I hated competitive sports in my school years because I was so terrible at it.Even years later I couldn't even walk past a tv set when someone was watching a football game without feeling a wave of nausea.
Sporting events are thankfully not a tricky one for me, 'cause I'm not at all interested in sports! That makes it easy. Thus there is no conceivable reason for me to be anywhere near a stadium and...everything that means.
I've only been to a few sporting events in my life because I don't really care for sports, but the screaming and the jostling drives me up a wall.
I have never really ever entered a sporting event by the main gates. I was with the marching band, performing at halftime show. We used the players entrance. I always arrive extremely early to a concert, or right about when show is about to start. Most of the crowd is gone by then or not there yet. It is just how I handle the places. I hate the noise the crowd more on the TV than live for sporting events or even concerts, just how it sounds so different on tape/video. Like I said before I sit in noise bleed seats or back rows, it helps with the level of noise. I always choose an isle set for me, so I can escape. What I detest about events in stadiums? disgusting bathrooms, my OCD is so triggered there.

Yes, the bathrooms 🤮🤮🤮 that’s so cool about being with the band though - what instrument did you play? I also always want the aisle seat whenever possible - hate the feeling of being trapped in the middle of a row
2:47 I know the feel butt that's too real 😂
That's how I felt when when I chose to go to a football game at FedEx Field stadium
The mystery of this video is: why on EARTH would you go to a sports game? There was no upside. As you said, you'd rather stay home and watch it on t.v. I'm struggling to locate opposing forces here, pro and con, getting only "con."
I always want to sit at the edge, next to an aisle.
Malls....every fkn shop has music.
😂😂 I can relate! I experience this exact stuff at baseball stadium and concerts. 🫨
