The 2 most popular outdoor sports are not football, baseball, or soccer, and obviously it's not basketball, either since those events are held mainly indoors. The way they measure which sport is the most popular outdoor one is by the attendance at events, and number of people generally involved.Keep in mind, these sports are outdoors, not like basketball. Entirely Outdoors.

The first one of the 2 most popular outdoor activities or sports is birding, or birdwatching.How is birding a sport? For the most part there are no teams playing against each other. It is individual one person against nature .  Birding is similar to fishing as a sport because there are bird spotting and bird identification competitions.And both are outdoors in all kinds of weather.

You would be amazed at how many people are birding these days and it is a low-cost hobby or sport to participate in.  One last thing I want to mention about the expenses involved in this sport is that many birders invest in a quality pair of bird binoculars to get the most out of their birdwatching trips.

The second most popular sport is Nacar Racing and this amazed me when I read this fact.  However, what makes this such an incredibly popular event is that there are hundreds of thousands of fans attending the Nascar events, and there are a lot of them being held all around the country.

Did you know it would take 5 or 6 full house games at Fenway Park to match the number of people at one popular NASCAR event.No wonder NASCAR is listed as one of the top two outdoor sports activities. No way! You really could have fooled me!
