I actually prefer to go to most athletic events by myself.

There are only two people I would've gone with me to Pasadena: my mom and my best friend. My mom couldn't go because of work/business, and my best friend didn't want to shell out that kind of money since Texas isn't his favorite team. So I went to the BCS Title game by myself...and enjoyed it.

Most people annoy me anyways. They want to leave when the game may be a blowout on top of the fact most of them think with emotion and zero logic when it comes to playcalls/penalties/etc.

My wife and I had season tickets to MSU football games this year as she is doing her Vet internship here. Luckily we were able to get student tickets so even at 28yo it was still a good time to sit in the student section. We had one game that she couldn't go to this year because of work that she insisted I go to without her. I went and I didn't have a very good time. Sure I got to watch more of the game I guess, but I guess I just enjoy it more with her then I do by myself.

I've done it. Doesn't really bother me. I can come and go whenever I want to. I'd rather go with at least one other person though.

Preferably I'd go with at least one other person. But like others have said, it really depends on how far away you live from the stadium/arena. I'd never go to a Yankees game alone. Can't imagine hopping a 45-60 minute train into the city and then bopping around on the subway for another 20 minutes alone. Going into the city is a group trip for me. Devils games I'd go to alone in a heartbeat. Again, I'd prefer someone else there with me, but it's just a 20-30 minute train ride and I'm there.

I plan on going to a few minor league games this year alone. Not sure how many people I can get to go to A-AAA games with me, but I'm sure if I get to go to any Indians games it'll be with other people

I do it on a regular basis and prefer it.

There aren't too many A's fan's out here with me in PA and it is hard to convince non A's fans to drive to Cleveland or Baltimore and get a hotel room for a night or two and go to a couple games.

I really enjoy going to the games by myself...I hate distractions!

Went to my first game, a soxs game, not a fan but seats too good to pass up

living in AZ and having every spring site within an hour of my house I will go by myself when I get the chance. My wife will hit the Cub games with me but I simply check out who is slotted to pitch and then check for the best available about two hours beforehand - yields some outstanding seats.

regular season? no. Homerun derby next year though? By myself if I have to.
