Name the 2 Most Popular Outdoor Sports
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.
Some sports enthusiasts keep statistics on how many people go to all kinds of events. Of course they do, they need to know where to put their advertising dollars. How many people are directly involved is one measure of popularity. This is only regarding sports that are entirely outdoors.
The first one of the 2 most popular outdoor activities or sports is birding, or birdwatching. How is birding a sport? For the most part there are no teams playing against each other. It is individual one person against nature. Both birding and fishing I can understand because even though you do not have to be an athlete to do them, you can get very competitive.
You would be amazed at how many people are birding these days and it is a low-cost hobby or sport to participate in. 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. If you are going to do serious fishing, you will spend about the same amount.
Really? Yes, I could not believe the second most popular sport is NASCAR racing.The second most popular sport is NASCAR Racing. This amazed me when I read this fact. I guess it is the excitement of the chase and watching the people changing ranks after or even during every event. There are hundreds of thousands of fans attending every NASCAR event all over the country.
It would take 5 or 6 sold out games at Fenway Park to equal the attendance of one popular NASCAR event. What makes this so popular? There are lots of NASCAR events all over the country and thousands of fans go to NASCAR events. They did the stats. That is how they came up with birdwatching and NASCAR as the top two outdoor sports
How about you? Did you guess correctly? Did you know the two most popular outdoor sports in America are birdwatching and NASCAR racing?
