Can you name the 2 most popular outdoor sports in America?
Written by sports blogger on May 8, 2009 – 3:40 pm -I was reading an article the other day talking about television networks and their advertising revenues when I came across this interesting fact.
The 2 most popular outdoor sports are not football, baseball, or soccer, and obviously it’s not basketball, either since those events are held mainly indoors. The way they measure what the most popular outdoor sport is by attendance at events, and number of people generally involved. You also have to remember that we’re talking about sports that are strictly outdoors.
The first of the 2 most popular outdoor activities or sports is birding, or birdwatching.Birdwatching as a sport is a little like bass fishing tournaments, humans and nature, not teams against teams.Birding and fishing have a lot in common as sports. They both require finding and identifying the animals and they both have field competions.
Birding is such a low-cost hobby or sport that you would be stunned to learn how many people are birdwatching these days. One last thing I want to mention about the expenses involved in this sport is that many birders invest in a quality pair of bird binoculars to get the most out of their birdwatching trips.
Honest, the second most popular sport is Nascar Racing. I was asounded by this discovery.What makes this so popular? There are lots of NASCAR events all over the country and thousands of fans go to NASCAR events.
Did you know it would take 5 or 6 full house games at Fenway Park to match the number of people at one popular NASCAR event.No wonder NASCAR is listed as one of the top two outdoor sports activities.
Daniel is a Nascar Racing fan so stop by and check out some articles on Nascar and get the Nascar schedule and news while you’re there
