Olympics
Special Olympics
Stanley Cup Finals
Grey CUp
My 40th Birthday



I know its not right

 

[Slimpikins]

My first thought was Vancouver as well, but I don't know what the events are. I started with the Olympics and the Stanley Cup finals but I don't know the rest.

I think that Indy has the Superbowl this weekend and they have hosted a Final Four in NCAA basketball but I don't think that they have had three more major sporting events or if the NCAA thing was this last year or the year prior...

 

[awaz]

is that all time? or the past 12 months?

could it be dallas?

world series
nba finals
i thought they had the final four last year..

superbowl was in arlington ... does that count?

 

[esls79]

Las Vegas.

I wasn't aware AVN was considered a major sporting event.

By the way, shame on you Las Vegas for splitting up the AVN week and CES week into two separate weeks.

i was counting it (thats where the world series was too) because the cowboys play there.. i forgot the super bowl was there last season.. so thats 4

Do Red Bull air races and Bassmaster tournaments count?

Do Red Bull air races and Bassmaster tournaments count?

I was thinking of Detroit but only can think of three:

Final Four April 2009
Frozen Four April 2010
Stanley Cup May - June 09.

Redbull air races and the world's largest drive-by shooting. There you have it folks.

World Series and Superbowl in 2006, but I can't remember anything else that year.

 

[Erdber]

I'd throw in Melbourne, that place hosts a lot of sports. Tennis, Horse racing, Grand Prix, Surfing, hmmm

Indy 500. Still not five.

LA?
NBA Final
Rose Bowl
Long Beach Grand Prix
World Series
Super Bowl
Ducks Final
X Games (It's a big deal to ME dammit!)

I have no idea if that's even close to correct. Seems probable that five of those happened in the same year, though.

 

[awaz]

i think 43 is right.. its LA.. in '02-'03

Ducks, Lakers, Angels, Rose Bowl, BCS national championship?

rose bowl count as a major sporting event?

 

[4thstreet]

UFC championship
Golf championship
