It is always nice to have a break from your tiring work to have a great time to watch your favorite game. would you rather just watch it on TV instead of going to the game match and see the live action? I would rather go there live to see the live action because I really cannot focus to see the game because of some breaks from the TV. You will just be able to see the action that is being televised or broadcasted according to what they wanted for us to see. Yes we will be able to see it close up when it is on the TV but then we will not be able to see what is really happening there! Plus I really hate to see that the broadcasters will hang you at the climax of the game and will just post their commercial on TV. Yes I would agree that watching it on TV would save you time and money but if you really are an avid fan then you will really show your support by going there to see the live action. Please share your comments guys. Thank you.

Hello aaronfyzeon, I love Tennis! In addition, I enjoy playing tennis. I would love to watch the tennis matches in person, if I could afford the travel, and court side tickets to the U.S. Open, or Wimbledon. I watch Tennis on the Dish Satellite. What I do is tape the matches, or put the game on hold in the beginning for 20 min., and when the commercials come, I fast forward. When the commentators go on an on, I mute. I can pause if the telephone rings. So to answer your question, I enjoy watching the matches at home. :)

Thank you so much for sharing a more practical way of watching your favorite sport. I love tennis also. And with tennis, I just watch it on TV. Have a great weekend.

I used to like to go watch sports live, but nowadays I prefer watching in the comfort of my own home. Here's a couple of reasons why: 1. Some of the stadiums are uncomfortable to sit in for hours at a time. The seats are really close together and you got someone in front of you standing up or leaning back, or someone behind you accidentally kicking you in the head, or spilling food and drinks all over you. 2. Some of them have really steep staircases, and when you want to go to restroom or get refreshments it's frustrating climbing up and down those stairs. What if you have seats way at the top and you've been drinkin a little? Might not end well. 3. Too many people waiting in line to use the restroom, too many people waiting in line to get refreshments, and too much trouble trying to leave the stadium when it's all over. At home you have space to do what you want. You can sit back on the couch and relax, invite a few friends over, drink as much as you want, rewind and pause the action if you missed something, no parking issues, no big crowds, no stairs. That's how I like it.

LIVE! I'm willing to give up my comfortable couch at home and the close-up shots that I would be seeing from my television just to see the game LIVE! The excitement and the thrill of watching the game live is something that I would really want to experience.

It would be fun to watch the game live but here in the Philippines especially if you are here in our area, its impossible to go to a live game. We dont have a choice but we have to watch it on television.

viewing the match live has much more than just watching on tv the experience and the adrenaline pumped is much more in live than just in watching the tv

I'm an avid fan of basketball (NBA) and of course I'd rather watch it live than just watching it on tv. Problem is, I don't have enough resources to do that. First, its not easy to go to the states to get a visa. Second, I don't have enough money to pay for all the expenses. Third, it is so impractical to travel to the other side of the world just to see a basketball game when I can watch it on tv for free. But if I only have the visa and extra money, I would definitely watch the game live. Even if my place would be in the backseat, the excitement that I would be getting would be priceless. The feeling of watching the game live is very different from just watching it on tv.

when you go and watch it live you are unable to see the minor things in it which they show on the television for example detailed preview or detailed replay so i will prefer to watch on the television but if the ground has all the facilities such as screen and every thing is shown on it, than it will be worth to be there instead of sitting at home, you will also be able to see the real fun of the game

I know my husband loves boxing. Each time there is a big fight I would love to get him a ticket to see it live. I don't really think we can afford something like that right now. Maybe as we get older he will get blessed to attend an event.

I prefer to watch the favorite sports match on TV rather than going there live. At first, I tend to get tired of going out easily, yes, I would rather staying at home after the tiring work; Secondly, in most cases, although the live action is full of more passion, I hate the crowded people in the playground; Thirdly, By watching the sports on TV, I will save some money obviously. Of course, sometimes, I tend to watch them on the Internet, which is a better chocie for me.

For me I would rather choose to watch my favorite sports in live because it is more exciting if you see them fighting in person. And also there are some advantage when you watch them live you can get there signature and also do some pictures with them. Unlike on television after watching them then that's it you can now turn off the tv and just remind how they win.
