How to Plan a Date for a Sports Fan

1. Head over to a professional sports game. Cheap tickets aren’t hard to find. There are usually last-minute tickets available at the box office on the day of the game or you can search a website for discounted tickets. Another option is to go to a minor league game. It’s a different experience than going to a professional game and the tickets are cheaper.

2. Go to dinner at a sports-themed restaurant. It’s a casual, fun atmosphere where sports memorabilia decorates the walls. The menu is usually decorated with sports-named dishes and games and sports shows can be found blasting on television sets around the restaurant. When choosing a sports-themed restaurant, make sure to check its website and also read reviews on the restaurant before going to eat.

3. Look within a reasonable distance from your home for an autograph signing by your dates favorite athlete. You can also look for various events that the athlete will be making an appearance at. Taking your date to the autograph signing or event will give him or her a chance to see their favorite athlete up close and personal and even possibly have the ability to meet them. Most athletes have a personal website, so check the schedule of where they will be appearing.

4. Take your date for a day of sports playing. Have you and your date play various sports together in local parks followed by a picnic of typical sports food such as hot dogs or hamburgers. Not only is it great exercise, but it brings out the competitive spirit in both of you.

5. Take your date to an extreme version of their favorite sport. Consider taking them on a date for a private ballpark tour if they are a baseball fan, go stock-car driving if they are a racing fan, or do private lessons for a sport that they’ve always wanted to try. It’s a great experience, it goes outside of the norm of the usual date and it’s a memorable experience that both of you can share together.
