Fall is the best season for American sports. The air is crisp and there are plenty of games to watch on both the professional and collegiate level. And not only are there lots of games to watch, it’s the best and most exciting part of the season for many of them. In September and October, playoff Major League baseball seems to always be on TV because there are so many games in each series. And not only is MLB dominating the airwaves, but Little League World Series and World Championship baseball is also on. (And obviously all of the MLB series culminate with the World Series). Also in Fall, professional and collegiate football are in their opening few weeks and the players are still fresh from summer training camp and giving it all they have on the field. And at the end of Fall, hockey season commences with a bang.
For a lot of people, the most enjoyable and comfortable way to watch your favorite team is often in your own home in front of your high definition TV. True, being at the game and being amidst all the action is exhilarating and quite exciting, especially during the Fall months when the weather is still pleasant and warm enough to tailgate in the parking lot before hand and sit in your seat during the game without 7 layers of coats to keep warm. But unfortunately these days ticket prices are through the roof. And not only are ticket prices high, but often times you have to pay for transportation or parking which can really add up. Then once you’re at the game, food and drinks in and around the stadium or ball park have prices so inflated that you have to double or even triple check your bill when it comes time to pay. Ten dollars for a hot dog? Fifteen dollars for a soda and fires? I don’t think so. What’s more, not only is it expensive for an individual to go to a sports game, but if you are also paying for your family you may find yourself spending hundreds of dollars.
So come September, when football season is in full swing, its good to know that your investment in the high-def TV sitting in the living room was a good one and will pay off and then some. Call over your friends, your neighbors and your family to watch the game. It will be so clear that you will feel like you’re there. Only you’re still in the comfort of your own home and a couple hundred extra dollars in your pocket. The food that you buy in the grocery store will most likely be better and healthier for you that the food you purchase at a sports game, not to mention much cheaper. There are usually quick and easy recipes to make on game days that you can try to make for your friends on the Food Network and other cooking shows on satellite tv.
