Sporting Events Bucket List

Wow...narrowing it down to 3 is tough, so I'll be a jerk and not even really try:

1. Michigan v. Ohio State at The Big House
2. World Cup Final (very well could happen, I'm planning on Brazil in 2014)
3. Super Bowl (preferably not the Skins)

4. Barca v. Real Madrid Clasico
5. Lambeau Field
6. Iron Bowl
7. Arsenal v. Man U at The Emirates
8. Wrigley Field afternoon game
9. Yanks and Saux at Fenway

If you can't tell, I've actually thought about this quite a bit. Actually, a buddy of mine and I have discussed taking 1 trip a year to a different college football stadium for a rivalry game.

For those that say Fenway, I have probably been to that stadium more then any other stadium in my life time. I say over a 100 times. I will have to say it is kind of a pit compared to say Camden Yards. I imagine Lambaeu is much the same but it is for the history of the game and I get that as well.
Yep, for me it's strictly history. Camden Yards is still my favorite ball park, but I'm a fan of the game and would love to take in games at Fenway and Wrigley.

The Masters where Tiger Woods was in the hunt on Sunday.

To SS33 been to the old Garden many times as well. Saw Bird play Jordan on a Sunday afternoon, it was so awesome. I went with a youth group and we got there really early and they let us in. Joe Kline was warming up and I yelled his name he looked right at me I said you suck. Which he did, in those days he was always the Celtics momentum killer when he came in the game.I have extended family up there that I haven't seen since I took my Mom to see the Celtics play the Mavs in the final season. Uncomfortable wooden seats, no dance team, no lasers/light show, many banners in the old rafters.....I went down to the floor after the game and got to walk out on the floor.....it was awesome.

If the Bruins and C's were both deep in the playoffs there was always a issue of fogging when they put the ice down for the B's. I think the place never had true air conditioning.

In no order...

Kentucky Derby- We may go next year.
Wrigley Field
Fenway Park
Field Level seats at a Braves game.

Can't think of anymore.

Some off the top of my head:

- A World Series game, preferably featuring a team I root for clinching the championship.
- A Stanley Cup game, same as above
- The Olympics, summer or winter as long as its in a cool place and I have tickets to interesting events
- Watching the Skins win the NFC Championship, that way I can enjoy the Super Bowl from home.
- Running the Marine Corps Marathon. I just got into distance running, I've done two half-marathons since December, but I think this would be my ultimate goal. Maybe next year, since the race will be the weekend before my big 3-0.

My bucket list begins with my baseball stadium pursuit. My five brothers and I have been in a fierce competition to be the first to be able to say that he has seen every MLB team play at least one regular season or post-season home game. I think we're all down to single digits. I have the Padres, D-backs, Rangers, Astros, Blue Jays, Marlins, and Braves left. The Rangers stadium is the one I'm most anxious to see among them. My favorites of those I have seen are PNC Park, Wrigley, and the old Tiger Stadium. The distant worst is unquestionably Tropicana Field. That stadium was such an awful place to watch a baseball game, it was almost unreal.

Second for me would be to see a Red Wings game in Detroit. As I understand, it's as intense as a home game gets.

Third would be seeing a college football rivalry game, be it Michigan-Ohio State, Alabama-Auburn, etc.

@ArtMonkDrillz--good luck with the marathon. I did the Marine, and I'll tell you, you'll get emotional running those last dozen or so yards with those Marines cheering you on.

My bucket list sporting event would be the Super Bowl. No other game would be able to compare to that. I bet it would feel like an out of body experience just being there.
