sports fans with a year to plan/prepare where would you go
OK so next October this Pirate will be 50
I want to take myself to a major sports event.
the Biggest event I have been to was a East West Shrine game one year.
the second was an H- Bowl a few years ago
so with the biggest part of a year to think and plan
where would you go??

Re: sports fans with a year to plan/prepare where would you go
Depends which sport you like best. Also the issue of the team you like may not be playing at the big event.
Take me for what I am, a star newly emerging.
I accept the new found man, and I set the twilight reeling.

Re: sports fans with a year to plan/prepare where would you go
Personally, I would eliminate the Super Bowl, just because you've already been to Dallas a few times for an awesome tailgate.
I would also eliminate the World Series just based on cost- Boise is an expensive flight, and why have a year to plan when you'll still end up having to plan everything within a week?
The Sugar Bowl would be my choice, but that's because I'm not a sports fan but am a huge fan of New Orleans.

Re: sports fans with a year to plan/prepare where would you go
I said the Rose Bowl, Nikki says to the Stanley Cup. Unless the Giants are in the World Series
Then it's a no-brainer.

Not a sporting event, but come to MOTM this year!
Just chose a sporting event that does not happen at the same time as MOTM.

Re: sports fans with a year to plan/prepare where would you go
Superbowl!!!! Cowboy stadium is freaking amazing. I did a tour in November with RhumChum, Angelbeech, my keet and his g/f. We got the extended tour - getting to see the Cowboy locker room, walking the same path the Boys walk to enter the field through the Miller Light Club. We had our picture taken on the star. As I told my security guard at work when I returned: I've been to the mecca and I stood on the star!!! 
Well...(said in my best Bubba voice) I've been on sabbatical.

Re: sports fans with a year to plan/prepare where would you go
College football fanatic here.....Send me to a BCS Bowl Game (Preferably with Michigan playing)!
Re: sports fans with a year to plan/prepare where would you go
well I don't golf.. and most likely I will be there alone.. (unless I can get some BNers to meet me there) so the cost of staying near Augusta would sting.Joetown Parrothead wrote:The Masters, Augusta National is unreal, if you can get a Sat-Sun ticket even better..
and I went to a golf event once (LPGA) I was in the then young (one was a rookie) ladies gallery.. maybe you have heard of them..
Annika and Kari.. yep they paired together and were having the time of their
lives.. what a great afternoon

Wayne, are you a certified diver? If not, have you ever considered it?

and some Cape Buffalo meat home..
I went to the World Cup when it was at Stanford (CA)
I have some great mementos of the Game.. (they had to pull teeth out of my knuckles.
Re: sports fans with a year to plan/prepare where would you go
I have been to the Rose Bowl several times with an uncle of mine, and also to the Super Bowl once with him. He has also been to the Kentucky Derby, World Series, Final Four, and NBA finals and said without hesitation, the Final Four was the most exciting. That would be my choice.

Re: sports fans with a year to plan/prepare where would you go
You forgot Paris in July for the final leg of the Tour de France, even though by that time the winners have been determined and it's more of a parade than a race.
VIVE LANCE!!! ALLEZ TEAM RADIO SHACK!!!
Of the choices offered, though, I'd pick the World Series.
I just wish they played it earlier. It used to be called "The Fall Classic", but games 4, 5, and 6 this past year were all played in November.
In open-air ballparks (a good thing).
In northern cities (not *quite* so good a thing).
