December 3, 201411 yr While we (im)patiently wait for the Winter Meetings and something exciting to happen, I've appreciated the threads that have been started over the past few days: Hamburgers, Songs About Women, etc. So, I figured I would contribute to the distraction. What is on your bucket list for sports? What stadiums would you like to visit? What sport would you love to see live? Any player(s) you'd like to meet? Being a huge baseball fan, I'd love to see a game in every park. My wife, kids, and I all love baseball, and we've started adding a ballgame to our vacation each year. Last year we caught an Indians game. Next year we'll be visiting Mammoth Caves and Louisville, so we're going to swing by Cincinnati on the way home and catch a Reds game. There are a couple parks that are high on my list though: Fenway Park and PNC Park. Otherwise, just about at the top of my list is getting to see a Steelers game at Heinz Field. I'm originally from Pittsburgh and a die hard Steelers fan. I will get to a game...hopefully soon. Getting there is easy. Getting tickets will cost a bit, but it'll be worth it.
December 3, 201411 yr Going to more baseball parks would be one. Going to a Super Bowl. Hard to plan, but I'd like to be at a game in which one of my favorite teams won a championship. That would be cool.
December 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Top of my list is a World Series game.

Great trip with kids, just be ready for a couple of hours of walking for the good tours. Also there are a ton of other caves in the area. My favorite so far was Lost River Cave in Elizabethtown.
December 3, 201411 yr Super Bowl is far and away #1. Other things on the list: World Cup Final Rose Bowl Masters Summer Olympics - either basketball final or 100m final Winter Olympics - either hockey final or curling final (edit: or ANY Norway women's curling match anywhere anytime) Edited December 3, 201411 yr by HickoryHuskers
December 3, 201411 yr A USA World Cup Qualifier in Mexico City or Central America (Yes, I have a death wish apparently)
December 3, 201411 yr Next year we'll be visiting Mammoth Caves and Louisville Be sure to let me know when you're going to be in Louisville.

December 3, 201411 yr Want to do a scouting trip for Future Sox to the DSL affiliate in Boca Chica Baseball City, DR. Also want to see an Olympic event, doesn't even matter to me which one.
December 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 12:45 PM) Went there for a day in October, it was pretty cool. If you are looking for another good trip of about the same distance, check out Cumberland Falls during a full moon, and stay in one of their cabins on sight.
December 3, 201411 yr Make every single MLB stadium Get to Kansas City for a Chiefs game US World Cup Qualifier vs Mexico in Columbus World Cup match(es) anywhere Tottenham/Arsenal in London Roma/Lazio in Rome NCAA Tourney Final Winter Olympics Hockey Gold Medal Game Kentucky Derby
December 3, 201411 yr US World Cup Qualifier vs Mexico in Columbus Isn't that a little bit anticlimactic when you already know what the final score will be?
December 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 02:00 PM) Isn't that a little bit anticlimactic when you already know what the final score will be? true, but the experience would be great nevertheless
December 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Top of my list is a World Series game. Been there, done that. A US Mens World Cup game. A Bulls finals game A night SEC football game including tailgating and all that good stuff. I'm sure I'll think of more later.
December 3, 201411 yr I was lucky enough to do this in 2004, but going to a White Sox game at the Rogers Centre and watching the game from a hotel room was an incredible memory. It's also cool because all the players hang out in the hotel lobby after the game.
December 3, 201411 yr NBA finals? check check check and a few more checks. My buddy and I split Bull's season tickets during the 90s About the only watching that is high on my bucket list is a high school team I coach win a championship. I experienced that with middle school kids, I want it with the big kids. Playing St. Andrews, Pebble Beach, and Renwood Golf Course (again for Renwood).
December 10, 201411 yr All 30 ballparks (currently 20 down) SEC football game World Series Game US World Cup Game Premier League Game in England.
December 10, 201411 yr All stadiums Duke home game San Francisco 49ers home game Season tickets for the White Sox Super Bowl Major Bowl game

December 11, 201411 yr Working in sports for years worked I'm spoiled and worked most of the events discussed here Olympics, college football games, pro football games (hate to admit it I was employed by the Packers). Al except the world series which I had season tickets in 2005 and bears in 2006. I haven't done the international soccer thing but I once worked in the mexican winter baeball league and it was scary enough. Being old I want to do the river boat cruise and go to three ball park in a week. I think its the ohio into the Mississippi ruver and you see a game at pnc, great american then busch stadium. Edited December 11, 201411 yr by ptatc
December 11, 201411 yr The Hawks game 7 vs Detroit their last cup run was an awesome one to cross off the list. Id like to go to a Bears playoff game. I was also at game 1 of the 2005 ALCS
