I always wanted to propose to my girlfriend at a sports game, but now that I come to think of it, is it too unoriginal? What do you think?

I think that you shouldn't propose to your girlfriend at a sports game, not so much because it's corny, but due to other more important reasons. No matter how big of a baseball fan your girlfriend is, the chaos and loud settings of the sports arena will make it virtually impossible for your girlfriend to maintain good focus and make such a momentous decision. She might be intimidated by the loud crowd cheering her on and feel pressurized. I would suggest you go for a more private marriage proposal that is just between you two.

If your girlfriend is as big of a fan as you describe her to be, I think she'll enjoy this kind of proposal even if some view it as a bit corny. It's important to add to wedding proposals a personal touch, and if baseball is a big part of her life, I'm sure she'll cherish this moment and be more than happy with this kind of proposal approach. Keep in mind though, that if your girlfriend has a more introvert sort of character, she might feel intimidated by the whole proposal and overwhelmed by it. Although it's been done a lot, I think that it's a nice proposal idea and it is a good story to reminisce back on! Whatever you decide to do in the end, I wish you the best of luck, and I hope congratulations will soon be in order!

Proposing at a football arena is exactly how I proposed to my then girlfriend (now wife), and it turned out to be a big success! So let me give you a few tips about how to approach this… If you don't already know this, it's better to for you to contact the arena beforehand and coordinate things with them as well. I arranged with the arena coordinators to propose during halftime break so that the camera men will know exactly when to focus on us and display us on the big screen. The arena people were so supportive, and even upgraded us to really good seats (when my wife asked me how come we got so lucky, I told her I won a raffle or something so I wouldn't ruin the surprise). As soon as I saw myself on the big screen, that was my queue and I got down on one knee in the middle of the aisle, asking for my wife to marry me. Everyone was cheering and the atmosphere was absolutely electrifying – my wife shouted "YES!" and cried her eyes out! I don't understand how people say it's not sentimental or personal, because for us it was just perfect! My wife loved my proposal idea and boasted about it to all of her girlfriends!

Corny as hell! This proposal idea used to be creative and original, but since every movie in history already depicted this sort of proposal, it's become very tacky. I don't think it's very sentimental to share this private moment with the rest of the world… marriage proposals should be much more personal. I know that personally I wouldn't want anyone to propose to me during a public sports game! It seems so threatening that everyone stares at you and looks at you with anticipation that you must say "yes"… If you're asking for my opinion, I say with full confidence that you SHOULDN'T propose in this manner!
