When it comes to game day proposals, there are two kinds of people. There are those who think getting proposed to while their favorite team plays, with a huge crowd watching and cheering, is just about the most romantic way to get engaged. And there are those who would rather be ejected from a cannon than have one of the most intimate moments of their life shared with 50,000 fans plus the thousands watching from home.
We fall somewhere in the middle. We’d rather not share a private moment at a public event, but we completely get just how exciting and romantic it can be for couples to get engaged with the help of the team they love.
A game day proposal comes with a lot of pressure. Honestly, what if she says no? And worse yet, what if some drunk guy wearing face paint totally ruins the moment? Thankfully for these couples, their game day proposals went perfectly. Kudos to these guys for orchestrating these romantic game day proposals. And kudos to these ladies for having the composure to remember to say yes.
Tissues ready. Sound up!
This Mavericks Fan’s Game Day Proposal Comes With A Photobomb
We love a Kiss Cam moment as much as the next gal, but a Kiss Cam proposal comes with a whole host of extra stress. What if she says no? What if he drops the ring? Or, as is the case here, what if the guy sitting behind you is as stunned as the bride-to-be and totally steals the spotlight?
Thankfully, she wasn’t distracted by the hilarious reaction of the guy in the background even if we were.

It may be a bit before sports have returned and other lovely couples get to start their road toward the big day by proposing at the big game, but these romantic moments are inspiration and just the thing we needed to see to brighten our day. Now we’re re-thinking our whole stance on private moments being kept private. You?
