No really. Why? My family room is much more comfortable and warm. My big screen TV gives me a better view of the action. I get to see replays, and using my DVR I can re-watch the replays as often as I like. I don't have to worry about some idiot spilling beer on me or yelling in my ear. I have access to as much Port as I want. I have access to far better food than is available at a sports venue.
And it doesn't cost me $300 to watch the game.

A day at LORD'S would indeed be a great way to understand that there's much more to being at a professional sporting event than the professional sport. There's eating, drinking, chatting, laughing, sleeping, drinking, eating and drinking, just for starters.
I applied for tickets to two separate Tests this summer but haven't heard anything. The draw closed on the 6th. Mind you they're not the quickest. If I'm successful, I'll let you know!
EDIT: (I understand that jumping a plane from the Northeastern US to come and watch a game you barely understand may not be your idea of fun. I won't be offended if you decline.)
