8 the Independent Women's Football League (IWFL) was left off the list. It is full contact professional women's football played across the country and Canada. Tickets here in Boston are only $10. Season starts in the spring and is now over but the playoff are ongoing at this point. 6053754

7 Good call with Major League Soccer. Good entertainment with singing fans for low price. Also have to include US National Team games. Cheap and a great team to watch. 7/11 against Haiti at Foxborough. 7/26 at Giants Stadium in the Gold Cup Final if they get there. 8/12 away at Mexico. 9/05 at Rio Tinto in Utah 6051037

6 I appreciate your inclusion of the Cape Cod League but you could've referred to any amateur summer baseball leagues throughout the country. For example, also to be found in New England is the New England Collegiate Baseball League (NECBL). Among its many fine alumni who have made it to The Show is none other than Andre Ethier and Andy LaRoche who both played for the NECBL's Keene (NH) Swamp Bats (2001 and 2003 respectively). Major leaguers get their start some place and often times it's by participating in summer leagues such as the Cape Cod and NECBL. 6049375

5 Here in Ogden, Utah, you can get a FREE general admission ticket to the Ogden Raptors from any of the local McDonald's. The Raptors are the rookie league affiliate to the LA Dodgers, and Lindquist Field is a beautiful place to take in a baseball game. Baseballparks.com named Lindquist Field the Best View in all of baseball. Digitalballparks.com gave Lindquist Field the same award as well as naming it the 2007 Ballpark of the Year. Not to mention the "Drag Queens" who drag the infield between innings. 6048622

3 You list the Northbrook Velodrome, but just a little farther north is the Washington Park velodrome in Kenosha, WI. Washington Park is the oldest operating velodrome in the US and has no admission fee for spectators. 6044782

1 I didn't see any mention about one of the fastest growing sports in America: Disc Golf. Nearly every city has at least one course and they are nearly all free to play. The world championships of disc golf (Pros and Ams) are July 25-Aug 1 in Kansas City and free to watch. The following link tells you all about it. http://kcworlds.com/ 6043477
