➢ share the joy of victory with their favourite team

➢ What is the difference between watching sports events at home and at the stadium?
Well, watching a game at home people get more comfort as they don't have to queue
for food or toilets for hours, get cold if the weather is not really good and waste hours
after the game to get out of the parking lots. Instead, they can enjoy the warmth of
their home, the company of their close friends and unlimited snack breaks during
long timeouts and halftime. They can also easily pause the game and not miss out on
any of the action and, of course, replay the episodes they want to see one more time.
Watching a match at the stadium people get first hand touch of the event and create
long-lasting memories of a fun and entertaining atmosphere created by a large
number of fans. One more advantage they get being at the stadium is a chance to
focus on anything that catches their attention as they are not restricted to a particular
view of the camera, which is unfortunately impossible watching a game on TV. Oh,
and the last difference I see is the fact that going to the stadium can cost people
quite a bit of money, while enjoying the game at home is for free.
