Thursday’s Edition of 7IS is brought to you by CBH Sports

I received some good news this week when it was confirmed that in July I will be making my first trip to Wrigley Field. Wrigley Field is another stadium I can cross off my list of stadiums I want to see a game at before I die. I made it to Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park last year, and Cameron Indoor two years ago. There are a lot of stadiums that I hope to see some day but these are my top five:

5. Cowboys Stadium
I hate the Dallas Cowboys more than any team in sports but their new stadium sounds absolutely bad ass. The gigantic video screen alone is enough to make me want to see a game there. Plus, I have family that is not far from the new stadium so this is actually the most possible of my list.

4. Notre Dame Stadium
Most of you know that Notre Dame is my favorite college football team. I finally got to see them play in person last year, when they played Navy in Baltimore. I almost missed one of the greatest finishes in history when I left the game early with Notre Dame up 27-7. I relearned that day to never leave a game early, and that as great as it was seeing Notre Dame live, it would be even better watching them with 100,000 fellow fans.

3. Memorial Stadium
It saddens me that I was born in Lincoln, Nebraska and have never seen a game there. Sure, I was in my mom’s belly during a grudge match with Oklahoma but that doesn’t count. There are no better fans in sports than Cornhusker football fans.

2. Madison Square Garden
It wouldn’t matter to me if it was the Knicks, Rangers, WWE, or even the Westminster Dog Show, I want to say I have been to the Garden.

1. Lambeau Field
The Green Bay Packers earned my scorn in the 90s when they ended season after season for the 49ers in the playoffs. Despite that, I recognize that Lambeau Field is the most historic stadium in football. The history, and the passion of the fans all make Lambeau a place that I would love to see a game at, more than any other.
