Boris,
At home you haven't paid anything for the privilege of watching (save maybe
your television service provider). Beer is 1/16 as expensive. You have the
benefit of a truck full of graphics and stats guys, you can actually
understand the announcers, you can properly whack somebody if they spill
their beer on you (or the floor), it won't take you twenty minutes to have a
pee and get another beer, you haven't paid $25 to park, All of your buddies
can afford to come watch, You have reporters who can check-up on fallen
players and talk to the coaches at the half, you've carefully selected
comfortable furniture, and you can leave the game if it's getting boring
with the option of coming back if it looks more interesting when you check
back later.
And that's just what's off the top of my head at 6:30 am.
CW
needs you to come to the game so we can make money.

Hi!
I had some time before the game began to crawl around the Metrodome
looking for photo opportunities. The stands were still only about half
full as the prior game in D.C. hadn't finished and everyone was out in
the hall watching the TVs. Still, it gives you a "you are there" sort of
feel:

Very interesting. Given the fact that our company has a kinda basketball
team... I posted some pics from their sessions (I couldn't call it game or
play really ;-) ) some months ago...
I should say I just learned something from this shot.
A question to people who know better than me: is it right that except the
general atmosphere of *being there* there is no reasonable difference
between sitting at home in front of big TV screen and sitting on those top
rows?
Thanks for sharing.
Boris
