    I use a reporter's notebook...a holdover from my days in news when I just needed something I could put in my pocket. I usually have a scorebook for baseball, and scoresheets for other sports.
    The exception is football. I take a clipboard with enough papers for a play-by-play, and a stat sheet.
    Of course, if I have a laptop, I take notes on it.

    I usually have one or two steno pads or reporter notebooks in my purse at any given time. I prefer steno pads.

    Stenos for basketball, preprinted forms for football and baseball, reporter's notebooks for everything else.

    I've Quarked up my own stat sheets for many sports. Always use a legal pad to go along with those stat sheets at games, but use steno pads for non-stat sports and other stories. My natural handwriting is very large (once measured it at 14 points), so the reporter's notebooks are too small.

    That's what I go with, too.
