What it feels like

Reading the room, traveller by traveller

  • With friends

    One of the great live-sports nights in America — raucous, communal, and unforgettable.

  • As a couple

    A fun, high-energy date if you both like a crowd; less so if you want quiet.

  • Multigenerational

    A classic shared outing across generations, though the long game and cramped seats test young kids.
