If this was genuine, and not an act, it sounds to me like this guy didn't really know his girl all that well. I won't wade in to the "tacky vs. romantic" war on these kinds of proposals, but there is a key lesson to be learned here - know your audience! (meaning your girlfriend, not the ones in the stands)
As for my thoughts on engagement, I think Joel said it best (paraphrasing) - "being engaged is like being married except without all the benefits." :D
