For sports fanatics, living near a sports arena can be a dream come true.
Living in a sports city is like watching any sporting event, be it football, baseball, basketball or even water polo: People are going to have differing opinions on what the experience is like.
If your team stomped its opponent, you'll probably leave concluding that a good time was had by all, and that it was the best game you've ever seen. If your team was the one that was humiliated, and the goon sitting behind you spilled a drink down the back of your shirt, it's safe to say that you'll leave with a different opinion.
Likewise, homeowners who live near a sports venue have varying opinions. Knock on any door, and what one homeowner will tell you will probably be the opposite of what the next person will say. Whatever the opinion, it's definitely a unique lifestyle. If you've ever wondered what it's like, listen to what locals who live the reality every day have to say.
