This is definitely situational.
High Schools: Khakis/polo are appropriate 99 percent of the time. Sneakers or loafers. Just make sure they're not your grass-cutting shoes. As for color, when I cover games I try to wear a shirt that's not in either team's color scheme. In the south from June to September, a pair of nice shorts should be fine for outside venues.
Colleges: Depends on where and what time of year, but khakis/polo work most of the time. It's not unusual to see lots of button-down shirts in the press box/press row at college football and basketball games. My theory is you'd rather be overdressed than underdressed.
Pro: A little dressier, though this also depends on where and when. In general I'd stick with slacks and a button-down shirt at minimum and work up from there.
Virtually everything else for me falls in the "when in Rome" category. X-Games sports? Vans, cargoes and t-shirts would offend nobody. Golf is obviously more conservative.
