Regardless of whether your favorite sport is soccer, baseball, football, basketball, or tennis, the following suggestions will help you and those seated nearby enjoy the big game even more.

Sit Down, Stand Up

Stay seated as much as possible, but when the announcer advises everyone to stand for the National Anthem, get on your feet, take off your hat, and place your hand over your heart. Unless you are in the last row of seats, keep in mind that when you stand up during the game, you block the view of those behind you. Jumping up at an exciting play is OK, but quickly sit back down.
