Definitely do if you can.
Back in 2012 when I lived there I managed to get to home games of the Giants, Fighters, Buffaloes and Baystars. Always a fun experience.
My favourite stadium was the old Sapporo Dome, I’m sad that its gone but I’d love to go to the new one if life ever takes me back to Sapporo.

It took me a few laps to figure out the rev limiter but once I did I caught the leader in five laps. They had the flag out for other cars to let me pass.

I was a soccer fan as a child and now I work as a sports journalist/columnist. My favorite sports now are speed skating (long track, short track, inline), cycling, motorcycle speedway (that one where they race bikes without brakes on dirt ovals), tennis. Also try to follow MotoGP.
As for soccer - now I’m not that avid fan as I was as a kid, but still follow it (mostly because that’s what most of my job is about)).

Game 4 of the NBA Finals! Holy crap, what a historic, unprecedented, come-from-WAYYY-behind win for the Knicks!
My wife has never, ever been a fan of any sports, but she fell for basketball and the Knicks as we watched Game 3…initially for an ulterior reason.
I’m not any kind of sports fan myself, but I know how all are played. I explained the rules as Monday’s game progressed, and she was fascinated by the obvious graceful athleticism by both champion teams. She was then eager to watch Game 4.
At halftime of Game 4, the Knicks were 27 points down, and my wife was bummed and totally resigned that they’d lost.
I told her that the most dramatic games have historically been won or lost in the very last seconds of the game — that such cases didn’t just happen in the movies. But hearing about something is definitely not as real as witnessing it firsthand.
In the second half, the Knicks came out hot while the Spurs caved. The pressure was on and it wouldn’t let up for the rest of night.
My condolences to Spurs fans, but, man, what a truly historic last six seconds, culminating in a Hollywood-story ending for the New York faithful in Madison Square Garden, Central Park, all around the city and the world.
The two teams played their hearts out, with truly spectacular performances throughout the game. But only one could win, and the Knicks delivered for themselves and their fans when it counted the very most. It was history in the making.

Tipped in by a Spur from the looks of it.
I detest watching hoops except for the occasional last minute of a Celtics game.
Soccer makes basketball my all time favorite sport in comparison.
World cups have ruined our car shows at Patriot Place until mid July and the crime rate will surely climb in relation to bad actors who just want to stir up trouble. My only real concern is the potential illnesses being brought in from far away lands. I will keep myself and my family away from any gathering to stay healthy. This is not to say everyone will affect what is normal seasonal issues. My wife had major surgery and has to avoid crowds and wear a mask anyway. I am looking at surgery on my rotator cuff and cannot afford to get sick which will delay things. Timing should get me back to full use by September if all goes well.

If you’re referring to the tip-in that put the Knicks ahead by one point to win Game 4, you are incorrect.
OG Anunoby swooped in and tipped in Brunson’s 3-shot anttempt all by himself, as was obvious as it happened and as is crystal-clear in several camera angle shots, including from the top of the backboard itself.
