It’s well documented that live sports is like crack to me, there are a few reasons for that. The drama, unpredictability, the chance to see some spectacular, anticipation, the athletics, appreciating the skill involved and so on. Those are all fine things, but top of the list is the shared experience, the atmosphere created by a group of people all emotionally invested in what’s happening on the field of play.

That unity, the us-verses-them mentality makes for a very special atmosphere in the stadium or arena. I’ve been lucky and see some astounding  athletes do some incredible things, but it would mean a lot less if it were not for those around me, all of us unified in the moment.
