I would attempt to visit every NFL stadium, taking advantage of Thursday games to get in all 32. Also go to a game for every rd. of the playoffs.

NBA Finals, no matter who's playing.

Tennis Grand Slam.

The Masters, where I'd fart as loud as I can during someone's putt.

All the Golf majors
Super Bowl
NLCS all games
World Series- all games
About a dozen Blackhawks regular season games and all playoff games
About 2 dozen Cubs regular season games and any playoff games should hell freeze over
Wimbeldon Singles championship matches- Just to experience it once
Kentucky Derby, with the option to go to the Belmont and Preakness if I enjoyed it more than expected
Spring Training about the 2nd week in March. Play golf in the morning, then watch a game before going out for a nice dinner.

You'd have to pay me to see a Super Bowl in person.

The Derby is a good one, Frank, but I'd make it the Triple Crown.

London Marathon—London, UK in late April
Berlin Marathon—Berlin, Germany in late September
Chicago Marathon—Chicago, USA in early October

Just to say "I've been there"

If money was no object, I'd have a suite for the Derby and seats somewhere in between 40 yard lines for SB.
