5 Coolest Sporting Events To Attend

I have already told my small, yet significant viewing audience about the significant events I've viewed already. The natural sequal would be to show events that I must witness at some point in my life. Some maybe obvious and some not so obvious.

5) Wrestlemania-I know these entertainment spectacles are fake and rife with controversey as of late. Persistent drug abuse and violence out-of-the-ring doesn't make me feel better. At the end of the day though, I'm a fan of the moment. When 50,000-70,000 fans scream once every year to watch the "so-called" best in the business face the best in the business. Its become quite a spectacle.

4) The Beanpot tournament-Boston in general lies on my list of great sporting events that I must see. A game at Fenway (a rainout at summer camp in 1989 does not count), a Bruins game and a Patriots game at the Razor's edge could all be at the top of my list. However, watching four venerable intercity hockey programs go against each other just brings out the passion I continue to have for hockey.

3) World Cup Soccer-Doesn't matter where, when or how, but I will get there. I could care less which countries I am watching, what time zone I am in or even if I have my passport to get back into the country. I will have a pint of that host country's prized beer and roast the beautiful game. I had my best chance as a 18-year old just after my freshman year when the World Cup was in the USA. I've been kicking myself ever since for not getting tickets

2) Olympic track and field-I consider myself a weekend warrior these days, running 90 minutes every Saturday and generally trying to run for an hour the following day. Nothing would please me greater then to see the world's greatest athletes compete against each other

1) Sepak takraw-I realize I may have to transport myself to the Far East to see this game. But what a spectacle. A volleyball game, where you can't use your hands. It's all about using your legs. It's basically a combo of soccer and volleyball in way. But that spectacle, I'm sorry just topples it all
