SPORTS! - Upcoming Events, Fall 2004

Fall is coming and that means time for football, and even more exciting baseball, and I will be on hand to see some of these great events and places...

Michigan Football
Michigan Stadium
Saturday, September 17

This Saturday, my first ever visit to the Big House, the Wolverines host Eastern Michigan, who lost to the Cincinnati Bearcats in the opening game in Nippert Stadium. (This is a coincidence that I am going to the game against Eastern.) I do have my ticket, but parking will be a task...
"As usual" I have combined this trip with one to Cedar Point the night before, then out east to Cleveland and Geauga Lake after the game, and back to Cedar Point on Sunday.

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Cincinnati Reds
Busch Stadium
Friday, September 30

This will be my second (and last) visit to historic Busch Stadium, during its final regular season series. Thanks to the efforts of LaRussa, Pujols, Edmonds, Eckstein, Carpenter and the rest of the Redbirds, it will not be their last series there, and I bet they will keep the wrecking crews waiting until after the World Series.
The morning after "There's got to be a morning after," I will be heading back east to Holiday World for the CoasterBuzz Fall Affair. It will be the first enthusiast event since Stark Raven Mad 2003, and be a 'test event' for HW as they will host the ACE Coaster Con in 2007. Oh, and they are building the Voyage for 2006, their third wood coaster, which will be a hit, just like their last two.

The Reds and Cardinals also at: Great American Ball Park, September 20-22, which I'll try to go to at least one game, maybe when Carpenter is pitching and/or the untelevised game on Thursday 22.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
RCA Dome
Monday, November 28

Two of my favorite NFL teams in one game, although I edge toward the horse team.
