Clubhouse Chatter: Name a sporting event you wish you could've attended.
What our Sports staff has to say while waiting for the games to resume.
The 2019 Masters. It's tops on my bucket list just to see that course. And then to be there and hear the roars as Tiger Woods pulled off his 15th major after such a long road back make this a very easy answer for me.

I'll go with the 1963 NFL title game at Wrigley Field. I've heard people say Wrigley was a great place to watch football, and it's been a long time since an NFL team could win the championship on its home field. The atmosphere in the city during that time must have been amazing, but it's also really strange to think that the game was blacked out on local television, per the rules of the day.

The 1973 Belmont Stakes. Would have been a thrill to see Secretariat widening his lead with every stride on the final turn en route to the 31-length win and first Triple Crown championship since Citation in 1948. Then it was great to actually see Big Red live in his very next race at Arlington Park!

Tough one. Could easily say the Bears' 1985 NFC Championship win over the Rams or the Bulls' 1997 NBA Finals clincher at the United Center, but I'm going with the 1986 Masters. Give me a seat greenside on the par-3 16th as Jack Nicklaus drained that infamous birdie putt en route to his sixth green jacket. Can't imagine it gets much better than that.

Without a doubt, Game 7 of the 2016 World Series. What a rush it would have been to have been sitting behind the first-base dugout when Anthony Rizzo caught the third out from Kris Bryant. Rizzo jumping for joy and stuffing that baseball into his back pocket would have been a dream come true to see in person.
