Event #4: Sporting Event

So, this semester I never really got a chance to go to any of the sporting events. However, I feel that I have missed out on a lot. It’s just that I’m not interested in sports at all. I did win phase one tickets for one of the basketball games, but I ended up not going. This past Sunday I went to visit one of my friends who stays at Avery. The most amazing thing was that they can watch the baseball games that go on from their balcony. Coincidently, there was a baseball game going on. UNC was playing against Maryland. Hence we both decided to sit in the balcony and watch the game. It wasn’t as exciting as a basketball game, but the crowd still seemed very excited.

Even though it was not as crowded, the audience cheered for the team throughout the game. However, the cheering was much louder whenever there was a homerun. The best part was that we won the game. The excitement of going to a game just doubles when your choice of team wins. So, it was definitely very exciting to see UNC beat Maryland. While enjoying the game, I also learned a little more about the rules of baseball and how it’s played. After watching this game, I realized what I have missed out on all year long. Attending sporting events really keeps you in spirit, and it is definitely a good way to support your school and its team. I’ll definitely try to attend more sporting events next year.
