Ordinary games can become amazing experiences that will create unity and passion with one another.That’s why Pierce College should host sports watch parties for fans on campus to cheer local professional teams.
It is a common problem for new students to be scared to meet people.Attending an event with peers who share a mutual passion can be a great way to find friends. Students can do this easily with the high number of fans who are their age. About 41% of people 18-34 are casual sports fans with an additional 36% being avid, according to Statista.
Living in California, Pierce students do not have to worry about being short of exciting games to watch. According to Metro Atlanta CEO, California has 15 professional sports teams across the NBA, MLB, NFL and NHL, the most in the United States, with New York coming in second with 10.
With the high amount of teams in the state, there is almost always a winning team to cheer.
For some students, this can be their only resource of watching a professional game live. With the often expensive ticket prices and subscriptions needed to watch live games, some fans don’t have the luxury of watching their favorite team. According to StubHub, a ticket to a Los Angeles Lakers game typically starts at $58 , and one of the most used streaming service, YouTube TV, being $72.99 per month.
The prices and locations of these games can sometimes be difficult for a college student to participate. With events hosted by the school, it will be much easier for students to come and support the team that they love.
With their love of sports, Pierce students can make the college experience even more exciting, and they can even come out and support the Brahmas in school matches, as well.
