There's nothing more romantic than proposing in front of thousands of drooling fans slobbing on their hot dogs and fries, all pumped for kickoff or in a euphoric state from a breathtaking win.
Many girls love public displays of affection, and a flashy sports proposal is the perfect way to steal their hearts.
With linebacker Greg Jones proposing after the Super Bowl, and Olympic swimmer Matt Grevers recently asking the famed question from the medal stand, now is the ideal time to look at other athletes who risked it all for love.
Here are the 10 best marriage proposals in sports.
Hold on tight, it could get inspirational up in this piece.
10. Ben Graham
A pitcher in the Washington Nationals' farm system, Ben Graham is also a hopeful romantic.
The only question now is whether she would've said yes if he wasn't wearing a Santa outfit.
This Claus brought the ultimate gift.
9. Clent Stewart
Oh yeah, he made it into Sportscenter Top 10.
Huge win.
8. Blue Cooper
After catching the game-winning touchdown in his final home game, UTC's Blue Cooper clearly wasn't finished.
And oh yeah, she said yes.
7. Manuel Rieke
German volleyball player Manuel Rieke hit the spike of his life with this marriage proposal.
Now go pound some refreshing Hoegaardens to set the mood right.
6. Aaron Feld
Sure he's a long snapper, but Mississippi State's Aaron Feld was the main man on this day.
He snapped his way into obscurely-named girlfriend Blakely Bailey's heart.
5. A Beware Tale
Now that we're halfway through, let's take a second to gain some perspective.
Sure it's messed up (albeit hilarious), but this sad story should serve as a learning experience.
Men, don't every tell your girlfriend "I don't want to (profanity) marry you."
Watch this bro's fall from grace.
Hard not to wince.
4. Brady Martinez
Who cares about the proposal, Brady Martinez's girlfriend got to throw out the first pitch!
Sure she said yes, the two slobbered all over each other and both took their seats, but the Yankees minor leaguer had to prepare himself to pitch.
Quite the eighth inning it was.
3. Greg Jones
What a perfect finish to one hell of a Super Bowl for the New York Giants.
Sure the season is over, but at least they have a wedding to look forward to.
2. Matt Grevers
First step, win a medal.
Second step, shock his girlfriend.
Third step, shower.
1. Ian Johnson
If this reporter didn't screw it up, Ian Johnson's proposal following Boise State's epic 2007 Fiesta Bowl win on a two-point conversion statue of liberty run would've been perfect.
After scoring the winning touchdown, Johnson received the winning answer.
Precious.
