This is a very busy time of year to be a sports fan!  There are the baseball playoffs, college football, professional football and basketball all happening simultaneously.  Hockey would be in the mix if the NHL Lockout wasn't happening.  If you don't have tickets to the game, you'll probably want to catch the action at a sports bar with big screens and great food.  There are more televisions than you can possibly watch at once and better than stadium  eats.  There also isn't the nightmare of trying to get out of the parking lot.

The camaraderie among fans wearing their favorite player's jerseys just adds excitement to the atmosphere.  To hear the cheers and jeers for the teams is really something to experience.  In some families, watching sports is like a religion.  Even if you are a fan of a fan rather than a fan of a team, you are sure to have a good time.
