Milwaukee Bucks


Today I saw my first NBA-game: the Milwaukee Bucks against Charlotte bobcats, and to be honest, I did not feel like they played too much better than the school team here at Stritch. What was a lot better though was the stadium, all the audience and the music and cheering. It felt like being at a concert, where the atmosphere is so good that you get goosebumps all over your body, and a good feeling in your body. Before the game and between the rounds, there was a lot of entertaining things happening on the basketball field such as national hymne being sung, cheerleaders dancing, a live band playing, different competitions being held and free things being shot at the audience. When the game was over, me and a couple of friends decided to buy tickets for the basketball game between Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heats on the 26th of March. I am already looking forward to it.

College sports in the US

The culture of college sports, is something that we do not have at all in Norway. A lot of people here have their whole tuition paid for playing on the school's team, which can be up to 10 000,- per semester. This makes that a lot of people are practicing very hard to get in on the sports team, and make the level pretty high. Yesterday, I got the chance for the second time to play with the schools soccer team.We played against an Serbian team and won 14-3, whereas two that I scored. The school team is very international, and has players from ten different countries such as UK, Australia, Brazil and France to mention a few.
