OT: Sporting Event Bucket List
This one is pretty straight forward. What remains on your sporting event bucket list? What event do you have to go before your time is up?
For me there are a few MLB stadiums I still have to get to. However, the big one that remaining is the Monaco Grand Prix, forget the racing the party would be the thing (so would having the money to do it properly).
Football: See M play at all Big Ten stadiums. I have 9 of the original 11 done, and will be adding Iowa this year.
Tennis: Attend all 4 grand slams. Unfortunately only have made US Open so far.
Hockey: See Red Wings play @ all Original Six. Long way to go at 2/6.
Others I've been lucky to accomplish are watching M in the Final Four and Frozen Four.
Need to go see a Ryder Cup and a World Cup
sunday
sitting behind 12 tee box
I would rather be sitting green side at 16.
A World Cup
One of those soccer games where you might get stabbed (Rangers/Celtic or Boca/River)
A Michigan Final Four or CFP playoff (blew that one in 2013 and am still angry).
Final Four in Atlanta was incredibly fun
the illinois game and then the OT thriller v. SHU
If you are looking for stabbings in soccer might I suggest the bosphorous derby(Fenerbahçe–Galatasaray) or Legia Warsaw vs just about anyone. Everything else is hand bags comparatively
Sit on the wrong side of the fence for a Penarol/Nacional match.
but I would love to see UM take out Clemson in the semis and then roll the Damn Tide in the Big One. That's pure good over evil, and I can think of nothing I would love to see more.
For you people that listed the Rose Bowl, do it.
Never been to the Rose Bowl Game (TM), but I did catch a UCLA/Okla St match up a while back in Pasadena. I would recommend going any time the weather is nice. I will say this though, damn that place is small.
Armondo Galaaaaaanevermind.......
Forever too soon.
I actually did both Wrigley and Fenway last week! But I live about 5 min walk from Wrigley so that's lost a bit of excitement on me.
I was at JV's no-hitter in 2007. That was pretty awesome!
golf st. andrews
big EPL game at a smaller venue
wimbledon
odd that all three are basically in the same part of the world where I've never been.
Go to a game at Fenway and sit in the Monster seats.
In no order..
-World Cup
-Rose Bowl
-Goodison Park for an Everton match
-Indy 500 (not really a racing fan but would love to go to experience it)

2. Hosting a tournament on my private disc golf course.
3. ???
4. Profit (which will be spent on improvements to the course)
I love discing! Tell us about your own personal course? A full 18? All par 3's? In the woods, open fields? How long did it take you to build it and how challenging is it?
My hometown has some good courses and we hosted the world championships a while ago. That was a fun even to go watch. You would not believe how far and accurate those guys can launch it.
World Cup Final
Paris-Roubaix
UM vs. Oregon (my other school), Rosebowl, Championship game.
Olympic Hockey Final
Olympic Hockey final has gotta be on my list too. I would've killed to go to Vancouver in 2010.
Rose Bowl
Tigers spring training
Michigan at OSU
Kentucky Derby
The Masters
Premier League

The ones still on my bucket list:
Michigan in a National Championship game in Football and in Basketball.
Rose Bowl.
Various away CFB games - LSU at night, Wisky, The Swamp, ND, Georgia, Nebraska, Clemson, Tenn.
Fianl Four.
Indy 500.
Monaco Grand Prix.
Palio di Siena, Italy.
Various EPL matches.
USMNT match in Estadia Azteca, Mexico.
World Cup Semi's w/ USMNT in it.
The bucket list ones I've done so far:
Michigan win at Ohio State (Harbaugh guarantee game!)
Multiple Michigan wins at Penn State
Kentucky Derby, multiple times
Men's World Cup (Group Stage)
Women's World Cup (Group Stage)
Summer Olympics
The Olympics would be cool in most any sport to see the world best at something. Wrestling or some martial art would be cool just because those guys/gals are truly badasses. Usain Bolt would be cool to see.
Michigan at all the big ten stadiums is of course on the list plus a national championship bowl game. I've been to 7 of the orginal 11, but we keep adding schools.
Olympics, World Cup, and Pan-Am Games, that would be awesome to go watch!
I agree though, watching Jordan Burroughs whoop the top Russian would be so fun to watch. Heck, just watching Burroughs rip a phone book in half or race up a climbiing rope is enough to entertain me, though.
2018 Athens Marathon. Head to Greece to celebrate my 30th wedding anniversary.

Rose Bowl Nat Champ Game for Mich
World Cup
Super Bowl
Mich Bowl Game
I would say the GAME 7 of a World Series in Yankee Stadium....would be #1 now, nothing like playoff baseball in Yankee Stadium
Rose Bowl game featuring Michigan, Wimbleton, Yankee Stadium (oops, too late), an SEC night football game, a heavyweight boxing title fight, The Game @ OSU (been to 6 at home), a Knicks game at MSG, a horse race, any horse race, and a Duke vs UNC basketball game @ Duke.
My parents also go to the B1G Bball tourney every year for every session, that would be fun, I love tournament settings and neutral courts.
Most of all, I want to witness an Iowa vs. Iova State wrestling match where they draw 15,000-20,000 fans. Can you imagine 15,000 people yelling "TWO" during a sweet takedown? Probably only excites us wrestlers but its cool. I love attending the team state meet each year for that very reason.
There are a bunch of games I'd like to go to at least once. But there are also a bunch of games I'd like to attend again.
- Michigan - ND UTL game.
- Game in East Lansing
- Game in Columbus
- OSU game in Ann Arbor
- NCAA Michigan game
- Rose Bowl - preferably against USC (last time I went, we lost to USC)
- Orange Bowl - preferably NC
- Fiesta Bowl - preferably NC
- Cubs - White Sox World Series Game
- Blackhawks Stanley Cup game
- Wimbleton
- Major soccer games in Europe, pref. in several venues
- Home and away against a good team . . . Alabama, Auburn, Florida, FSU, Texas, LSU, Georgia.
- Attending a post season game where my son or daughter were actually playing (football, baseball, or soccer) and getting to cheer them on. This is still in the realm of possibility.
in the new stadium? I want to watch a game in The House Ruth Built.
Me too. That's one I missed that I could have done.
Taking the Yankees out of the House That Ruth Built is like taking the Pope out of the Vatican.
win college football and basketball national titles at the top. Then The Masters, and tennis grand slam. A lot of people mentioned Olympics. Went to 5 events in London and can say that was one of best events I have been to. Very good chance I go to Rio. Lots of doomsayers about Rio. If I remember there were major concerns about security before London and it turned out all right. Rio has several different issues to contend with but wouldn't be surprised if things turned out better than press its getting now.
Olympics and World Cups always turn out better than the press wants you to believe.
Two chicks at the same time.
The question wasn't what you'd do with a million dollars.
