Sports Bucket List

Question

I have been to many MLB parks, a few Basketball, Hockey, and a number of football Stadiums. I have been to game 6 of the 91 World Series with Buck's line on Kirby's "see you tomorrow night."

I have been to a Stanley Cup finals game, NCAA BB National Championship Game (Duke/Michigan "Fab 5"), Superbowl (Skins/Bills)
But there are so many events I want to see before I die.

1. Manchester United at home against Chelsea or Arsenal
2. A Superbowl with the Giants in it
3. The Daytona 500
4. Really #1 but won't happen in my life time. Cubs in a World Series game at Wrigley
5. Breeders Cup Weekend
6. La Liga match with Barcelona at home
7. Serie A match with Inter vs AC Milan
8. A World Cup on foreign soil.
9. College World Series Game with either Mich or Minn playing

Anybody have some they want to see, do, or whatever?

Aside from the daytona 500 and the college world series, this would be my exact list. Unless you are a huge racing fan there is no need to go to a live racing event. I went to one and after the first couple laps it was the most boring event I had ever been to. I would love to visit every stadium in the EPL to watch a game

-Game at Cameron Indoor&#xD;&#xA;-Gators vs. FSU, LSU or Miami at the Swamp&#xD;&#xA;-Super Bowl Sunday in Vegas&#xD;&#xA;-Play Pebble Beach&#xD;&#xA;-MLB All Star Game&#xD;&#xA;I&#x27;m a big Royals fan (save the jokes!), and a couple of years ago my wife bought me a surprise trip for my bday to KC for a 3 game series.  Awesome.&#xD;&#xA;Also, when George Brett (all time favorite player) was inducted into the HOF, I was supposed to go, but my girlfriend at the time got pissed, and I missed a once in a lifetime opportunity that I still regret it to this day.

Gophernation your accomplished list is pretty impressive already! how old are you to do all of those?

Gutcheck - I have had the exact same thoughts (my lottery dream) but it would inlcude NFL games on sundays (or mondays) - so it would be planned with schools in close geographic areas.

My bucket list is:

1. Superbowl

2. Stanley Cup final game in a Canadian city

3. The Masters

4. The Derby

5. NCAA final game

6. Attending the World Cup

7. Premier league soccer game

8. Attending a major UFC/Boxing fight

9. Professional Rugby Game

10. Nascar race - I hate car racing but I thought it would be fun to attend atleast one race

My accomplished list is weak

NHL - Toronto, Atlanta, Buffalo, Carolina, Anaheim Ducks, Vancouver, best arena I have been to though is the University of North Dakota's - if you get a chance check it out - kills all of the NHL rinks.

NBA - Toronto, Atlanta

NFL - Buffalo, Miami, Carolina Panthers

CFB - Clemson Tigers, SC gamecocks

MLB - Toronto (WS game also)

Golf - Canadian Open

Looking to expand on this list but tough to do with kids!

HutchEmAll · Answer

Might as well go by sport:&#xD;&#xA;Golf:&#xD;&#xA;Been to a President&#x27;s Cup and a PGA championship.  I&#x27;d like to see Augusta, but golf isn&#x27;t that fun to watch in person.  &#xD;&#xA;Hockey:&#xD;&#xA;Been to a North Star playoff game.  Would like to go to a Wild playoff game sometime.  Doesn&#x27;t have to be the Stanley Cup finals.  &#xD;&#xA;Baseball:  Went to a Twins playoff game and a Cubs/Braves playoff game (Maddux v. Prior).  Would like to see A World Series game somewhere.  Would like to see Pac Bell park.&#xD;&#xA;Football:  &#xD;&#xA;Me and 3 others are doing a tour of all the away venues in the Big 10.  We&#x27;ve been to OSU and Wisconsin.  MSU is up this year. &#xD;&#xA;I will never go to a Viking game even if they get a new stadium.  I&#x27;ve been to KC.  Would like to experience Denver, Philly, or Buffalo.  &#xD;&#xA;Basketball:  &#xD;&#xA;Timberwolves...enough said.  I have been to an NCAA regional final....would like to see Cameron or UNC....and a final 4.&#xD;&#xA;Nascar:&#xD;&#xA;Been to Bristol, California, and Vegas.  The only place I really want to see is Daytona.  We go every year, but usually close to a gambling venue.  &#xD;&#xA;  &#xD;&#xA;HAVE to see the Kentucky Derby sometime.  Want to see a US soccer World Cup game.  Would like to hit Fenway Park and a hockey game in Vancouver.

HutchEmAll · Answer

I missed one.  Seeing a game at the Ralph is on the list.
