hogan873 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 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.

GoSox05 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

fathom Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 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).

ptatc Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) 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.
