Calling all athletic admirers, it’s time to get our sporty spirits revved up for an adrenaline-pumping courtship. We’ll be trading in the dimly-lit restaurants for an arena of excitement, where hoots and hollers are the love language of the night!
Pregaming
- Choose Wisely: If you’re not avid sports fans, pick something with a bit of built-in spectacle like a hockey game, known for fights and quick action, or a Harlem Globetrotters game if you want pure entertainment.
- Score Big: Break out your team jerseys, face paint, or foam fingers! Getting into the spirit before you even arrive amps up the fun.
- Rival Recon: Do a little playful research on the opposing team. Find a fun “rivalry fact” to share with your date and ignite some competitive fire.
- We all gotta eat: Skip the stadium food and check out a local bar or restaurant popular with fans. Soak up the pregame excitement!
Score Major Points
- Friendly Wager: Before the game, come up with a playful bet. Loser buys post-game dessert, winner gets to pick the next date activity… get creative!
- Play-by-Play: Take turns inventing hilarious commentary on the action. Imagine you’re the sports announcers and let the absurd observations fly.
- Fan Cam Challenge: Strike silly poses, make funny signs, and go all-out in the hope of getting featured on the stadium’s fan cam!
Slam Dunk
- Victory Lap: Regardless of the score, continue the celebration at a local spot, or plan a cozy night in commiserating over the loss.
- Trivia Throwdown: Test your knowledge of the sport beyond the game you just saw. Look up some fun online trivia to quiz each other with.
- Highlight Reel: Recreate the best (or funniest) moments of the game with dramatic reenactments. Let loose and have some laughs.
Bonus Tip: Online ticket marketplaces like SeatGeek or StubHub sometimes have last-minute tickets at great prices.
