    What sports have you seen live? (Provided I can figure out a way to do a poll where you get to respond to more than 1)

    I've got different entries for pro and college. But I guess pro could be CBA or Arena Football or whatever

    On this list all but Tennis and Boxing. I will see boxing, I just need the right event when I have the time. I really want to see an outdoor fight at Caesars Palace.

    Baseball?

    I was fortunate enough to be at all the home playoff games in 1994..including 6 & 7 of the Finals...and spent the game 4 vs. Orlando in 95 in a suite at the Summit! :)

    That we won both championships at home made them so electric -- just out of this world.

    Also, not listed, I saw the 96 olympics table tennis matches in Atlanta. That was very cool to watch.

    Only two I haven't seen are Boxing/MMA and Golf. Everything else I have seen live.

    I will say.. Tennis is freaking boring. We went to the event they have here in Cincinnati the first year they came and I was bored out of my skull. Never again.

    Edit: You don't have MLB on there either.... I have been to many a Reds game and a few Cubs games in Wrigley. :)

    No love for baseball?

    Out of all the sports I've seen live, I'd say hockey was the most entertaining.

    No NASCAR or MLB. I've been to them all aside from Boxing/MMA or Tennis, though I would love to go watch Wimbledon, French Open, & US Opens some day.

    How could you overlook baseball in your poll? Even if you absolutely hate it, that be like giving a poll for gay men saying what do you prefer: pu**y or pu**y?

    NFL Football --- Sort of boring. Much prefer watching on TV where you get the good camera angles.
    MLB Baseball --- Love the ballpark atmosphere. Favorite seats are upper level behind home plate. Nothing beats a good day at the park.
    NHL Hockey --- Very exciting. Much better than on TV.
    NBA Basketball --- Only saw one game. Sat too far away to see much action.
    College Basketball --- Used to work for varsity sports operating the shot clock. Very stressful job! It's awesome being right down on the floor so close to the action, though.
