[DanicaFan]

Indy has the Pacers and the Colts.

[harvick#1]

Fenway #1, um no any baseball stadium is basically the same

its SI, they cover only stick and ball sports

where the **** is La Sarthe and Spa, hell even Monaco

obviously SI has no clue what they pull out of their asses

You just don't know what Fenway means.

I would have put Yankee Stadium over Fenway and Wrigley and I have been to all 3.
Fenway and Wrigley are rememberances of time past but Yankee Stadium is baseball History.

I would also add La Sarthe and the Sambadrome in Rio. It is a competition after all.

I think that Indy and Daytona are both fabulous tracks, yet Indy is a better location. I rate the Indianapolis 500 higher then either the Daytona 500 or the Rolex 24 Hours.
From motorsports I think that only Monaco tops Indy, yet it is ncorrect to call it a sporting place as it is a temporary street course (am I right)? Le Mans, Spa and Monza are also wonderful locations for motorsport fans.
Outside motorsports, to me "Old Traford" is probably the most magical place to see. Glory, glory, Man United!

MCG is a spectacular place to visit. I was there about 10 years ago. Its like two LA Coliseums side by side. http://www.mcg.org.au/Tours/Virtual%20Tour.aspx

Top 10 in cumlative attendance may explain why Fenway is on top. Daytona has a lot more events than Indy and many more visitors on non-race days and in the off season.

The cricket ground?

I've worked at internationals at the Old Trafford Football ground, it is an impressive place, but personally not the greatest of grounds.. I'd much rather go to San Siro

That SI list is clearly US centric, there are places on there that you're average Joe in a street outside of the states is unlikey to have heard of, whereas places that draw global, International TV exposure for their 'kudos' events, such as Wimbledon, as an example don't get a mention??

Well what else is in Indianapolis to see?

I went to Florida and so paid a visit to Daytona then drove down to Homestead, but was asked to leave there, due to private testing.

Why else would I go to Indy other than to see Indy?

The museum at IMS

IRP - for good ol Friday/Saturday night racing.

as a cubs fan i am partial to wrigley, but as a baseball fan there is no stadium that beats pnc park in pittsburg. As a race fan all you need to say is Indy. However a weekend at midohio is awsome also.

oh the worst place to visit in any sport is the akron rubber bowl. If there is a worse place to watch anything then that garbage dump please someone let me know.
