Some of these aren't really global sporting events though.

Anyway, I like baseball the most, so obviously I'd want to attend the World Series the most. I think going to the Olympics would be pretty cool though.

Super Bowl. A few years ago I would have said Wrestlemania, but WWE's main roster product is garbage these days.

My dad took me to games 1 and 7 of the 1997 World Series. I was too young to fully enjoy it, but I still enjoyed it a lot. Go Marlins.

IIHF World Championships or IIHF U20 Championships

Nothing beats international hockey.

Honourable mention to the World Cup though. My cousin could very well be on Team Canada if he stays consistent and seeing him at that level would be nuts.

Id say Wrestlemania if WWE wasnt a tedious shell of what it used to be.

World series or Stanley cup final games absolutely.

Probably the super bowl because they make such a huge show out of it. The National Anthem with the Planes flying over the stadium & the half time show makes it seem like you get the most bang from your buck. Just seems like a big party.

So that, unless my country was in the World Cup final. No way I would miss that.

FIFA World Cup final at home with your team in it would be the pinnacle.

I went to the 2015 Asian Cup final at home with Australia in it and we won, and it was the absolute pinnacle. Nothing like that will ever happen again for Australia (winning a major tournament on home soil).

Toss up between World Cup and Olympics.

I feel like a lot of seeing the Olympics in person is also just experiencing the general atmosphere of so many people from around the world gathered in one place, it's probably a pretty cool time.

what exactly is the ticketing structure like, for the olympics? do you buy a ticket to every event, or are you gated into certain events or buildings only with certain passes? it's such a long event.

i think just for the sheer volume, location, duration, and cost, the olympics wins this one for me.

Los Angeles here. I have done Olympics, Super Bowl and World Cup. Rose Bowls too - grew up in Pasadena-.

The Olympics are the better event. The World Cup has the better parties.

Olympics. When it was in Vancouver, Canada, I lived in WA state, within like less than 12 hours drive I think from the Games. Tickets had sold out months in advance though

I remeber being annoyed that local TV played the events on delay to keep it in time with east coast prime time. People thousands of miles away got to watch it live. I was in the same time zone as the Games and I had to wait. Stupid east coast tv priority . Always have hated it

As I am "working" today - a federal holiday in the U.S. - I am working on security projects for the next Superbowl in L.A. and the upcoming Olympics here.

EDIT: can't wait for the parties.

Living in L.A. is lit but you must have your own fire. Things may otherwise be difficult.
