New York is one of the most avid
sports
cities in America. TV stations cover most regular-season games and all postseason games in the big four American team sports -
baseball, football, basketball
and
ice hockey
. Some tickets can be hard to find, some impossible and most don't come that cheap. Bars - specifically
sports bars
- are a good alternative to actually being there.
Many participatory activities in the city are free or affordable. You can swim either at the local pools or the borough beaches, usually for a small fee; jog , still one of the city's main obsessions; or have your fill of spaces to bike or rollerblade . Tickets for most events can be booked through Ticketmaster (tel 212/307-7171), though it's cheaper - and of course riskier for popular events - to try to pick up tickets on the night of the event. You can also get advance tickets direct from the stadium box office . Other useful information
