Spectator Sports - Fort Lauderdale, Florida



Spectator Sports

If you’ve got the time, we’ve got the teams in just about any sport—college or pro—and in any season. If you’re the type who waits all winter long for baseball, we’ve got it: Major League, Minor League, and Spring Training. If you long for the color and pageantry of football, we’ve got it—college and pro. If basketball season brings you out of your seat (either at the game or in your living room), we’ve got it. If soccer is “the beautiful game” to you, as it is to much of the world, we’ve got it. If, to you, there’s no sound quite like the crack of a hockey stick on a puck, we’ve got it—sorry, no college, only pro.

In fact, Broward County’s got balls of all sizes, colors, and shapes flying around all year long, as well as pucks. All you have to do is pick a sport, pick a day, and get in the car. Every day of the year here, someone’s playing it!
