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.
I want to mention about the expenses involved in this sport is that many birders invest in a quality pair of bird binoculars and buy birding guides to get the most out of their birdwatching trips. If you are going to do serious fishing, you will spend about the same amount. Birding is such a low-cost hobby or sport that you would be stunned to learn how many people are birdwatching these days.
Honest, the second most popular sport is NASCAR Racing.No wonder NASCAR is listed as one of the top two outdoor sports activities. looking at the stats I can see how they got to that conclusion. What makes this such an incredibly popular sport is that there are hundreds of thousands of fans who go long distances to attend NASCAR events. Almost every weekend there is something related to NASCAR going on all around 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
When I shared this information at the office, no one else guessed the two most popular outdoor sports in America either. Right. Birdwatching and NASCAR racing.
Daniel is a NASCAR Racing fan so stop by and check out some articles on NASCAR and get the NASCAR schedule and news while you're there. I never would have imagined birdwatching!
