ESPN Page 2<\/span> has a list of 101 things all sports fans must experience before they die<\/b><\/a>. I have 94 to go.<\/p>\n

20. The Stanley Cup playoffs (late spring, various NHL cities). <\/span><\/p>\n

Sure it was the first round, but I did this in 2002 twice, both at MCI Center, both Capitals losses to Tampa Bay. <\/p>\n

34. MLB Opening Day (April, various cities).<\/span><\/p>\n

2005: Nats at Phillies*
2006: Nats vs. Mets
2007: Nats vs. Marlins*<\/p>\n

*Actual Opening Day<\/p>\n

41. An NBA game from courtside (winter-spring, any NBA city). You’ll never again say they don’t hustle.<\/span><\/p>\n

1992 – Bullets vs. TrailBlazers – my mom got us company tickets.<\/p>\n

61. Midnight Madness (October, all over the country). An annual late-night party at campuses across the country. (Say hi to Larry Eustachy if you see him.)<\/span><\/p>\n

1999 (maybe 1998 too, I don’t remember) at Penn State – It was technically “Late-Night Madness.” You can debate whether this really counts though since it was Penn State and that was during the good old days when the were mediocre.<\/p>\n

90. Little League game (spring, early summer, everywhere). <\/span><\/p>\n

I played two years of little league.<\/p>\n

96. NCAA women’s volleyball championships (December, rotating sites).<\/span><\/p>\n

Early round — Penn State vs. UCLA at Rec Hall. Penn State went on to win the championship that year.<\/p>\n

99. A Harlem Globetrotters game (many dates, many cities). <\/span><\/p>\n

13th birthday the Capital Centre. They beat the hometown<\/span> Washington Generals.<\/p>\n

Things to avoid:<\/p>\n

2. NFL exhibition games.<\/span>
Three times, all Redskins<\/p>\n

vs. Dolphins
vs. Browns
vs. Steelers<\/p>\n

4. Baseball old-timers game.<\/span><\/p>\n

1988 at Yankee Stadium<\/p>\n


Glaring omissions<\/span>
Army vs. Navy
Yale vs. Harvard (I’ve been to three)<\/p>\n
