally thought you could make it till you got home.

Agreed. Redzone is the only way to watch football now, especially the last five minutes of all the games. Unforunately I’ve cut my cable so I’ll have to watch it on my phone or slingbox it off my brother.

18) At home, nobody murders the national anthem for you. You should hear the third-rate Nashville renditions on most NASCAR races. Breathy, moan-y, whiny, and they all sing it at a tempo more suitable for a funeral march.

Absolutely. I have become a DVR artiste, can fit all the action of two NFL games and one NASCAR race into about an hour and a half of actual viewing time.

Unless you have field-level seats, I think you tend to get a much better view on TV. Even better if you have a DVR with stop, slo-mo and rewind. The same applies to the game itself.

At home, you stand a slightly smaller chance of getting killed by thug Obama voters who are pissed that their team lost the game.

Football is a much better game on TV than in person. Baseball vice versa.

Football is a much better game on TV than in person. Baseball vice versa. Absolutely true. Unfortunately, both have become unaffordable for the many fans, at least at the professional level. For my family and I to go to a Red Sox game runs well north of $300, and the only reason it's not much higher is because I long ago learned to park 5 miles out of town and take the "T" to Fenway.
The answer has been our local minor (Eastern) league team, who are fun to watch and the tickets are more than reasonable - box seats are $10. And they've got Sam Adams on tap - nice and cold.
