What are the best weekends in all of sports?

For me, my top 5 are more or less in this order:

1. Weekend of the Masters in Augusta and the weekend of the Finals at Wimbledon (these two are a tie for 1st for me)

3. Weekend of the US Open Finals (tennis)

4. Weekend of the US Open (golf)

5. Weekend of The Open (golf)

Honorable mentions: The Players, Roland Garros, Aussie Open Tennis, FedEx Cup playoffs, Ryder Cup, President's Cup.

I enjoy the Superbowl and watching some playoffs finals games of the NBA/NHL/MLB a fair amount as well, but don't excitedly look forward to them like the above top five.

I didn't think about golf. Ya, the Masters, Open Champ, and US Open are pretty fantastic. I have always been a US Open guy over a Master's guy, but I do look forward to all three. Good call.

Not sure I have ever made it thru an entire tennis match, lol.

More like a collection of weekends but I love the cobbled Classics in Road Cycling. Het Nuiewsblad, E3, Ghent Wevelgem, De Ronde, Paris Roubaix. I’m excited just thinking about it.

I agree with your original three except I’d switch weekend two of March madness for weekend one. Nothing like seeing the 13-15 seeds win, especially if it’s over Duke.

My one addition may sound kitschy around here but as a New Yorker, NYC Marathon weekend is my favorite of the year. Whether I’m running it or not (better when I am), having 2+ million people out to support is an awesome time and there’s just a celebratory vibe in town all weekend. It’s the one time every year where running really does take over the spirit of the city and I love it.

First Saturday in May.

Definitely. Those spring classics are the best, but I like all the monuments, too. So cycling's got at least 8 or 9 amazing weekends in the year.

This! Nothing better than the cobbles; love all the races you mentioned but love Roubaix best of them all. I live in Minneapolis and hold an annual Roubaix party at my house complete with copious consumption of Belgian beers. The neighbors definitely wonder what in the hell is going on over at my place on that April sunday at 8AM CST!!

Lapland reindeer games which is every other leap year on February 29 if the snow levels aren't excessive and there are enough hot Finnish women selected to cheer on the raucous crowd of frozen lumberjacks.

M.A.G.A.

Lol. My gdad is a UNC grad. I have zero rooting interest up that way, but I learned at an early age that Dukies are wimps and cheaters ?

1.) Thanksgiving. Rivalry weekend in college football and some good NFL games on throughout the week as an appetizer.

2.) World Series. Start of the NBA season overlapping with the World Series can be pretty great. As a Cleveland sports fan, 2016 was once in a lifetime feeling.

3.) Wimbledon

4.) March Madness. Loses its luster a bit once you get out of high school/college and you can't actually watch random games at 2:00 in the afternoon on a Thursday.

5.) NBA All Star Weekend. Very underrated. Just pure, unadulterated entertainment from Friday night through Sunday night to help get through the worst month of the year.

Super Bowl weekend has to be the worst. All of the hype, a two week wait, and then Tom Brady winning it makes it unbearable

Breeder's Cup every fall.

Really? Horse racing?

Why?
