Book Description

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.

Interesting Sports Reference February 21, 2010
Format:Paperback
100 Sporting Events You Must See Live is a no-brainer gift for the sports lover in your life. Robert Tuchman's book, subtitled An Insider's Guide To Creating The Sports Experience Of A Lifetime, guides the average person in doing just that.

The book lists 100 different amazing sports events. Everything is here from the Masters and Super Bowl and World Cup to the Kentucky Derby, Westminister Dog Show, Calgary Stampede, Boston Marathon, Monaco Grand Prix, Ironman World Championship, and the most important down here in Tarheel country, the UNC vs. Duke basketball game.

For each event, Tuchman gives valuable information. Categories include where the event is held, when, the significance and history of the event, notable athletes participating and how tickets are obtained. He details travel arrangements, and even provides hotel and restaurants close by the action.

This book is sure to be a favorite with any sports lover. Meticulously researched, it provides help for those interested in going in person to these events, and a pleasant fantasy for those unable to go as they page through the book. This book is recommended for sports lovers of any variety, and would be a welcome gift.

Good fathers day gift October 4, 2009

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Purchased for my dad who had been to probably about 1/2 the events listed in the book. He seemed to really like it, maybe he'll go to the other half.

A Home Run! May 8, 2009
Format:Paperback
If you're a sports fan or even just a fan of travel (even better if you are both), this book is a must-read. Tuchman takes you from your couch cushion, subway seat or wherever else you may be sitting when you are reading this book and makes you feel like you are sitting in the crowd, observing these events first-hand. I really love the fact that this is a book that I will use as a resource forever, or at least until I see all 100 events in person! I highly suggest that you buy this book, get a pen handy, and start checking off the list.
