    In person has to be NBA or NHL. The worst seats are still good seats with a decent view. You are also indoors so weather isn't a factor and both games move at a faster pace than MLB or NFL.

    Of those 4, Hockey. Baseball is too boring unless it's all offence, football is 3.5-4 hours for a 60 minute game, I guess basketball would be second, but the final 2 minutes of a game could last 30 minutes.

    How you leave out the biggest sport in the world baffles me...soccer.

    But, nothing compares to Wrestlemania.

    I'd go hockey then baseball.

    I love the experience of being at a baseball game, warm summer night, outside, ice cold beer. When I put a game on TV, it's kind of on in the background.

    I think my problem with hockey has always been me sitting in high seats.

    Heh, I feel like when I'm at the ballpark with friends the game is kind of the background too.

    Hm interesting. I've always been in the high seats for hockey and I think it's awesome because you can see the whole ice and see something developing like the players do.

    If we are going cheap seats/bleachers/high seats, I'm going:
    Hockey, Basketball, Baseball, Football.

    Maybe it changes the closer you get to the court/field/ice, but I wouldn't really know, haven't experience that yet, only for basketball.

    This is a tough one. Hockey is fun, but I think I like the NFL the best because you get a vantage point of the entire field, rather than a limited portion that fits in the camera. You don't always get to see the match ups you want on TV. With Hockey, Baseball, Soccer, and Basketball you get to see it all for the most part. I love watching Hockey live, especially when fights break out so it takes a close 2nd. There's just so much energy in the air.

    But come on, no bikini beach volleyball?

    If we're talking front row tickets, I'd probably choose Basketball, because of how close you are to the court. Hockey would be awesome front row as well.

    Wrestlemania is pretty awesome live. I went to one of them (WM 20) and it was a blast. I don't follow WWE any more but they sure know how to put on a show.

    MLB is the most DANGEROUS game to watch in person, at least for those in field level boxes. As the game grinds on in the late innings and the beer helps lull the fan into unconsciousness, BAM! that foul ball comes screaming at one's head. If you've ever sat in any stadium in the first row behind the dugout, you'll know what I mean.

    Hockey. It's insane how much different it is in person. You cannot get a sense for how fast they are moving on television.

    I guess no one enjoys watching Pool.

    You guys should check out the Kentucky Derby, its definitely an event to remember.
