But it seems to be the most stressful to get in and out of, and the scrubs will be playing. I can see top-notch NBA talent in my local town all the time, but it would be cool to go to Madison Square Garden (and I love basketball) Yankee Stadium seems like it should be a goal of every red-blooded american. I've never been to an MLB game. Plus, it sounds the most laid-back.

The problem with NFL games is more often than not you just can't see what is happening very well. Football is actually far better on TV than in person. On the other hand, I think baseball is better in person... you have a greater field of view than the TV camera, and can watch the play unfold taking in the entire field, not just portions of it.
