Never have I ever been to a modern sporting event. Football, soccer (or other football to some of you folks), hockey, baseball, whatever.

I've been to things which some would argue are sports like jousting, but never a basic sport event.

Does this include amateur sports events. Like college football or soccer

[โ€“] agent_nycto@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yep, never been to one of those either

As someone that doesn't care for sports. I've been to a few. High school level to AA to professional sports people. Hockey, baseball, football, and even NASCAR. I would say, I enjoyed it live more than on the TV, but that's because of the people watching. I don't watch sport on TV, but I did when I was younger and trying to get into them. My family likes sports.

I happen to get into these events for free/work, so that's why I went. I wouldn't pay for a ticket for them, but as a way to kill some time and people watch, it was fun.
