I've been fortunate enough to attend plenty of live events this past decade. Here, in no particular order, are ten notable events I caught live.
16 over 1 - These are in no particular order, but this is my number 1. Being there live for the first and to date only 16 over 1 upset in the men's Division I basketball tournament would have been exciting enough. That 16 just so happening to be my alma mater made it indescribable.
Preakness - I took in the second jewel of the Triple Crown for my bachelor party, born simply of a fortuitous trip to Baltimore during the right weekend.
Honeymoon - Our honeymoon - an Alaskan cruise and cross-country drive - was deceptively sports filled, with trips to Wrigley Field, Camp Randall Stadium, and the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame.
BasketBinge - On a glorious weekend in 2013, I caught three games in about 24 hours in two states and DC, en route to UMBC's Spirit Groups Alumni Day.
CFB Opening Weekend 2013 - I caught the first game of the season - North Carolina at South Carolina - as well as the inaugural game for Charlotte 49ers football.
2014 DCI Championships - Made the trip up to Indianapolis and caught not only Friday's semifinals in Lucas Oil Stadium, but toured DCI HQ, checked out the Rhythm Discovery Center, and saw Drumline Battle live in action.
Louisville at Clemson - Headed down to the Upstate for a live Clemson game towards the beginning of their rise.
Queen City Battle of the Bands - The final QCBOB in Charlotte before the took their ball to play elsewhere.
College Football Playoff Championship Weekend - While I came and went before the bands got to town, this weekend in the A was highlighted by plenty of CFB Playoff fan activities and a Solid Verbal live show.
Fresh Fest - The trip to the nation's first Black craft beer festival also included a tour of PNC Park and a preseason Steelers game.
