Some people think that seeing live events is better than watching them on television. Others think that it is better to watch the same events on television at home. Discuss both sides and give your opinion. There is no worse place to watch a big game than at the stadium, especially when you are not going with a number of friends. Experiences of seeing other live events like baseball, basketball, hockey matches or even popular music concerts could just be different, but definitely it is better to watch the same football event on an HD screen. Ironic but true, some fans believe they have to watch television because they miss too much by actually being there. To begin with, it is more comfortable to watch a football game on TV because you get a better view of the game rather than getting stuck at nose-bleed seats. Money being not the issue with going to the game, there are a lot of inconveniences such as dealing with the traffic, and the drunk, rude people sitting next to you, the lines for toilets, and sometimes the hours it takes to get out of the stadium, not to mention the bad weather plus violent incidents. My particular concern, however, is the lack of replay. And believe it or not, often the most interesting and dramatic part of the event can be seen only on cable TV. And this is my personal reason for refraining from seeing live events. Instead I would rather have families to watch the same events at home, even though the games are fun to go if you are with the right friends.) |
