Join the action at game day for a different feel

09 Oct 2024

You can categorize the general population on the basis of what they prefer for entertainment. Sports are considered to be part of the men-only territory. You will find fathers, grandfathers, and sons sitting together not just on weekends but weekdays to watch the games, irrespective of whether their local team is participating or not. You may find some women too who enjoy such games, particularly those played between women’s teams. In the USA, the fall season, with summer and the summer holidays gone, is the season for various major sports competitions for baseball, basketball, ice hockey, American football, and soccer. If a competition does not start in October, its major playoffs will be this month or around it.

Double up the fun

There are different ways to enjoy such games, one is to be a couch potato with the drinks and snacks ready to last the game, while the other is to watch the game live in the stadiums. While the first doesn’t require much effort, the other will be more convenient if the team you support is playing in your city. There are some supporters who will be at all the major games played by their teams, irrespective of which state the game is being organized in. There will be others who will find time for such games when they have time off from work or studies. Then there are some who will consider attending a game as part of their holiday breaks. Here we list the major sports and the ways you can enjoy them live in front of you.

Find your seats for the baseball game

The baseball season starts in March and usually reaches its climax in October. Though the way this game is played has not changed over the century and a half since the national competitions were organized, in the last half a century new modern stadiums were erected and new technologies changed the rules of the game. 30 teams compete in the Major League Baseball competition every year, with more teams based in the Northeast of the USA than in other regions. As for the tickets for these games, you can either join the membership allowing you to watch all the games at a stadium or you can use online tools like Apps to book your game tickets.

Get closer to action at the basketball game

The arena for every sport is different according to the way the game is played. As for basketball, you will get to see all the action up close at the indoor arenas. Though race is a big issue in the USA, you will find teams with mostly tall African American players and the crowds cheering them on with lots of passion. The main season for the game starts in October and ends with the finals in spring around next April. So, if you are looking to watch a game live, you will be competing with other spectators to get your tickets, as the seats are not as many due to the smaller arena size for this game. So, you must make sure that you have the game tickets before you book your flights, as you may fly a long way away without being able to do what you have come for.

Chill out at Ice Hockey games

Ice Hockey

This game as the name suggests requires an ice cover on the floor to play which can be quite slippery, so the players wear large bulky clothes with helmets. Contrary to what you may think that this game will be possible in winter only, the NHL competition starts in October with finals in June next year. This game is believed to be more popular in Canada, where it is the national sport, and in NHL you will find teams competing from major cities in both USA and Canada. If you are planning to watch the game in Canada, you will not need a visa to cross the borders, as trips under 180 days are permitted by this northern neighbor of the USA without one.

Is it better to watch American football games in the stadium?

American football

American football has evolved from rugby and soccer, and it is an American invention like the game of baseball. College football is as popular as the National Football League, with some different rules for the games. While college football starts in August end and lasts till January, the NFL games start in September with the Super Bowl and Pro Bowl in February. These games can be physically challenging and you may compare these with the games of gladiators in ancient Rome, though the helmets have changed a lot since then. If you are watching the game in a city that is not your home city, you can use public transport to join other spectators at the game, with others reaching the same way to watch the game in their city. While on TV you will hear the noise of the spectators while at the stadiums you will be one of the voices.

Feel the game on the soccer pitch

Soccer as conventional football is known in the USA, is played in the seasons when you will not expect games of other sports, from March to finals in October. The USA has participated in a lot of soccer World Cups, after qualifying in the North American region, though they have not made much of an impact on the international scene. This is an indicator of the quality of the game in this country and the intensity with which it is followed here. Still, there are people who follow the game and will be at the stadiums at the first opportunity. If you are one of them, you will be able to watch the game live only if you book your flights at the right time, which means giving yourself a couple of months for booking domestic flights.

Conclusion

There are other sports like tennis and golf which also have a significant following, but the sports listed above attract a large audience among the Americans. Most people will want to be at the finals of the major tournaments, but whether your team will reach the final or not is a different question. You may have a group of people, college buddies, or office colleagues interested in these games, so you will be in need of group flights too. No matter what your plans are for these games the flight tickets are as important as the game tickets.
