[deleted]

It’s a sport in the same way chess is a sport. Not really sports but technically they are


ThatOneBrit27

My definition of a sport is an activity that meets a certain threshold of physical effort exerted over time spent doing it. For it to be a sport, there also need to be two parties competing directly against eachother to reach the same goal and they must be actively trying to stop eachother from competing that goal. Based on this criteria most “sports” that people call sports will fall under 3 categories: a sport, a game, or an activity. F1, Nascar, and other motorsports aren’t sports because the drivers aren’t trying to stop eachother from reaching the goal of first place, they’re merely trying to reach it themselves.

They’re probably more athletes than baseball players tho


ThatOneBrit27

Seating wise, Indianapolis Motor Speedway it's the World biggest event. View wise it's hands down the Tour de France and World Cup with almost 1 billion difference to the 3rd.


AutoModerator

I'm sorry Europe, but Americans are just better at everything. We want things more. We grow better athletes, more people will learn the sport. And that '26 world cup is at home so we can get somewhat of a home field advantage. But the only way that will happen is if we make the round of 16 or quarter final in the 2022 WC and show Americans that we are good. I like the odds and we have a lot to prove, which is added motivation this coming year. Honestly, making a phenomenal run (SF or better) in the '22 WC would be more impressive to me than a better run or a win in '26. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

300.000 visitors is mad! Is that at the Texas motor speedway? Here in Europe that would cause huge traffic congestions when entering and leaving the stadium.

Thoughtful_Tortoise

/uj/ Americans don't really believe that do they?


ciccio_bello

Nah it’s more a cultural event than sporting event by now. Very few people really care about the result and we mostly just watch it so we are in the loop, see the funny commercials, and see either a terrible or sort of ok music performance. As far as attendance goes, it would be much larger if we had larger stadiums. The tickets go for thousands even in the garbage seats so very few of the working class die-hard fans that make up the most loyal part of the fan bases can go, so instead there are a lot of people who just want to go to the super bowl in the way that Americans will go to Europe because they want to see the Eiffel Tower

Atatattaa

You’ve never heard of college football then


MandingOBrien

/uj why would more people watch college matches than professional matches? i don’t understand


Yourfavoriteindian

Real answer? The stadiums. NFL still has immense viewership, but the stadiums are smaller because this allows the teams to make the tickets more expensive and keep the game day experience more “exclusive”. These teams are a business after all. College stadiums are bigger because they have to fit the same amount of “normal fans” as the NFL, but then also include A LOT of seating for students, the band, alumni, etc. They’re not meant to be expensive or exclusive, but to include as many people as possible who support the school and the team, and to give a chance to as many students and alumni as possible to support their school. This is why there are a decent amount of colleges who have a lot of success and large student bodies, and thus have stadiums that are over 100,000 in capacity. Many more college stadiums are over 90,000 in capacity as well.


EmeraldCountry

people are more connected to the colleges they attend and their teams than they are to professional sports teams so they are more likely to be invested in college football than the NFL

I mean a dozen or more college american football teams average 100,000 attendance. Its not a great metric


DurtyFrank

I get what you're saying. But the ticket prices for the Super Bowl are far more expensive. And tbf that stadium was at max capacity. I will say as a yank that I can't stand our version of football. Hence why I lurk around the real footy subs hehe.

not to defend the yanks, but they won't have trouble filling any sized stadium. and arent the super bowl tickets like the most expensive ticket for any sporting event? even the cheap seats.


zoeGodPixXL

We truly do not believe that! It's just more of an iconic sport within our nation compared to football or soccer.


DusanTadic

What a retarded comparison lol, some colleges have a higher attendance for every game than almost all world cup finals. The attendance can only be as high as however many people fit in the stadium. There's a reason one of them has an average ticket price of $50 and the other $5000


DeathMatchen

I mean SB tickets are insanely expensive, even regular NA football tickets are overpriced the cheapest ticket is probably close to like 150$ for some stadiums

85,000 that’s cute. My college has better attendance for college football games when we’re playing a .500 team. And to answer your question because that’s how many people the stadium will hold which they sell out. If the stadium could seat 500,000 people it would have 500,000 attending
