101 Sporting Events Every Die-Hard Fan Must Attend

Thanks to a couple of e-mails I received I have started to compile what will hopefully be a list of the top 101 sporting events that all sports fans should experience at least once in their lives.  To kick things off, here are ten events I feel all fans need to put in their "must see" list (in no particular order):

- The Rose Bowl on New Year's Day

- The singing of the Star Spangled Banner at a Chicago Blackhawks home game

- NCAA men's basketball tournament first round in Las Vegas

- Green Bay Packers game at Lambeau Field in December

- "Jump Around" at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin

- Saturday night SEC game at LSU

- Singing of "Sweet Caroline" at Fenway Park

- June day game in the bleachers at Wrigley Field

- Watch a game at Hinkel Fieldhouse (Butler University)

- Michigan vs. Ohio State at "The Shoe" in Columbus, Ohio

I have personally experienced six of these events and heard firsthand accounts of the rest.  Some of these are pretty obvious events that most fans dream of attending (Rose Bowl, Wrigley Field).  Others are a bit more obscure but are equally as awe-inspiring (National Anthem at a Blackhawks home game or a basketball game at Hinkel Fieldhouse).

Send me the sporting event you feel every fan must see at least once in their lifetime...it just might make it into my book.
