One of the items we bake into our itinerary when we travel within the US is an ingrained American cultural phenomenon - 'watching a game.' Be it football (rugby), soccer, ice hockey, baseball, or basketball, you will have a stadium filled with loud fans, cheering (the home team) and jeering (the away team), chomping on pizza and fries, sipping soda and beer, wearing their favorite team or player jersey and cap.
Being a basketball fan, we catch NBA (and WNBA where applicable) games when we visit the home ground of where a home team is playing on a day we're there.
Watching an NBA game is more than just witnessing athletic prowess; it's an immersion into a quintessential American experience. From the electrifying loud atmosphere of packed arenas to the rhythmic chant of passionate fans, which we join too, each game is a spectacle of sportsmanship and entertainment. The energy is palpable as the crowd rallies behind their teams.
This has now become a 'thing' for us, and though we don't yet have any favorite team or player, it is always fun to join the crowd but applaud for both teams who're giving it their best.
