While I agree with Loves and say that your proposal should depend entirely on your beloved and what is important to both of you, here's an idea I just had.
Go on a road trip.
When she is driving, suggest playing Mad Libs. Have a custom Mad Lib already made up.
Read it back to her. It will go something like this:
Once upon a time, there was an (adjective) man named Chris who fell in love with an (adjective) woman named ____. He loved her for her (adjective) smile, her (adjective) heart, and her beautiful (plural noun). He knew he couldn't (verb) without her, and one day on a car trip, he asked her to (verb) him. She said (verb ending in -ing) yes! And they (verb, past tense) (adverb) ever after.
Make sure you start reading this near a rest stop so 1) she can pull over instead of staring at you, because confusion will hit about halfway through, and 2) you can give her the ring and then go roll around on some grass.
Those videos were hilarious. I think that it's extremely impersonal to propose to someone in the middle of a huge crowd like that. Sports and romance don't go together in my book.
OP, you need to find the girl and then do something tailored to her interests. Do it in a way that is sweet and personal. Unless you know for a fact that she would love something extravagent, propose in a classic way. Just the two of you, somewhere special.
Lol lots of ideas here. One afternoon my boyfriend and I were walking in a big field next to some train tracks and talking, when out of nowhere I made the comment 'we should get married'. Next thing you know, we were married.

Oh my goodness!! JustJulia, will you marry me!? lol - I love that post! I have to pass this idea along, it's so original. And so sweet!
To the OP, albeit a bit concerning that you're thinking of ways to propose before even having someone to propose to, it makes me worry that you'll launch into a relationship to test it out, when the proposal has nothing to do with her, just trying out one of your brilliant ideas. Don't look for someone to marry and pre-plan how to package it. But with that being said, proposing to a woman could have everything in the world to do with.. how you first met, your first date, or an inside joke the two of you share, that brings you closer together- so many possibilities that you can't think of, because you haven't created the memories to base them around yet.
Op, I think it's great you want to do a special proposal. That's awesome.
But you're going to have to wait till you meet the one you want to marry. Because for it to be really special, it has to be tailored towards here.
You could drop tons of money and go to all the effort for some big, fancy display that could be as generic and meaningless as white bread.
Or you can get to know this special woman really, really well...and find a way that really speaks to her, who she is, her likes/dislikes, a special memory you have together, etc.
That is my recommendation to you. Good luck!
