Here are mine:

5.  NCAA subregional
6.  Spring Training (Multiple times)
20.  Stanley Cup playoffs
22.  Cubs game at Wrigley (if you are a baseball fan at all, DO THIS)
35.  MLB Opening Day
62.  Midnight Madness
63.  Big 5 game at the Palestra
76.  Beach volleyball
88.  Monday Night Football (unfortunately, it was in Miami, so I don't know if it counts)
91.  Little League game (and I have a feeling that I will do this much more in the future)
100.  Harlem Globetrotters

Ones I want to see
1.  Summer Olympics (I did see the US Women's Volleyball Team scrimmage when in Colorado Springs for a conference.  Still have a signed ball somewhere.)
4.  World Series (Closest was an NLCS game in 1997 between the Braves and Marlins.  Tired for WS tickets that year and in 2003, but got shut out.)
7.  NFL Conference Championship - IN PHILADELPHIA
16.  Hall of Fame induction - maybe IGY and I can go when Ryan Howard is inducted
37.  Frozen Four - would be a blast.  I've been to a college tournament down here that teams travel for - would love to see the big tourney
43.  MLB All-Star game - if only they hadn't jaked the game away from Miami, this may already be done.
54.  Packers game- hopefully to see the Eagles blast the Favre out of Green Bay
85.  Raiders game - hopefully to see the Eagles put skeletal Al Davis out of our misery
88.  Monday Night Football - IN PHILADELPHIA


One I've been to not on the list, but pretty cool:

NIT Championship at MSG in 2005 (When St. Joe's played)

phattymatty

cool list, i thought i would have more.


2. World Cup
9. Wimbledon
10. Tour de France mountain stage
30. U.S. Open tennis
42. An NBA game from courtside (not really, the best i've had is row 2 at a wizards/-t-wolves game)
62. Midnight Madness
64. Camp out for tickets
88. "Monday Night Football"
91. Little League game
100. A Harlem Globetrotters game


and i feel like i was at one of the eagles NFCC losses but can't remember.

The drawback to marital longevity is your wife always knows when you're really interested in her and when you're just trying to bury it.

I've been on the North Shore for that.  It's amazing watching those guys surf pipeline in contest situations.  You have to have balls the size of coconuts even to paddle out much less take off on one of those monsters.

Our Sports Dept. gets credentials to be there and cover it whenever it's here.  The sports anchor (another Eagles fan) offered me a credential to go with them but I was out of town that weekend.

Other than that... naw, not really.

I'll go next time you snag an extra ticket.  Thanks in advance.

I had the opportunity to go to the Masters back in 2000 but I had to pass also because of a previous commitment.  Of all times to schedule a vacation I had to choose that week.  I will say that of all the sporting events I'd like to attend, (other than seeing the Eagles win a Super Bowl in person) The Masters pretty much tops the list.
