And a couple of thoughts, I am not the biggest sport fan anymore. Prefer hanging out outdoors chasing after something. Or hanging with friends and family and can barely tell you what the names of all the teams are nowadays.
But there are some sports experiences every man should have and I have been lucky enough to experience some first hand.
One of the tops is a Yankee game at home in the stadium that Ruth built and now a new tradition has started.
If that game is while playing the Red Sox even better.
Another is a Title fight in the Felt Forum and or a Old Knicks Title game in Madison Square Garden, especially against the Celtics.
Another is a World Cup soccer match anywhere in Europe and especially when down to the final four matches
But for shear power, energy and emotion it would be any NCAA college basketball game final four match. Same with college football.
The power of it all running through you at any of these events is something as I said that every man should experience and I am sure there are others you guys have seen. But I think the ones I mentioned are among the very best of all I have seen all over the world.

Yeah...I'm still gettin' over "Cream's" final concert in Chastain Park in Atlanta in 1969...Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker wailin' at the top of their game!!...still got the tickets, too... and BTW...great of the Yankees to commemorate Obama's Inaugural Year w/the plaque...and for you to highlight it here just for us!!...Whadda guy!!...

Ya mean like when W got elected...the SECOND time...

Besides, there Willy...I's yankin' yer chain a bit...I'm sure that plaque commemorates the 1st year of the new Yankee Stadium and has NOTHING to do the new president's 1st year...

I would add to your list of sports experiences that every man should experience at least once the greatest race in the world, the Indianapolis 500. It may look boring to some of you who have watched it on television because it's just 33 cars turning left all day long. However, to experience it in person is simply amazing. The sounds, the smells, the electricity in the air, and of the course the sights (on and off the track) are unforgettable. Anytime you can get approximately 400,000 people to attend a single day sporting event it must be something pretty special. By the way, I am a resident of Indianapolis (I have attended probably 25 races), and this has been a paid advertisement from the Indianapolis chamber of commerce and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

I agree Nipper, wholeheartedly.

Man Willy, those were sweet seats!!! Glad you could treat the family to a great time in the big city. Did your daughter catch a foul ball or did a player toss it up to her?
