With the Super Bowl fast approaching, let\u2019s take a look at the Top 10 events which I believe every avid sports fan should see in-person.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>10. British Open <\/strong>&#8211; For the serious golfer, a trip to St. Andrews is a pilgrimage to where golf began. Many of golf\u2019s greatest moments have occurred at the British Open, including last year\u2019s near-win by <a title=\"Tom Watson booking agent\" href=\"http:\/\/www.playingfieldpromotions.com\/Tom-Watson.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tom Watson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Red Sox vs. Yankees<\/strong> &#8211; You can argue about the greatest rivalry in sports, but I don\u2019t think anyone can argue that the Yankees vs. Red Sox is at or near the top. The fans hate each other and the atmosphere is electric, especially late in the season if the games mean something.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Army vs. Navy<\/strong> &#8211; Maybe this isn\u2019t the BCS title game, but the pageantry surrounded this classic rivalry and the emotions it stirs is something very unique.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. World Cup<\/strong> &#8211; In almost every country except the U.S., soccer is the most popular sport and the World Cup is the culminating event. This summer\u2019s World Cup in South Africa promises to be the most watched event in tv sports history.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. World Series <\/strong>&#8211; The World Series is special given its history. Be lucky enough to catch a game at either Fenway Park or Yankees Stadium and you\u2019ll be treated to a very special experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Kentucky Derby<\/strong> &#8211; Even if you\u2019re not a horse racing fan, the Kentucky Derby is a fun event to attend. It\u2019s a spectacle, from women wearing the big hats to the Mint Juleps (which, by the way, I think taste horrible).<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Final Four<\/strong> &#8211; The NCAA basketball tournament is the best tournament in American sports. And the excitement level reaches a fever-pitch at the Final Four with teams vying for a spot in the Monday finals. And if you\u2019re team happens to be one of the remaining four, it\u2019s an experience you\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Stanley Cup Game 7<\/strong> &#8211; Even though I\u2019m not much of a hockey fan, I\u2019m hard pressed to find a more exciting sporting event than a game 7 Stanley Cup final. The excitement and intensity level is unrivaled.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Super Bowl <\/strong>&#8211; Nothing compares to the Super Bowl in terms of the hype. It\u2019s almost become a national holiday with tens of millions of viewers tuning in. Add in all the events and the chance to rub shoulders with greats such as <a title=\"John Elway booking agent\" href=\"http:\/\/www.playingfieldpromotions.com\/John-Elway.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Elway<\/a> and Joe Montana, and everyone should attend at least one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Masters<\/strong> &#8211; This is my favorite event. You have to pinch yourself the first time you enter the hallowed grounds of Augusta National. It\u2019s more beautiful in person than you can ever see on tv. And there\u2019s nothing like following the leaders through Amen Corner on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been fortunate to have attended many great sporting events over the years.
