Which Championship Game Would You Choose?

[Furtherman]

The magic scalper has 4 tickets up for grabs. They're free but you may choose only one.

Which final American championship game would you choose to go to?

The one you choose is the last game in the series where one team will win (with the exception of the Super Bowl).

[jonyrotn]

Monster seats, World series, game 7..

[Hottub]

If I am allowed a World Cup Final Match, I'll take that.

Otherwise Stanley Cup, Game 7.

[Knowledged_one]

I am assuming you mean game 7's for basketball, hockey and baseball

But i still choose football all the way, basketball is to fixed to really enjoy, and baseball could be an early blowout

Im sure you will catch grief for not adding in the world cup

Also a dark horse - Wrestlemania tickets, or a huge MMA card

[JPMNICK]

If it was the Yankees playing, I choose the World Series.

If i had no control over the teams playing, superbowl all the way

[Furtherman]

Let's stick with American championship games.

[Gvac]

This is a tough one. It's either going to be game 7 of the World Series or Stanley Cup.

I'll probably say the Cup because there's a far better chance my Wings will be there than my Reds will be in the Series.

[AngelAmy]

I'm with Tub where I'd love to go to a World Cup Match first but even though Super Bowl is HUGE, I pick the World Series...it's World Series for me hands down.

[Hottub]

Let's stick with American championship games.

What if (longshot) America is in the finals?

[King Hippos Bandaid]

Super Bowl, end of story


I want to be the at the Pinnacle Game of the Sport Season


In Baseball you could be at Game 4 Sox vs Stros 2004 series

1-0 , welcome to dullsville



Unless your fav team is in the Stanley Cup, you can give 2 shits about it


Basketball finals M E H


Soccer, what are we foreign

[Towelie]

The Super Bowl stinks. No home field advantage, most of the people there are corporate people and rich folk who don't care.

Have to go with a World Series game 7 with a Stanley Cup game 7nd in a close 2nd place.

[Furtherman]

What if (longshot) America is in the finals?

Let's stick with annual American Professional Sport Championship games.

And that's final!

[Knowledged_one]

I like the topic though Fernando

[underdog]

I was thinking World Series, but there really is nothing like a playoff hockey game, so I cannot even imagine what a Game 7 would be like. I have to go with the hockey game.

But this is a great question.

[A.J.]

Monster seats, World series, game 7..

Ditto.

[Furtherman]

I voted World Series myself.

The Super Bowl is hack. NBA? Zzzzzzz.

I'd love to be at a game 7 NHL too but I think the whole idea of being there when your team wins the World Series on a home run or a strike out would be the most bone chilling, loudest, amazing, hug-the-person-you-don't-even-know-next-to-you moment.

[A.J.]

NBA? Zzzzzzz.

I was thinking of the NBA but only if it could have been at the old Boston Garden. No stupid dancers and pyrotechnics -- only an amped up crowd.

[jauble]

World Series at Wrigley Field (I know its been awhile) enjoying an old style and hanging with mojo.

[Death Metal Moe]

I'd take that year's Super Bowl tickets, turn around and make $1200 from some sports fan.

Sweet titties.

[Crippler]

My personal rankings:

Super Bowl - hands down, doesn't matter if it's my team or not, purely for the spectacle of it.

Stanley Cup, Game 7 - nothing better than playoff hockey (except the Super Bowl)
World Series, Game 7 - might jump to #2 if it was a Yankees game 7.

MMA Supercard - something along the lines of the Affliction event in July or the great card UFC put on for UFC 82 in March where even the undercard should have made the PPV.

Back 9 at a PGA Major - and I don't really even like watching golf.

World Cup Finals - just to say I saw a bigtime soccer game (or is it match?).

Demolition Derby - if only to people watch.

Paint drying

NBA Finals - only with a gun to my head.

"No home field advantage", I see that as a positive and another great thing about the Super Bowl compared to the others on the list.

It sounds from most of the responses that you're picturing you being there with your team winning at home. If it's on the road, and you're one of few cheering or getting pelted by beer cups and bags of peanuts in an otherwise doomy and gloomy quiet stadium... is it still all that exciting? Are you still going to hug that fat bastard next to you who's been giving you the hairy eyeball all game?

But I do agree that the Super Bowl crowd is lame. I wish they'd treat it more like the college bowl games where they allocate 20 - 30k tickets to each team/school, and get a majority of true fans into the stadium. Even better when they're on opposite sides of the stadium and you can choose to sit with your own people.

I know football does fine on TV, and you don't often hear about it being "much better in person", like you do baseball and hockey, but in my opinion, it's true for football too.

If there had been 30k+ New York and 30k+ Boston fans in Arizona for the week leading up to the game, and inside that stadium for that game this year? Forgetaboutit.

I've been to a few bowl games, and a few "neutral site" college football games, and it's fantastic. I couldn't imagine the elevated level of excitement leading up to a championship game. The Sugar Bowl in Jan '05 was fucking out of this world. A weekend in the Quarter yelling drunken cheers through the streets and the parties with Va Tech fans in the Hotel Bars, etc.

The Super Bowl is a one day event, with usually a two week build up of parties and planned events around the game. It's already #1, but add more fans of each team, and you have yourself an All American Championship game event my friend.

The other Game 7 scenarios... not so much. How many fans of the road team can afford to keep trekking to the other cities back and forth, through so many rounds of playoffs? And you usually only have two to three days between game 6 and 7 to get it together, and not much is pre-planned because there's not always a 7th game.

If you're a fan of the road team, you're going to be one of very few in their house, and, lets face it, some of the cities and stadiums are shit. You could be watching the Mets win it in that retarded Tropicana Dome in fucking St. Petes for Christ's sake.

super bowl easy

[Bulldogcakes]

If it was the Yankees playing, I choose the World Series.

If i had no control over the teams playing, superbowl all the way

I'll take the World Series no matter who's playing. Baseball is at its best in the post season. Small plays or a bounce of the ball can change who wins/loses. In a close game, any one pitch could decide things. And the fact baseball is slow works to its advantage in the playoffs. The drama builds slowly (sometimes excruciatingly) with each pitch in big spots. Also, its the most unpredictable game. You can run out the clock in Football or Basketball. In Baseball, you have to get that last out. If you can't, the other team wins.

Just ask Bill Buckner about that. Or Scott Brosius. Or Trevor Hoffman. Or Mariano in 2001.

Thank you, thank you.

This is a close race, 41% Super Bowl, 45% World Series.

NBA Finals... 0%. Good. I happen to catch the beginning of one of the games last night. The cheerleaders had uniforms with lights on them, flashing in the dark. Just terrible.

[K.C.]

I refuse to vote, because the correct answer is World Cup.

In terms of spectacle, there's none bigger...now the likelihood of it being an American Championship Game...not so likely.

I saw Italy vs. Spain in World Cup '94 and it truly was the best sporting event I ever attended... but... those World Cups are far and few between.

The one I've listed happen every year. So choose... or be sad for four years at a time!

Well, here's the thing.

The Super Bowl blows, because it's rarely the hardcore fans of the actual teams in the stands. It's all corporate douchebags who just want to be there to say "hey, I went to the Super Bowl."

And as far as the NBA Finals go, maybe it has something to do with San Antonio and Detroit being the top teams year in and year out that's warped my perception, but I don't get the sense that the heat is there for it like it used to be.



So that would leave the Stanley Cup and the World Series.

The problem with both these sports is that there's great matchups that everyone would want to see, and there's absolutely horrible matchups.

If the Stanley Cup is between two of the Original Six, and throwing in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis...that would be a hell of an event.

With the World Series, it's not necessarily about historical teams, but about the cities and their fans. Mets vs. Red Sox, Yankees vs. Phillies, Cardinals vs. Indians...and so forth. Those would be great series to watch. Diamondbacks vs. Rays...Padres vs. Rangers...not so much.


I'd probably go World Series, because you have more potentially good matchups, but it's close.

[spoon]

Super Bowl for a game without my favorite team involved for three reasons:

1) I can watch any team in football.
2) It's always in a cool location for that time of year.
3) One game decides it all.


For a championship involving my team, I truly can't decide. I already saw both the Avs and Blue Jays win, in person for games 3, 4 and 7 when the Avs lifted the Stanley Cup in 01. So based on the fact that the bolts never won yet, I'd have to lean that way but I'd be there for any of my teams making it to the championship at this point of my life.

[TheGameHHH]

I was at game 4 of the 1995 Cup Finals and got to watch my Devils lift their first Cup in franchise history, so as long as I live I don't absolutely have to be at another Stanley Cup Finals although it would be nice.

I went to Game 1 of the 1996 World Series when the Braves absolutely took on dump on Andy Pettitte and my Yanks, so while I'd love to be at a game 7 of the World Series I can also die tomorrow and say I at least went to a World Series game.

I'd like to see an NBA Finals game, but since I don't even have an NBA team that I root for it would be nothing more then a nice little novelty for me.

The Super Bowl would be the coolest thing in the world to see live. If I'm not mistaken it's being held in Tampa this year and if the Pats make it I don't care what it costs for me, I'm making the 3 hour drive north to see the game. This is by far my dream ticket.

[spoon]

Don't worry, there will be no need for you to drive 3 hours and lose at least four figures on a ticket to see a rival in the Super Bowl!

how do u plan on making it to the Super Bowl when LT decides to bitch out in the playoffs like a little pussy again? doing "the dance that shawn merriman is known for" won't be enough to make it to the promised land

Make sense as opposed to making BDC media driven statements. Any self-respecting sports fan knows that all the LT shit is retarded. He was crushed by the events, and to think that is simply pathetic!

2008/2009 the end of the Patriots.

Spygate, now there's a bitch move buddy!

im sorry, crushed by what events exactly? was he crushed by the fact that he simply quit on his teammates when it counted the most? it's the playoffs, EVERYBODY is banged up. you play through it. you dont jog over to the sidelines and hide behind your visor the rest of the game.

That's so idiotic, thanks mr. cliche! He COULDN'T CUT and they had a pretty decent backup who would be WAY more effective. I haven't missed a game LT has played since being in the NFL and IMMEDIATELY knew he was done the first time he touched the ball. I watched the game with my neighbor FROM Mass, and he agreed.

In fact, it wasn't until May fucking 3rd that he was even able to cut well. The fact is that you think he could have gone even though he's never missed a game outside of week #17 in his whole fucking career. Yah, he's soft you're right!

I would love a repeat of the 99 Stanley cup in which those cocksucking faggot Dallas Stars stole the cup from the Buffalo Sabers. FUCK YOU STARS!!!!
