  • The hot take favors attending this fictional sporting event above all others: Game Seven overtime plus surviving an extraordinary incident would create a lifelong story.
  • The Natural’s pennant-winning game is a competing event-attendance choice, with The Longest Yard also appealing.
  • A1995 football version imagines Van Damme replacing Jason Sehorn at cornerback and breaking up a pass.
  • Replacing punter Sean Landeta is an alternative football version, titled Coffin Corner; current overtime rules undermine the title Sudden Death.
  • A new stadium-terrorism movie starring the Rock at a baseball game is proposed.
  • Professional lacrosse is another proposed setting that might welcome the publicity.
  • The World Series of Poker is another joking setting.
