Where to watch sport like a local
Lonely Planet made this top-10 list in 2015 about where and how to watch sport like a local. Here are their 10 sporting events to see, where you can watch sport like a local. They have listed 10 sports, and the ultimate place to watch that sport. Have you been to any of these events? With these sports as suggestions, we created a list of 7 Wonders of the Sporting World (Events).
- Football at La Bombonera, Buenos Aires
- Sumo wrestling at Ryōgoku Kokugikan, Tokyo.
- Cricket at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. Probably any cricket match on the subcontinent would be an awesome experience. I have also always wanted to see a Test series in the West Indies, which would also have great atmosphere.
- AFL at the MCG, Melbourne. I can't argue with this one. The MCG is the home of Australian Football (it is also the home of cricket in Australia). The ultimate would be to see a Grand Final match here.
- Ice hockey at Rogers Arena, Vancouver
- Baseball at Fenway Park, Boston. Watching the Yankee's playat Yankee Stadium is on a lot of sporting bucket lists too.
- Basketball at Madison Square Garden, New York
- Hurling at Croke Park, Dublin
- NFL at Sun Life Stadium, Miami.
- Rugby Union at Newlands, Cape Town.
