My Top 10 sports places to visit
March 03, 2008Driving back from NASCAR media day last week, my boss Nick Gholson and I were coming up with sports places we would like to go see in our lifetimes.
I have already been to Wrigley Field and Fenway Park, so those two are excluded from my list.
But there are some other sports places/events that I have to see. So here they are:
1) The Masters -- Golf's most prestigious place, surrounded by azaleas and the sound of Tiger crushing one off the tee. It is a hard ticket to get, but someday I hope to find a way.
2) Memorial Stadium -- No, not the one in Wichita Falls. As a die-hard Nebraska fan, there is no way I could pass up a trip to Lincoln and be a part of a red sea.
3) Yankee Stadium -- This place is closing down after this year, but luckily I will get a chance to go. Have not nailed down the date yet, but am looking forward to the trip and seeing Monument Park (By the way, I am not a Yankee fan). And maybe I can swing a trip to Cooperstown while in NY.
4) England for a soccer game -- Ole Trafford, where Manchester United plays, is ideal, but I am not a supporter of any particular team, so anywhere is fine by me.
5) Lambeau Field -- How cool would it to see the Frozen Tundra. This is the only NFL stadium on my list. And on a side note, at a family Thanksgiving outing I met a guy who drove up to Lambeau and to the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio on a whim while in college. Nice.
6) Kentucky Derby -- Hear this is a must-do. Not a big horse racing fan, but some day, count me in.
7) St. Andrews -- It is the birthplace of golf. And I want to get a shot at the most famous hole in golf, the Road Hole. The question is, if I hit the hotel with my drive, am I liable?
8) Cameron Stadium -- Oh, to be a part of the Cameron Crazies, all painted up and jumping up and down for two hours. Just do not want to camp outside for days to get in.
9) Other college football stadiums -- I am not sure how to differentiate these in any sequential order, so I will just list all of them in no particular order: College Station (Texas A&M), The Big House (Michigan), The Horseshoe (Ohio State), Tennessee and Notre Dame.
10) Indy 500 -- Not the biggest racing fan, but I hear it is great (and loud).
