When was the last time you went to a ___?

And I am sure many a poster here have recommended where.

 

I went back and checked the box scores, and no. Wouldn't have even been able to see it on MLB.tv (I'm a Tigers fan), because I would be geo-blocked from seeing the FSD feed. Rod's "Second Deck" moment was in the first game of the series (on a Tuesday). Wednesday was a rainout, and we went to the second of the day-night doubleheader on Thursday.

 

MLB game: About two years ago in Oakland.

Interesting to see how many of us have traveled to foreign countries (including NYC ).

Not surprised by the disdain/lack of auto race attendance. For those of us in the boondocks, that means dirt track and mouthfuls of dust. For those in the south ... well, that's what college football is for!

No wonder no one voted for Trump around here ...

For clarification, I was not counting JC sports for the college sports subjects.
I was PIO for a JC for seven years. There were a lot of sporting events.

 

You're costing people scholarships, dude.

 

I have to note that while I have never seen Garth Brooks in concert, I covered his spring training tryout with the Padres. Decent field, less than no hit, but a super, super interview.

 

I'd love to watch a NASCAR race, but you know where I live and why that's a no go.
