Have any of you ever been to a proper, full blooded English Premier league game?

I could name the whole premiership. i play and watch football. i wish i could watch a game in the premiership. i would love to go watch and arsenal game. all the other americans who are talking and saying that there is no room for it in america are so wrong. what about the mls games?? the are almost always sold out. and wat about when chelsea came to here in chicago?? it was sold out months in advance!! dont get me wrong i still watch american sports, but my fav sport as it should be for everyone is football, real football.

Never. There is no interest for that sport here or by the american audience. Even if you gave out free tickets to the most important match of the year people wouldn't go. There are enough sports here already that people are involved with, that trying to get soccer/football interest is useless. Between baseball, football (american), hockey, basketball, nascar, golf, tennis, etc. There is no more room for another sport.
Whether american sports are not to your liking thats not the issue, there is just no interest in soccer/football on a professional level. They draw less than 5000 people to a pro game here now and most of the people are people who live her from other countries.
I doubt you could find 5 Americans who could name you 5 teams in the English Premier league.

Im not american, im english. But why is it that none of u have anytime for the most popular sport in the world?? The world cup is the most watched sporting event in the world. And i really don't know why u say its boring, is it because the scores are not high scoring enough for u and they don't break into double figures. Your baseball world series has 2 countrys competing, thats not a WORLD series. I love football, and so does everyone else in the world, apart from u americans!!!!!! Your watching the wrong sports over there!!!!

Funny how the big matches are all sold out then, and the World Cup matches in 1994 were the best supported ones ever.

No. I wouldn't mind seeing Man U, Arsenal, or Chelsea though.
Full-blooded? No clubs have ALL English players.
that's part of the reason why they are so good. Look at players like C. Ronaldo, Henry, and Essien.

No, I've never been to one, I've never been to England, but it would be awesome to go. Especially to a Manchester United game. And to the guy who said 5 Americans couldn't name 5 ELP teams; Manchester United, Machester City, Liverpool, Fulham, Chealsea. There you go. There's one American. 4 other people name 5 too!

No, but I went to a German Bundesleague game. I loved it, the fans were incredibly passionate and fun to be around. It was like a big 90 minute party.

I think most Americans have never been to England, so most of the answers you are going to get will be "no"
