Everyone who loves sports at virtually every level has their favorite places to take in a game or event. In short — it’s just way cool. So what are the places on Cape Cod that provide for us some of those feelings, for better or worse? Well, we took a look at all the places we’ve seen games over the past year and here’s what we thought, mind you, these are strictly opinions and these places are not an attempt to “rank” anything. Enjoy.
Nauset Regional High School Gymnasium
As far as basketball gyms go, yes, we have to admit that the sky-high, old-school wooden bleachers that fold out to courtside opposing the home and away benches really make this place, as does the whole cavernous feel resonating with 1500 or 2000 screaming adolescents cheering on their school teams in the heat of a parquet battle. Chomping down on a bowl of homemade chili and taking in a five-on-five blitzkrieg is about the best bang for your buck you can get on the Cape in the mid-winter months and the whole ambiance is fostered by a friendly athletic department and its fully devoted coaches who understand that people come to be entertained by, if nothing more, sheer hustle and energy out on the main stage. All in all, this gym rocks whenever anyone comes to watch the Warriors play – for better or for worse – and you just can’t put a price tag on school spirit like that. It’s infectious. The place, in short, rocks.
