Sports Travel Book Review: 100 Sporting Events You Must See Live

I've always considered myself a big sports traveler. I've been to sporting events all around the world, some big ones like National Championships to UEFA Tournament soccer matches, to the College Baseball World Series and the Frozen Four as well as attending every current MLB Stadium and almost 40 in all. I knew there was a lot I hadn't seen and thats why I checked out 100 Sporing Events You Must See Live by Robert Tuchman. Robert Tuchman runs a company dedicated to Sports Event Travel, so he was the perfect guy to write this book. In his 100 events, Tuchman not only gave us 100, he listed them as well. From the Masters at #1 to a UFC Title Fight at #100. The list goes on. As I went over it (to see how many I have been to) I realized that I haven't even hit 1/5 of his 100 favorite spots (though I have a few I would add here)

As a sports fan, this book is a must read. It gives you the events you must go to, and the means to get there. Tuchman describes the entier experience, from where and when the event takes place, to the significance, history, notable athletes and records and travel advice. His travel advice includes things to know, how to get there, how to get tickets, where to stay, what type of packages are available, and where to eat. He also lists Notable Quotes which really make you feel as though you can grasp the significance of the event.

What does the book include you ask. The usuals: World Cup, Super Bowl, Summer Olympics, Kentucky Derby and more, to the unusual: Little 500, Iditarod, Head of the Charles. The book lists every type of event any sports fan would want. I personally have added many events to my Sports Travel Bucket List.

I would thoroughly recommend this book to everyone I know, and I continue to use it as I plan trips, think about new ones and to continue to add to my wish list. Thanks Mr. Tuchman!
