I was reading an article the other day talking about television networks and their advertising revenues when I came across this interesting fact. The article was giving data about the two most popular outdoor sports in the USA.
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.
No kidding. I could not believe the second most popular sport is NASCAR racing. But 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 attending the NASCAR events, and there are a lot of them being held all around the country. I was astounded by this discovery.
What makes NASCAR racing such an incredibly popular spectator sport? There are hundreds of thousands of fans attending NASCAR events. And NASCAR has a lot of racing events all around the country. Just think how many people would have to fill your baseball stadium to equal the number of people at a Nascar event. It is the stats folks. The statistics about the numbers of people. That is how they came up with birdwatching and NASCAR as the top two outdoor sports. You really could have fooled me!
How about you? Did you guess correctly? Did you know the two most popular outdoor sports in America are birdwatching and NASCAR racing?
NASCAR racing is one of Daniel's interests so you can see some interesting articles and pick up schedules and news at his site. You just might be surprised to discover other interesting facts there too. Like Birdwatching?
