Thread hijack alert: I wonder, what do women think about these kind of ballpark proposals? I briefly toyed with this idea when I thought about proposing to my (now) wife, but rejected it because I thought it might be forcing the issue so to speak. I mean it seems to put the woman on the spot, big time. How could one be sure her “yes” was real and not just going with the crowd, literally?

What do women think though? Romantic or just another dumb man’s idea?

I don’t think it’s a ‘dumb’ idea, but there are women who wouldn’t want such a personal moment to be made into a public spectacle. I wouldn’t want it.

(And if you aren’t sure she would say yes, maybe there’s something not quite right in the lines of communication...)

Not my kind of thing, but then, I probably wouldn’t be at the stadium, anyway - not much for spectator sports.

There was a sports arena proposal a year or too ago where the girl said “No.” How awkward for her and totally embarrassing for him. Lesson from the story: Don’t even think about it unless you are 110% certain the answer will be “Yes.”

Plenty of videos where the woman said NO or ran off in absolute fear in front of thousands of people.

Beautiful woman, i hope the ex boyfriend got what he deserved.
