What major events do you want to go to?

Brian · 01-09-2007, 11:18 AM

I was just thinking about this, so i thought I'd bring it up here. What are some major events (conventions, sports, etc.) that you'd want to attend in the future? Here's mine:

WWE Raw (WWE hardly ever comes to MN)
Wrestlemania (want to meet Hulk Hogan while I'm at it)
World Series (being the baseball fan I am, it would be SWEET)

Frozen Four (the Final Four of NCAA Hockey)
E3 (It'd be awesome)
Super Bowl (just something I may want to do)

I go to concerts of local bands quite often, none of which you know. The last famous band I saw was Electric President from the USA. And I sometimes go, when I'm feeling like people, to those big, flashy parties to confirm my views of the youth being idiots.

Peanut · 01-09-2007, 12:57 PM

What does that have to do with major events you want to go to?

Personally, I'd only ever want to go to E3, but it's dead now.

*Anarky* · 01-09-2007, 01:02 PM

That was basically a listing of all there is, and by the looks of it will be it for the forseeable future. No conventions of any kind, except for a cow and cheese fair nobody ever goes to and the big Open Air Concert for which I'm about five or six years too old.

I'd like to go to a World Cup and follow my team to every game in every stadium. Unfortunately, tickets to one game alone cost a fortune so I don't see that happening any time soon.

Krang's Uncle · 01-09-2007, 01:10 PM

I would love to go to several World Cup games myself. Or a ComicCon in San Diego. Maybe a college football bowl game. The Superbowl if the Bears were to be in it. All i need is the dollars.

Dinny · 01-09-2007, 01:20 PM

I had always wanted to go to a Superbowl too even though I don't follow American Football, but when I went to an NFL game in September (Chicago vs. Green Bay) I was put off. The crowd was surprisingly quiet. I don't know if it was just that I was watching a boring game or not but American sports fans act very differently to their European counterparts (which in some cases is a better thing).

Krang's Uncle · 01-09-2007, 01:33 PM

There arent very many instances of hooliganism in American sports, thats good. The passion that soccer fans across the globe show their team(s) is something that you rarely see replicated in American sports. Songs are chanted and hand motions are done, throughout the game. No comparison in terms of passion.

Dinny · 01-09-2007, 01:53 PM

In truth there aren't all that many instances of hooliganism in European sports, there are certainly fewer sports riots in America, but Britain in particular has almost no acts of hooliganism anymore despite its fans' poor reputation. The same can be said for all northern European countries. It's in southern Europe where things tend to get out of hand.

*Katie* · 01-09-2007, 02:56 PM

Superbowl....I've actually had my PSL picked both times the Titans had the chance, but I never went.

I would like to see the Olympics' opening or closing ceremony...and some events. I missed getting to go to the Atlanta games because I was in school

I'd also like to see a world cup game, a presidential inaguration, the 300th anniversary of America (probably won't see that, but I can wish, right?) a pay per view wrestling event, a Stanley Cup game,

but mostly...I'd love to see me, in a pretty lace dress, getting married. That's the only really big event I care if I ever attend

*The Stryker* · 01-10-2007, 08:20 AM

Wrestlemania 30 when they head back to NYC (Hopefully Hogan and all the rest of the old timers who can't seem to hang it up will be dead by then....man I'm going to hell.)

*Warhorse* · 01-12-2007, 09:19 PM

I'd like to go to the Olympics, both the winter and summer, and experience everything!

And, I want to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade live.

And I want to ride in the Snowy Mountain Race in Victoria, Australia.

Ra · 01-12-2007, 09:24 PM

I've already seen my favorite comedy duo's preform live for the last time last year, so I don't think I'll be seeing them doing anything together any time soon this year

But Supa Nova, an anime/artist/sci-fi convention which will be in town in April, is a big nod for me. Though there are only two voice actors going so far (both are from Naruto), there will be more coming. Also there is a history of anime being displayed at the art gallery for the next two or three weeks, so I'll be going to that. And if I'm lucky, there will be another anime convention in September which I might make. Otherwise this is going to be yet another boring, uneventful year... *sighs*

*Cure* · 01-12-2007, 09:51 PM

Well, my sister and I already made plans to go to the Tribeca Film Festival this year. We always wanted to go, but never had the time or money.

*cowabunga14* · 01-13-2007, 07:20 PM

I'd say Comic Con, which I should be able to go to every year seeing as I wouldn't have to fly to San Diego. Hopefully that'll change if tOkKa and I arrange something to experience this year's Comic Con together.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 02-10-2007, 01:08 PM

Any WWE related show, something school related always seems to be going on at the same time as whenever WWE has a Smackdown taping nearby.

Wrestlemania would be awesome even if the card sucked. The thing is tickets are expensive, and I doubt they'd ever hold it in San Diego (would Petco or Qualcomm be able to have enough seating?).

**Jo Dawn** · 02-11-2007, 03:49 PM

I just went to one yesterday. Wooo!! Went and saw Jim Gaffigan perform. Hilarious.

JetsAndHeels · 02-12-2007, 05:58 PM

First thing I would want to see in person would be the Super Bowl. I have always wanted to attend one just to say I did.

Second would be the men's final four in ncaa basketball. Ive been to several acc tournaments and a couple of carolina/duke games but Ive never seen the Final Four live.

Ive always wanted to see Jerry Seinfeld do his standup routine...that would be definately an event I would go to.

Ive been to the WWE events like Raw and a few pay per views, so I would skip them if I could see something I hadn't been to yet.
