Book Description

Publication Date: March 17, 2009

For the casual armchair fan to the fan who dreams of a front row seat at the games, The 100 Sporting Events You MUST See Live, provides invaluable information about tickets and travel as well as the parties and the pageantry for the top games across the sporting landscape. A detailed travel guide from Robert Tuchman, founder and president of the global leader in sports and entertainment promotion, TSE Sports & Entertainment, the book is replete with insider knowledge and expert advice.

We are a list-obsessed people and sports-obsessed to boot, so it's a book that quenches our insatiable appetites for both. From the obvious to the obscure, Tuchman's list of must-see events is as thorough as it is controversial. What events made the top 100 and where did they rank? The book is sure to fire up sports fans everywhere.

But more than a mere list, for each event the reader learns a detailed history of their favorite contests and all the background information to make a successful pilgrimage. Featuring also a list of honorable mentions that just missed the cut and a list of the top sports cities with arguments for what makes each city the perfect sports mecca, The 100 Sporting Events You MUST See Live, is a must for every sports fan's library.

When I went through this book, I found I had been to 8 of the 100 sporting events. Now, with the help of Robert Tuchman, I can start planning on going to the other 92! He gives the reader fantastic advice about where to obtain tickets, where to stay, where to eat. It's a great resource. Kentucky Derby here I come...
