I don't watch sports but I would prefer at home. More comfortable. Plus I’m spoiled on having DVR with the ability to Pause, Rewind what I’m watching. Or as my husband does it, fast forwards through some plays!
I love being in the stadium. I'll never forget seeing Memorial Stadium for the first time when I was a kid...it was so wide and green and the players that I knew and cheered for were right there on the field. Amazing experience.
And there are so many things going on that you miss when watching on TV, like the runner leading from second base or the left fielder backing up. As well in soccer, there are the runs made away from the ball, the fights for position on a corner, and so on.
The big exception is football. That's a better sport to watch on TV, because the players are stacked into a small space on the field to begin the play, so you can't see things develop as well. You have to be close to the action, like at a high school game; if you're in a huge stadium, you miss too much.
