I'm hesitant to post this, but I had a very fortunate and unbelievable year in attending college and pro sporting events in 2017. I wanted to share what I attended, and invite others to share their events as well. So here goes. I attended 93 college and pro games this year, broken down as follows....

36 major league baseball-- all St Louis Cardinals-- 33 in Busch and 3 in Colorado
11 NCAA football-- 7 NU home games, 3 away (Oregon, Minn and Ill.) and the Oregon-State Minnesota game in Corvalis immediately after the Husker game in Eugune
15 NCAA basketball-- 13 NU and the Michigan State-Duke and Kansas-Kentucky games in Chicago
12 NCAA womens basketball-- all Huskers
14 NCAA volleyball-- all Huskers including both final four matches
2 NHL- Blues/Avalanche in St. Louis and Blackhawks/Devils in Chicago
2 NFL- both Packers-Bears contests, a big bucket list item
1 NBA- Bucks and Grizzlies in Milwaukee

Highlights-- seeing the volleyball team win a national title was amazing. My 3rd time in person.
Seeing Jerry Kramer in Green Bay and Dick Butkus at the NU-Illinois game. Many same day doubleheaders, including......
Packers-Bears and Blackhawks-Devils in Chicago
the aforementioned NU and Oregon State doubleheader in Oregon
2- same day NU football and volleyball games
Cardinals-Reds and Blues-Avalanche games in St. Louis

2 weekend favorites-- Packers/Bears in Chicago on Thursday, Huskers in Illinois on Friday, and Cards/Brewers in St. Louis on Saturday and Sunday.

Ultimate weekend with my oldest son was NU at Minnesota on Saturday (game sucked though), Packers-Bears and Blackhawks-Devils on Sunday, Bucks-Grizzlies on Monday, and Mich State-Duke and KU-Kentucky of Tuesday.

There you have it. Lots of free places to stay on several trips, and just a lot of fortunate timing this year with work and personal stuff. Thanks for reading.

For me:

Husker Spring Game

Nebraska vs. Oregon
Nebraska vs. Northwestern
Nebraska vs. Minnesota

North Carolina vs. Duke

Green Bay vs. New Orleans

A handful of San Diego Padres games.

Unfortunately all of the football games ended in losses for the good guys. Got to mark off a bucket list item for a game at Lambeau.. the week after Aaron Rodgers was injured. Coolest thing was that Bart Starr was there and was announced... his family said it would be his last trip to Lambeau.
