Is popping the question at a sporting event a bad call?

Over the years we've seen plenty of proposals at sporting events. It almost became a trend in Rio with a handful of Olympians getting down on one knee.

But popping the question doesn't always go as planned. As you may have seen on Tuesday, a Yankees fan experienced some technical difficulties.

Whether you think the idea is played out or it still gives you major feels, much like live sports, when it comes to a stadium engagement, things may not go your way.

Let's just say, there are no rules of engagement when it comes to these sport proposals.

Spoiler Alert: You're about to be proposed to

The 2007 Fiesta Bowl might be one of the greatest college football games ever. Underdog Boise State managed to win the game in overtime on a Statue of Liberty play thanks to star running back Ian Johnson.

At the end of the post-game interview the reporter spits out "Now, I know you're going to propose to your girlfriend! Congratulations!", with Johnson's lady standing right beside him.

The scene was still touching despite the loud-mouthed reporter.

When I say romance you say… hot dog-eating contest?

A proposal is usually one of the most romantic moments of someone's life. But do we ever envision it taking place at a hot dog-eating contest? Doubtful.

While technically not a fail since she did say yes, we think competitive eater Joey Chestnut could have stepped up his game a little.

Proposals and booze should never mix

This unnamed pair cheered loudly in support of their favourite rugby team and seemed to be on the same page in terms of both excitement and alcohol intake. That is until he asked her to marry him on national television. Her reaction is absolutely priceless.

Announcers can't believe their eyes

At this point, failed marriage proposals at sporting events almost all seem staged, but based on the announcers' utter shock it's a pretty safe bet that this one is the real deal. While the poor guy didn't get the girl, at least another fan handed him a beer on his way out.

Taking it one step too far

Let's set the stage: The proposer is a soccer coach for a U.S. college team that his girlfriend plays for. The proposer decides to fake an injury during a scrimmage causing his girlfriend (and everyone else) to gather around him to see if he's okay. This could have been a good psych-out except he didn't let up the act, eventually causing his future fiancée to start crying. While she may have said yes, she was clearly unimpressed by the stunt.
