10/10 recommend Track Cycling. We have a velodrome at Cal State Dominguez (also known to football fans as the Stub Hub Center). I was lucky enough to attend a day when the World Cup came here 2 years ago. It was awesome. Obviously being in LA area it’s perks (especially now the Olympics are coming). I haven’t seen Ice Hockey or Figure Skating either. I’ve seen Cycling - Road and Track, Athletics - Diamond League, Modern Pentathlon, Special Olympics World Games - Roller Sports, Kayak, Sailing, Handball, Weightlifting - 2017 World Championships, Fencing - World Cup, and Football - Both US teams (friendlies)

Wow that is a lot. I have been to a lot of Detroit team sports though. I have seen the Tigers probably like 20 times. I have seen the Pistons 3-4 times. Red wings & Lions once each. I also went to PSG vs Roma friendly in Detroit.

@bmo Have you seen any international sports in person?

No I have not. There has been many events, like the U.S. figure skating championships this past year as well as U.S. women’s ice hockey vs Canada, in Detroit, but I just haven’t had the time to go. We actually have a velodrome in Detroit and I hope to go some day.

Yesterday, the U.S. won in handball, softball, twice in beach volleyball, and didn’t lose a squash match.  The bowlers all finished top 3.  Hopefully, it stays the same today.

I don’t understand how people have trouble with the sky serve.  I mean it’s still a volleyball.  It’s not like you are hitting a rock.  I know it’s easier said than done though.
