Soccer vs Basketball

vs



I' ve been thinking about this quite a bit. I have loved basketball for a long time. Without my physical challenges I would have maybe pursued participating in it much more. I love to watch and I love to play it. Living in San Antonio only fueled that :)

Marrying a Scottish lad peaked my interest in futbol (aka soccer) and I have learned to love that game too. So.. without further adieu, here are my lists. (I know you are all on the edge of your seats!)

Top 5 reasons why soccer is better..

1. For 15$ a game you can sit practically on the field. No binoculars required. The players actually wave at YOU.
2. You have a hope in heck of meeting your star players. (even in the supermarket!)
3. Stadium seating doesn't make you feel like you are going to fall to your death.
4. Getting on the jumbo-tron actually happens!
5. Free Parking!

Top 5 reasons why basketball is better..

1. Really fast moving action! The game is constantly exciting and can change at any second!
2. Games every other day if you want them. These guys play hard and often.
3. Electric fan atmosphere. Nothing can beat the announcement of the starting lineup even!
4. Star power. These guys are seriously famous. (and TALL)
5. Fan gear. Oh the selection!!!

So, in conclusion... we have bought reasonably priced half-season tickets to FC Dallas but if I were independently wealthy and had my own plane I'd also seriously consider sitting courtside in the AT&T center. I just KNOW that this was all information that will be useful in your lives.

It's good to be able to make informed decisions and you have definitely provided the information we need. You crack me up!

Dude, you are too funny! My wish for you is independent wealth and a plane so you can fly me up all the time! BTW, someday I need to do an FCDaaa... game with you!

I think you may have sold me on soccer. They are building us a new stadium - we may have to check it out.
