It's better than living in Fenway Park. The park part I love-- like, grass and a lake and stuff-- but then there's the baseball thing. I didn't even know what baseball was before I moved here. I still don't, but I now know that it involves hordes and hordes and hordes and hordes and hordes of assholes and drunks clogging MY STREET. When they're not here, it's lovely. It's gorgeous. But when they are, it's smelly and loud and difficult to navigate.
And then there was the night that Jimmy Buffet was playing there when I was just trying to walk home from work. Far far away, I hear music. Not good, but obviously loud. Closer I got, louder it got. Drunkards staggering around in grass skirts and leis. I was really confused, but then Margaritaville started playing and it all began to make sense. So! That's my unwanted claim to fame. I heard Margaritaville live.

Large crowds of anything, sports, politics, religious groups, etc. are almost always comprised of mostly the dumbest and most ignorant types from that particular group that you will ever find. That's why they're fanatical, they're weak by themselves so they are drawn to crowds for support, and what's worse is that in the crowed, they feed off of one another and become even more ignorant than before.
Chances are if you could get the majority of these people alone for a while, you could actually talk sensibly with them, you might even find some of them to be intelligent people just drawn in by other people's stupidity.
I hate sports, too, but I don't find the morons that go to sporting events much different from the morons who go to dance/rave clubs.
