      If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

        I'd imagine that's gotta be somewhere on there, if not in the top 10.

        Yeah, the superbowl isn't for the fans, it's for the rich people who can afford the vastly overpriced tickets. The conference championships are the last games that's actually for the fans.

          For the people who actually have enough money to go , it would be a thrill to see your favorite team win, like the Colts did this past February.

            I would rather watch it on tv, unless it was at the Superdome.

                  Well...my rich uncle paid for my brother and I to go to the Panthers-Pats Super Bowl in Houston, TX, and I don't care what anyone says...it was an experience of a lifetime. Now...if I was paying my own way and having to buy the tickets, pay for the hotel, buy my food, all that stuff? Maybe I'd be singing a different tune. But we were fortunate enough to have an uncle who got into computers before it was the cool thing to do, and he bankrolled the whole trip...and it was the most amazing sports experience I will probably ever have!

                  BTW - here's me....having the time of my life:

                    That's true, if someone paid my way and everything I would probably enjoy it alot more.

                      Those are my only two. Had the Seahawks beaten the Bears in the playoffs last year I would've done number 7 also.
                      Those are the only 2 I have done also.

                        I'm surprised none of you have been to the Kentucky Derby. What a shame...

                          1. Summer Olympics - Went to Atlanta
                          6. Spring Training - Went to Bradenton to see the Pirates
                          7. NFL Conference Championship - Went to 1 at Three Rivers Stadium
                          16. Hall of Fame Induction - Saw Bill Mazeroski inducted
                          28. US Open Golf - Went to Oakmont this year
                          35. MLB Opening Day - Numerous Pirate games
                          43. MLB All Star Game - Went last year at PNC Park
                          88. Monday Night Football - Numerous Steeler games
                          91. Little League Game - Been to Williamsport for the LLWS (just missed playing in it when I was younger).
                          100. Globetrotters Game - Went to 1 at Mellon Arena when I was younger.

                          Not too bad. There are many more that I want to do and many that I've had a chance to do, but wasn't able to (ie: was invited to go to a heavyweight bout in Vegas, but couldn't attend).

                              These are the one's I've done.
                              5. NCAA subregional (March, various sites)

                              8. The Masters (April, Augusta, Ga.

                              19. Duke-North Carolina basketball game (winter, Chapel Hill or Durham, N.C.) *every season for both games for me since 1987*

                              24. ACC basketball tournament (March, various sites). *I enjoy this more so than the NCAA Tournament especially attending. The electricity in the crowd, and if a favorite gets down to a underdog the entire arena turns on the favorite and gets behind the underdog. Unbelievable that fans put feelings aside to root for lower seeds to upset the higher ones, and nobody goes home on Fri. Unless the final game is a dud everyone stays until most of the time after midnight. *

                              62. Midnight Madness (October, all over the country)
