    hockey is my pick. as long as you can see the whole rink and you are not obstructed or just have a bad view. a bad view can happen even with a "good seat". low is not always better for hockey. the best is watching the action back and forth and seeing the line changes and the speed everything happens at.

    Far as on the court, field, rink nothing beats NHL live imo.

    Argument could be made that some those ncaa hoops venues have amazing atmosphere that are unmatched but you have to go to certain places to get that cause the venue/atmosphere what makes it.

    Opposed to hockey where it all about the product on the ice, tv comes nowhere close to doing the speed and skill justice. I remember my 1st nhl game and my mind being blown how much faster it seems live than on TV.

    Really kind of depends on who you’re watching and the stadium. Hockey rinks are kind of cold.

    That what I was saying bout certain venues/atmospheres. I never have gotten a chance to go either one of those which I’m sure be amazing!! I saw ku at alien a few times which was really cool.

    Far as the actual game taking place I just feel like hockey is hands down the best live. Every other sport I mostly prefer watching on tv, I enjoy the atmosphere at big games for any sport live but far as watching most them better on tv. Hockey the opposite imo.

    College basketball is a joke live. You can go to the bathroom, get a beer, come back after 15 minutes, and they've only scored 8 points, 6 of which were off putback layups.

    Straight snoozefest. Guaranteed to catch zero elite plays at a college basketball game.

    People paid 2 grand for a ticket to go watch Zion vs. NC?

    If he stepped on the court today vs. a good team he might not even be a top 5 player on the court.

    Lmao.

    Americans need their heads examined.

    Pooling out money to basically watch little league. That's what college bball is.

    What shitty college Game you go to? The atmosphere at some the gyms incredible. Some of us prefer ncaa hoops opposed to watching nba garbage.

    Some the skill displayed in these NBA games is absolutely amazing, but with college you know you'll get to see who you paid to see.

    I promise it is incredibly surprising how great it is live. Blew my mind the true speed of the game, tv does it no justice whatsoever!!

    If you a sports fan you have to experience nhl live once. Most ppl who do end up going a lot more as I have, I been going since way back in 90s when blues played at old barn and had incredibly rivalry with Blackhawks!! Those playoff series I went to when I was 13-14-15 ish were awesome. Place was a mad house with fighting in the stands and all kinds of craziness. Sadly the got rid of that atmosphere when they built the new place and beefed up security to keep the crazies they didn’t price out more in line!! Lol

    Been to 2 mich state games and 2 mich games over years. Sure the atmosphere is cool but what is it? It's just a bunch of drunk rowdy college kids.

    You say you prefer ncaa hoops but that's not real basketball. Like I said it's little league. You're basically crossing your fingers hoping a guy can make a free throw or a wide open layup. That's how bad the players are. Only 1% of those D1 league players that you're watching will make the NBA. Think about that. Someone misses a layup to take the lead in the final moments and there's all these college kids with their hands on their cheeks, speechless. Then when it's over it's like "what a great game! it came down to the wire!" lmfao.

    With NBA garbage, at least I'm watching players do things that I can't do/could ever do. If I want to watch mediocrity, I'll just go to my local gym or park and take a 6 pack with me.

    We vastly disagree on what “real basketball” is. I think it a team game while you prefer some overpaid jerkoff dribbling around for 20 seconds.

    Rec league hoops isn’t equivalent in the slightest to ncaa hoops where they run real sets and play the way it supposed to be played. Some ultra talented star dribbling around most the time doesn’t do it for me, I can go to any playground or a and 1 mix tape shooting to see that crap.
