The review topic I will be doing is about the difference between watching a game live vs. watching it on T.V. As any sports fan would say, there really is no better place to experience a big game than at the stadium. Although, there really is no worse place to watch a big game than at the stadium. Both good and bad, there really is nothing like being at the game. Fans believe they have to watch a game on TV because they miss too much by actually being there. As crazy as that sounds, they might be right. Without the cameras that zoom in things that would never have been seen is a bis aspect to this. Money is starting to be a bigger affect to going to the game or not. Not to mention the food prices at these games are insane. Also if you watch the game at home you can change the channel during a commercial and watch another game. Plus whats better than watching the game while laying on your favorite couch? Each option has ups and downs, they could each be wanted or not by one person or the other. (Dan Levy)
Many people can agree with everything said in this. They love to go to a game at a stadium. Just being in the environment and seeing it with their own eyes. On the other hand they would not want to sit

Some sports are definitely better seen in person. Television does not do justice for hockey. Other sports are better seen on TV. The person lying on his couch watching golf or cycling on TV has an extremely better idea of what's going on with the overall event than the schlub following one group of golfers or standing at some lonely stretch of road waiting for that exciting 15 seconds when the cyclists pass them. Also being at an event is almost always a more satisfying experience than sitting at home watching it on TV. Longer sports like golf and cycling are two sports that are much better on TV. They are two of the most time consuming sports that have a larger playing
Since the stadiums are most on the metropolitan areas, the fans from suburbs spend lots of expenditures, money and time, to watch baseball games. They give up the opportunities to do something else rather than watching games. Every year, the Major League Baseball receives more than $2 billion from advertising, sales of tickets and merchandise. And the “New York Yankees” got more revenues than the combinations of the other teams’
I think Comerica Park field is very interesting for many reasons. It would be easy for me to choose an MLB field, and it would be Comerica Park because it has a singing stage in right field. Comerica Park can hold 52,416 fans in it. Over the years Comerica Park has changed a lot over the years. The players get to play with colored bats and the bats are colored when they get them.The bottom knob of the bats have the players number on it. Tiger fans talk about the history of the Tigers.The history of the Tigers is interesting because Andrew Romine played all nine positions in one game.
MLB owners are paying too much for players, stadiums, amenities, etc. to put fans in seats and I cannot imagine they appreciate going to that level of effort so that the outcome of a game may get decided on a blown call by an umpire.
Growing up in a household full of males, minus my Mother, Monday nights were always such a big deal to our family for one reason, Monday Night Football! It did not matter if the team we disliked the most was playing, our whole family was glued to the television after seven o’clock. It was not until I was enrolled into this class, that I figured out how one man changed the game of sports television single handedly. This man went by the name of Roone Arledge. I chose to write about this topic because I know how much of an impact sports television had on my family. It always brought us closer together no matter how stressful our weeks were. We always enjoyed spending that time together and Roone Arledge was the visionary behind all of it.
Proponents of subsidizing sports stadiums is a great decision because the economic impact it will have on the community is great for two main reasons. First, sports stadiums are massive construction projects. In fact, one could compare them to a medieval cathedral in their attempts to dominate a skyline and inspire pride in one’s city And, just like these cathedrals, they are very expensive, and massive building projects that would require many years of hard painstaking labor. For example, the proposed stadium for the Los Angeles Rams in Inglewood, California, was predicted to cost $3 billion and add 22,000 construction jobs to the economy of Los Angeles, California. Although construction jobs do eventually disappear once a stadium is constructed once the games begin, so does the massive consumer spending. For example, more than 3.5 million people saw the St. Louis Cardinals play at Busch Stadium in 2015.
People getting arrested, drunk, and in fights for a game? People all across the world attend sports of all kinds. Fans can not always be the nicest or like the other team but that shouldn't stop you from being a fan or going to a game. Infact it’s good to be a fan of a certain team, studies showed that if you have strong liking of a particular team it can actually make you a healthier, happier, and more social person. So if you don’t particularly like a sport just turn on your tv and try watching some type of sport who knows you might just like it.
After all, it is the fans that make baseball what it is. For a century it has been noted as "the all-American pastime", where families go to spend quality time and show their pride for their home state. Games bring people
There wasn’t much to do while I waited for the game or sometimes games to end. Usually it was really hot or cold. When it as hot I mostly stayed in the shade and if it was cold I just stayed at the bleachers in a blanket. But the weather was ok occasionally. Sometimes there was a playground for me to distract myself with. That was ok.
Sports Stadiums are an iconic staple of American tradition. However not everything about these venues is positive. Team owners take advantage of laws and fans to meet their own goals. Citizens and city officials from various locations have taken up their grievances with the NFL in the past. And it has gotten to the point where even political parties join together to bring to light issues with the organization. NFL stadiums are not good for cities because they take advantage of tax payers, hurt citizens on an economic level and cost them billions in subsidies.
Each of the stadiums are funded in unique ways, communities do not benefit from new stadiums, and stadiums do not save a struggling downtown. Foremost, stadiums hurt public schools, and this money should be used for more important public services. There are many reasons we subsidize sports, but stadiums do not help the economy, and there are no net benefits from stadiums. Teams strive for new stadiums to create an image, but there are options so that a community will not loose a team to another city without building a new stadium.
In the United States, new sports stadiums are commonly seen as a vital part of the redevelopment of a city having a great economic growth with the production of jobs and a positive income builder. After this, the owners of the pro sports teams with millions and millions of dollars of subsidies for the construction of new stadiums and arenas and expect these facilities to generate economic benefits exceeding these subsidies by large margins. However, a growing body of fact indicates that professional sports facilities, and the franchises they are home to, may not be engines of economic benefit anywhere claims Sachse, “. In reality, sports franchises typically account for a very small proportion of the total economic output of the cities in which they reside.” Some economical studies on the amount of income and employment in US cities find no evidence of positive economic benefits associated with past sports facility construction and some studies find that professional sports facilities and teams have a net negative economic impact on income and employment. It just shows that these results suggest that at best, professional sports teams and facilities provide non-pecuniary benefits like civic pride, and a greater sense of community, along with consumption benefits to those attending games and following the local team in the media; at worst, residents
The pregame music felt as if it was vibrating and bouncing off of our bodies and the smell of food was circling the entire stadium. Walking down the flights of stairs to get onto the playing surface was a moment I will never forget. The atmosphere was incredible. Since we were early to the game, we were able to see both teams warm up and go through their pregame rituals. Also, during that time, we were able to take pictures, talk to other people, socialize, and enjoy leisure time with the coaches. At kickoff, we headed to our stadium seats to watch and enjoy the game.
Sports are played and viewed on the television by individuals from every social class, however, the general population is mostly accountable for the tremendous popularity of sports. People from all over the world watch popular social events, such as the
Viewer experience of a Cleveland Browns game and Smithville Smithies game is very different. When you walk out of the dimly lit hallway and into the stadium at First Energy, the sun is blinding. The grass field looks so good that it could be easily mistaken as artificial turf. There are over 70,000 fans on any given Sunday. While looking around the stadium you can see orange and brown colors everywhere of fans representing the home team. Occasionally you can see different colors scattered amongst the Brown’s colors of the fans representing the other team. Noise from the crowd is so loud, it makes it hard to hear people sitting in the seat beside you. When the browns are announced they ran out of the tunnel and the whole crowd stands up to cheer. Many fans at the browns game fans are drunk, and yell at the other team’s fans. After the browns run onto the field they start warming up. Quarterbacks start passing the ball to each other, the centers are snapping, and the punters are
First, the rich aroma of fatty fried foods wafts through the air, second loud cheers & boos surround the stadium and lastly a tingling sensation of excitement fills the body. This the stadium of American football the most toughest and brutal sport known to man, the sport where throwing simple pigskin across the field that became a favorite pastime for most people.Football in it’s origins wasn’t well respected and it was considerably feared by many Americans when football was first played on the grassy football field. The brutality of the game has lessen to a tolerable degree now in modern time, so it can be more pleasing to the public to watch, then in which lead to the sport gaining a massive fanbase in America.
