Aw, we cannot select several? Even though football is my favorite spectator sport, from the above list I would have to select The Masters or Olympics. I am a tennis fan and hope to at least get to the US Open.

I was fortunate to attend the Masters a few years ago. It lived up to all the hype

since the Olympics itself is pretty broad, I will narrow it down and say attending every track & field day of the summer olympics. I love watching T&F

World Cup final definitely.

Think I would have to go World Series. I like watching football at home cause unless you have 50 yard line seats it can be hard to follow.

Olympics. I went to several events the last time it was in LA and it was absolutely amazing to have that experience.

I would love to go to all of those, but for me, it would probably have to be the World Cup Final that gets the nod above the rest. All would be a dream, though.

I always used to think that the a Final Four (and actually the whole tourney) were the greatest event in sports, but that was before college hoop was so depleted by kids jumping to the NBA early.

I've been to an ALCS game and a couple of NBA Finals games, an they were incredible. It's easy to imagine that a World Series or NBA Finals Game 7 would be off of the charts. I've been to a college football national championship, and it was pretty great.

But I have to say that I would probably choose either Wimbledon for the location or The Masters because it's the toughest ticket in sports. I'd also really, REALLY like to see a Kentucky Derby.

I didn't think of this, but the Kentucky Derby is something I would love to see as well.

Game 7 of the NBA Finals (but only if it involved the Thunder) Otherwise, the Olympics. I was living in L.A. during the '84 Games (was 6 years old at the time), but my dad (being my dad) didn't want to fight the traffic and crowds even though we lived only 20 minutes away! C'mon, dad! So I'd like another crack at attending. And I'd actually rather go to a Winter Olympics over the Summer games.

Shame on dad. I don't remember the crowds and traffic being any big issue for the LA Olympics. Of course crowds and traffic are always an issue in LA at any time. :)

All things being equal, a World Series game 7 would be pretty awesome for me, with the Super Bowl a close second. Of course this order could change depending on the teams involved.

The remake of Field of Dreams. I'd lay 7 to 1 that Shoeless Joe Jackson wouldn't make the same mistake (again). No deflating of balls involved nor intended. Hopefully.

Edited to Add: The OP failed to mention The National Championship of Bowling and Croquet with Darts. (forgiven)

I don't even play golf but I enjoy watching it AND it's even better in person, so being that the Masters is The Masters, I'd have to go with The Masters.

Stanley Cup game 7, but only if it involves one team I don't hate. Watching a matchup like Rags v. Kings just couldn't get me going.

Just the facts
02-03-2015, 07:30 PM
Olympics, preferably Winter.

World Series Game 7. I'm a huge Cardinals fan and went to Game 6 in 2011 in St Louis. I looked at staying for Game 7 the next day but tickets were going for way more than I could afford. I gave $500 for a 4th deck ticket for Game 6. Game 7 tickets were at least twice that.

Depends on what you're a fan of. For example, right now, I can't freaking stand Jamaica.

Nosebleed seats or prime seats? Nosebleeds, it would have to be the Olympics. Prime seats, it would have to be the Super Bowl. I am not a baseball, hockey or soccer fan, that is my reasoning.

Women's World Cup in Canada this year, and there is a good chance the USA team will make to the final. I know some people that are planning on going up for a few matches.

I'll have to see how much fun money is left in the budget. We've traveled to see them play in the states before.

Anything but the super bowl. Touchdown. Commercial. Kickoff. Commercial. Rinse repeat. Takes the flow out of the game.

NBA finals would be the most exciting, but I'd pick the World Series.

Been to the NBA finals before, so I'd say the men's World Cup.

Wimbledon. Finally got to go for the first time last summer. Hope to go back again. My goal is to go to all four majors, so I've got to make the trips to Paris and Melbourne before heading back to London.

If it was not an event that I could have one of my teams in, it would be the final four.

Game 7 of a World Series.
