Chicago White Sox Tickets And A Day At U.s. Cellular Field
Thursday, June 3, 2010


In the great American past time sport, many teams have had their fair share of ups in downs throughout its history and the Chicago White Sox are no strangers to any of it. The Chicago White Sox, aptly name after the players white stockings worn in the game, came into the Major League ready & raring to go as Western League champions. It made them a force to be reckoned with. Their good pitching collective helped them to top out at 83-53 as first place champs in the American League in 1901. The following year would prove to be not their best as they slid into fourth place and then again plummeting further down to seventh in 1903.

As the years rolled by and the team name was chopped to White Sox and the team would go on to rise again to gain the coveted third place slot. During 1905-06 though their team's pitchers remained strong in the effort to hold hitters at bay in the American League it wouldn't help them get to the World Series as the Philadelphia Athletics knock them into second place with two games behind. On top of this they picked up an unsavory nickname by local newspapers, "The Hitless Wonders" with just seven seasonal home runs. Despite this their pitching game continued to dominate and earned them a Pennant and while gaining a trip to their first ever World Series, all the failure & triumph would be over-shadowed on account of Chicago's other team, The Chicago Cubs having a great regular season that ultimately brought them also to the Series that would start a inner city rivalry that continues to be played out within the regular season from 1906 until today.

In this first cross town World Series pitting the Southside against the Westside, it was a site to behold as both Chi-town teams battled it out. Traveling back in forth from stadium to stadium until the underdog team of the White Sox eventually won the series; scoring 8-3 and securing 4 games to the Cub's 2. The history books hold the accounts but the action experienced is still alive today.

More twist in turns would come and go in the life of this hitless team many years down the line, including the new stadium, the Sox and New York Giants European tour attend by the British Royal Family in 1913, the contract purchasing of Shoeless Joe Jackson and the 1931 death of the teams owner Charles Comiskey. In 1933 with Chicago hosting the World's Fair that year, it also gave birth to the All-Star game concept where Babe Ruth clocked the only home run thus become a annual event as league battled league. In 2008, the Sox returned to the World Series some 88years later, beating the Los Angeles Angels.

U.S. Cellular Field has been home to the Sox since opening in 1991. Formerly known as Comiskey Park, it is affectionately sometimes referred to as "The Cell". Located at 333 West 35th Street in Chicago, Illinois, the surface is Bluegrass and the venue is currently owned by the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority. Renovations over the years of 2001 to 2006 have increased seating capacity to 47,609; also the record attendance set on July 15, 2003 at the 74th All Star Game.

The bronze statues of Luis Aparicio and Nellie Fox welcome fans to this fantastic venue. Other attractions include the fan deck that offers a double tiered view of the field and convenient access to concessions and other amenities. A rain room, patio, sports bar, t-shirt shop, United Scout seats, Comcast Fundamental deck and the Chicagoland plumbing council shower are just some of the features that keep fans coming back to U.S. Cellular Field time and again to enjoy games that the Chicago White Sox play.

Toronto Blue Jays Tickets For A Day At Rogers Centre
Friday, May 14, 2010


The Toronto Blue Jays have been affiliated with the American League and East Division since their formation in 1977. Originally as an expansion franchise, they have been nicknamed "The Jays" but take their actual name from the bird who shares the same. The blue jay is colorfully featured as part of their jersey and cap logo with the team colors of blue, black, graphite, silver, white and red. Another nickname the team has been known for is "Blue Birds". As the only team outside the U.S. that has ever won an American League World Series, the Toronto Blue Jays got off to a decent start in 1977 with their first game played against the Chicago White Sox. A home crowd of nearly 45,000 was present to cheer the players on. This first game is most memorable for the snowstorm that had started just before the game began.

The snow didn't stop the team from winning that opening game with two home runs by player Doug Ault. The Toronto Blue Jays went on to win 53 more games in the 1977 season but finished in the very last place of the East Division of the American League. The next year, the team improved their record but still could not pull themselves up out of last place in the AL rankings. As the 70s rounded to a close, Alfredo Griffin became the AL co-Rookie of the year in 1979 and the team introduced their original mascot, BJ Birdie, to the world.

In the 80's, Bobby Cox came on board as the new manager and in 1982, they Toronto Blue Jays finished the season 78-84. It appeared the finish last tendencies had been put to sleep as the team finished 89-73 in 1984. That same year, Tony Fernandez was brought on board after Griffin was traded to the Oakland Athletics. The next year, the Toronto Blue Jays won their first AL East Division title. By the 90s, the Blue Jays were the first Major League ball club to have more than 4 million fans attend their games in just one season.

The 90s also represented the time when the Blue Jays added another AL East Division title to their growing list of accomplishments. It was all the historic point where the Blue Jays came head to head with the Atlanta Braves in the World Series. Back to back in 1992 and 1993, the Blue Jays took home the much sought after and well deserved World Series title. The team has not brought home any pennants or titles since those fortunate seasons of the 90s but with new management under Alex Anthopoulos and changes made in the dugout as well as on the field, the upcoming season should be a fascinating one to say the least.

All of the home games ahead will be played at Rogers Centre located at One Blue Jays Way in Toronto, Ontario. Since June, 1989, this venue has been where the Blue Jays have entertained the competition to create a name for the team. Originally named SkyDome from 1989 to 2005, Rogers Centre started out with AstroTurf for the field surface through 2004 but switched to FieldTurf until this year when AstroTurf GameDay Grass 3D was put into place for the 2010 season.

Rogers Centre has expansive capacity for baseball games with seating choices for 49,539 seats which doesn't include the 3,434 private box seats available. Both the Toronto Blue Jays and the Toronto Argonauts have been tenants in Rogers Centre since its opening in 1989. Other tenants have included the Toronto Raptors. The rename of the venue came when Rogers Communication purchased the trouble stadium and renamed it to the current name.

Let Ticket America put you close to the action with Toronto Blue Jays tickets. Rogers Centre is a spacious, luxury venue that provides great sites from many locations around the stadium.

Tampa Bay Devil Rays Tickets And A Day At Tropicana Field
Thursday, May 13, 2010


Think you know all there is to know about the Tampa Bay Devil Rays? Well, you may be surprised to learn that although this team has only been around since the late 90s they have made sure to work diligently at starting to carve out a niche for their franchise. Established in 1998, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays held the name until 2008, at which time their name was changed to Tampa Bay Rays. Team colors are navy blue, Columbia blue, white and gold. Known affectionately as "The Rays", the Tampa Bay Rays were awarded inclusion into the minor leagues back in 1995 when they tapped Chuck LaMar as their assistant general manager. A year later, the team was playing their first minor league game in the 1996 season.

The following year, for the expansion draft held in November, 1997, the Tampa Bay Rays acquired 35 new players. More players were added to the team in the years to come, like Kevin Stocker, who was traded to the Philadelphia Phillies nearly as quickly as he was acquired. The next year, their first game in March, 1998 was against the Detroit Tigers. The crowd was a sizeable 45,369 and Wade Boggs made the first home run in the team's history. They didn't win the open header but the season went well that year and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays went on a 19-game winning streak before suffering nearly 100 losses that same year.

Some other great names associated with this team include Randy Winn, Jose Canseco, Greg Vaughn, Miguel Cairo and Vinny Castilla. Boggs is the only member of the team whose number has been retired to date and it came as no surprise. In 1999, Boggs racked up his 300th hit on a home run. He is the only member of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to ever do so. Boggs was later also inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in the year 2005.

The 2004 season was the best finish for the team ever with a record of 70-91. Front office and management changes in the time frame after the 2005 season ended brought new blood in. Chuck LaMar was fired and the focus turned to the younger players like Carl Crawford, Jorge Cantu and Rocco Baldelli. Many trades would come next as the team changed hands with their leaders. Outfielders, infielders, shortstops and utility players alike were put on the block and traded to other teams in exchange for perceivably better players.

Although the team was subsequently involved in two rare triple plays in the 2006, they did end the season with a winning record at home of 41-40. It was the first time the team accomplished such a feat and it resulted in an increase in home attendance.

Tropicana Field, located at One Tropicana Drive in St. Petersburg, Florida has been the home of the Rays since it's opening in 1990. Prior to that, the venue was known by the names of the Florida Suncoast Dome from 1990 to 1993 and the Thunderdome from 1993 to 1996. Astro turf was the original playing surface but the field currently surfaced with FieldTurf and has a dirt infield. Seating capacity in 1998 was 45,369 but with upgrades to seating, added amenities and refashioned concessions, was changed to 43,772; a total that does not include the tarp covered seats.

Tropicana Field has been home to other Tampa teams including the Tampa Bay Storm and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Ironically enough, when the stadium was finished, it did not have any tenants. It wasn't until 1993 that the NHL Tampa Bay Lightning came along and later in 1995 before the Tampa Bay Rays moved in.

Ticket America can help you land the best seats in the house with Tampa Bay Devil Rays tickets for some of the hottest games coming up this season. Experiencing Tropicana Field in person makes every game lively and intense and Ticket America can take you there.

Boston Red Sox Tickets And A Day At Fenway Park
Sunday, May 2, 2010


The history of the Boston Red Sox has a long tail that spans back over a significant length of time. Whether you are a new fan to this exciting franchise or you have followed the team through a lifelong passion for their playing style and ability to win under a number of challenges and circumstances, there is no question that the Boston Red Sox have held the distinction of being a force to be reckoned with and continue to demonstrate the type of talent and sportsmanship that makes the game of baseball a pleasure to enjoy.

When you go back to the very beginning of the start of this time, no historic recollection is complete without starting at the very start of things for the Boston Red Sox. Founded in 1901 with the name Boston Americans, the team began as one of the original eight franchises that formed the American League. Just 2 years later, the Red Sox took home their first World Series win in 1903. They would retain the Boston Americans name until 1908, at which time they became known as the Boston Red Sox. By 1918, this determined team had won an additional four World Series championships. Unfortunately, the last win was the start of a dry spell that did not end until 2004 when the Red Sox scored their sixth championship.

Known by the nicknames "The Sox", "The Olde Town Team", "The BoSox" and "The Nation", the Boston Red Sox have had more wins during the decade spanning to the end of 2009 and more playoff berths than any other season in the history of the team. In additional to seven World Series titles in 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918 2004 and 2007, the Boston Red Sox have won quite a few other major league titles. With 12 AL Pennants, 6 East Division titles and 7 Wild Card Berths, there is no argument that the Boston Red Sox. Home games were played at the Huntington Avenue Grounds.

Although the Boston Red Sox started off on a winning streak, in 1906, they lost 100 games and the name change was the impetus needed to improve the standings and team morale. There is seldom mention of baseball greats without a reference to Babe Ruth, one of the greatest players. Although Babe Ruth created a great history for the Boston Red Sox, in 1919 Harry Frazee sold Babe Ruth to their competitors, the New York Yankees. Ruth had just broke the home run record for a single season by hitting 29 home runs that year.

The years that followed were something of a rollercoaster for the Boston Red Sox who reached the finals many times but were often offset at the series finals. In the 60's, Tony Conigliaro became the youngest Red Sox member as well as the youngest player in the league to bat out 24 home runs in a season.

Fenway Park, located at 4 Yawkey Way in Boston, Massachusetts , has been the home of the Boston Red Sox since 1912. Owned by New England Sports Ventures/Boston Red Sox, the playing surface is natural grass. Seating has increased from its original 35,000 in 1912 to 37,402 in 2010 for night games and 36,974 for games during the day. Other teams that have shared Fenway Park with the Boston Red Sox in the past include the Boston Braves, Bulldogs, Redskins, Shamrocks, Yanks, and Beacons.

Fenway Park has been through many upgrades and renovations with modernizations such as seat replacements, added suites, new sod and much more. Fans can chose from many seating configurations including standing room only tickets to concerts and other exciting venues.

Baltimore Orioles Tickets For A Day At Camden Yards
Saturday, May 1, 2010

The Baltimore Orioles have a longstanding and interesting history to their credit. The original team was named the Milwaukee Brewers and was a part of the Western League in 1894. In 1900, when the Western League was renamed to the American League, the Brewers were still around. The first American League season was the next year in 1901 and it was the only season that the team would play under the Brewers name and at the Lloyd Street Grounds located in Milwaukee between 16th Street and 18 Street. The following year, the team relocated to St. Louis and made a name change to the St. Louis Browns. With four winning seasons from 1902 to 1922, the Browns were not rated as one of the top baseball teams but they kept at it.

The Browns built a new park, Sportman's Park and in 1909, rebuilt the park. It was only the third of its kind in the major leagues to be reconstructed with concrete and steel. The year 1910 was a fantastic pursuit of the American League batting title. In the end, Ty Cobb would walk away with the honor but not without much ado that Nap Lajoie should have received the title instead. When all was said and done, several coaches were permanently informally banned from the league for some of their actions.

The legacy of the Browns was to reach a definite end, at least as far as the name goes and so the St. Louis Browns became the Baltimore Orioles in the late 1950's and began to create a distinction for the Orioles by distancing themselves from the former name. Perhaps most notably in December, 1954 when the Orioles traded a whopping 17 players at one time! The last ties to the Browns name and era came in August, 1979 when Edward Bennett Williams bought back 20,000 shares of the franchise's stock that had been sold by the Browns at $5 per share.

The tendency towards losing would be a bit harder to shake for the Orioles. A joke coined for their losing streaks was "First in shoes, first in booze and last in the American League". During the late 1950's, however, newly hired manager Paul Richards coached the Orioles along the way to landing fifth place in the standings in 1957 with a record of 76-76. Richards is also credited with discover Orioles talents like Steve Barber, Jerry Adair and Ron Hansen who became Rookie of the Year in 1960. From around 1966 to the early 1980's were regarded as the glory years for the Orioles and Cal Ripken Sr.'s "perfect practice makes perfect" was developed as an organization wide ethic. Final seasons at Memorial Stadium were concluded in 1991, making way for the Orioles to take their game to a new level and a new location.

Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened in 1992 and became an overnight success with players, coaches, staff and fans alike. This retro-designed ballpark was the pioneer that many other parks would follow suit with in their designs as well. Although the Orioles only finished in third place in their first two seasons, it was no reflection on Camden Yards. Located on West Camden Street in Baltimore, Maryland, Camden Yards has a seating capacity of 48,876 with Kentucky Blue Grass for the playing surface and has been home to the Baltimore Orioles since 1992.

The 50 millionth fan entered Camden Yards on August 19, 2008, setting a milestone for the Orioles in a mere 17 seasons. Some recent memorable games played in Camden Yards include June 30, 2009 when the team scored 10 runs in a game against the Red Sox.

Ticket America has your best seats in a variety of choices with Baltimore Orioles Tickets. Orioles games at home are a pleasure in the spacious Camden Yards.

Lsu Tigers Men's Basketball Tickets And Seating Chart
Sunday, March 14, 2010

It's been a great new experience for the men's basketball team at LSU. Although the entire facility will not be complete until sometime in 2010, the LSU Tigers were excited to practice in their own brand new facility recently. When the construction is complete, there will be a new media room, new team dressing room, equipment facilities, training facilities and two practice gyms; the latter of which has already been finished and made available to the players recently. Although the LSU Tigers were not the first to use the new facilities (the women's basketball team used them the previous weekend), they made good use of the 11,324 square foot gym which is an exact replica of the Maravich Center competition court.

Fans, coaches, staff and team members are optimistic that the new gyms will allow the team to create more focus and concentration on their game skills and build a longer repertoire of wins. Thus far, the LSU Tigers have won games against UL-Monroe, Indiana State, Western Kentucky and UL-Lafayette. Perhaps there's no connection whatsoever, but all of the winning games have been played at the Maravich Center. By contrast, the two away games in the season tip-off against Connecticut and Arizona State were losses for the LSU Tigers. Connecticut beat the Tigers 81-55 and Arizona State dusted the LSU Tigers 71-52.

With plenty of games ahead in the 2009-2010 season and quite a few of the games scheduled at home, there are plenty of opportunities for the LSU Tigers to make this their best season ever. Once finals are complete, the LSU Tigers will return to the court for December games against Northwestern State, Southeastern Louisiana, Nicholls and Rice. The start of the Cougar Hardwood Classic marks the rest of the games in December for the LSU Tigers with games against Washington State and Xavier (Ohio).

Recognized officially as the Pete Maravich Assembly Center at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, it takes its name from Peter Press Maravich (23), all-century team member whose list of accomplishments for the LSU Tigers stretches a mile long but whose life ended suddenly in 1988. Affectionately referred to by most as simply Maravich Center, this two-level facility has been the home to many great games played by the LSU Tigers men's basketball team.

The upper level has sections 304 through 337 designated as the student section. Sections 202, 203, 102, 103 and part of 104 are also set aside for students. So, when making your seating selections, be sure to keep this in mind. Ample seating throughout the rest of the entire venue offer excellent sites from every seat. Maravich Center is a spacious venue that takes every seat to the game for an experience watching the LSU Tigers heat up the court. If you haven't take advantage of the opportunity to experience the LSU Tigers in motion, you owe it to yourself to get tickets to some of these great games held at Maravich Center.

As the LSU Tigers move into the season, there are 13 games scheduled at the Maravich Center and whether you want to attend all of these games or just a chosen one or two, there's no question that great seats are still available to see the LSU Tigers take on opponents like Utah, Alabama, Florida, Auburn, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Georgia and McNeese State.

Now is the perfect time to score group seating in your ideal location and ensure that you don't miss one single moment of the action as the LSU Tigers prepare to hit the new gym in practice and hone their skills for the upcoming games.

Ticket America has your LSU Tigers Mens Basketball Tickets but they wont be here forever so get your choice seats now! Students and fans alike can enjoy every exciting moment of the action that takes place at LSU Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

New York Jets Tickets And Seating Chart

The New York Jets took home a win against the Buffalo Bills recently with a final score 19-13. They'll be taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 13 and fans are optimistic that this will be another win for the New York Jets. The preseason was good to the New York Jets as they won games against New York (27-25) and Philadelphia (38-27). Critics may argue that on the flip side of their preseason games, the New York Jets also lost two games against St. Louis (20-23) and Baltimore (23-24); the latter of which was a very close game for both teams but not close enough for the Jets to take home the victory.

The regular season has been even more fascinating for the New York Jets from the start of the season with a win against Houston (24-7) to their last two winning games against Buffalo and Carolina (17-6). Remaining games for the regular season should be relatively interesting, to say the least with opponents like Atlanta, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Tampa Bay left to play. As the remaining games approach, the New York Jets will be taking the field without injured players Robert Turner (knee), Donald Strickland (concussion) and Dwight Lowery (ankle) who will definitely not play the rest of the season.

Also on the injured roster but a probable to play are members Eric Smith (back), Calvin pace (shoulder), Jim Leonhard (thumb), Mark Sanchez (knee), D'Brickashaw Ferguson (hamstring) and Shaun Ellis (knee). Fans may be most anxious to see Ellis (92) return to the field but are looking forward to seeing all able players display their respective talents in the game rather than on the bench.

Located at State Route 120 and State Route 3 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Giants Stadium is a part of the Meadowlands Sports Complex that is owned and operated by the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority. It is the third largest NFL complex in the country but also the ninth-oldest still in use. As a result, those who wish to experience Giants Stadium should plan to get tickets right away as the days of this venue are numbered and its demolition is planned for 2010 when a new Meadowlands Stadium will be opened.

Seating options at Giants Stadium, which is home to the New York Giants, New York Jets and New York Red Bulls, includes four different level options: Lower, Mezzanine, Upper Center and Upper Endzone. Gates A, B, C, D and the Stadium Club Entrance provide easy entrance from all sides to put you closer to your selected seating. Current seating capacity is 80,200; more than enough seating with excellent sites to please even the most discriminating fan with the perfect location.

Tailgating options are available for those who choose to get the party started in the parking lot before the game. Parking lots at Giants Stadium are open five hours prior to kickoff. For many fans, the tailgating experience is a tradition that is a must. Although open parking spaces should not be used to tailgate nor is tailgating permitted in the parking garage, it is still possible to throw the best tailgate parties in the world before the New York Jets hit the field to play.

Individual, half-season and season tickets are just a few of the choices available when it comes to attending a New York Jets home game. So whether you want to hang out in the Terrace Suites or nestle in close to the front row club seating, the choice is yours. With a limited number of games left to be played in the existing Giants Stadium, there's never been a better time to get to one or more of the New York Jets games.


Ticket America has your New York Jets Tickets for all of the upcoming games. The existing Giants Stadiumwill be demolished in 2010, so its a great time to get seats before this historic venue is torn down!

Ticket America Has Your Wwe Tickets!

World Wresting Entertainment (WWE) is a simulated sport that's as real as it gets for many fans, who swear by the various wrestlers who participate in Raw, SmackDown, WWE Superstars Divas, WrestleMania, ECW and Hell in a Cell. The WWE community has been stunned and saddened by the recent death of Edward "Umaga" Fatu who died of a heart attack at the age of 36.

Founded in 1952, WWE was started by Roderick McMahon and Toots Mondt. Currently, Vince McMahon is the Chairman and CEO with family members Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon and Linda McMahon helping to run the show from every aspect of global media to creative development. WWE may seem like a lot of theatrics and loud talking but WWE represents the industry leaders when it comes to professional wrestling and sports entertainment with more than 560 employees (not including wrestlers) and revenue that exceeded $526 million dollars in 2008.

You may remember the fantastic publicity that Vince McMahon gained during the Monday night wrestling promotions where one person was the lucky recipient of a million dollars each week. Rating soared through the roof as eagerly anticipating fans and contest participants waited to see if they would be the winner of the million dollars. The WWE televised events are not the only way that you can get your major enjoyment from their particular brand of professional wrestling. There are many Internet and live investment as well as film, music and direct sales that take WWE to the next level.

No fan will argue to the contrary, however, that the best way to enjoy WWE is to get to see it live. Although it is a simulated sport, it is precisely this smack talking and antics in and around the ring that drives fans crazy and keeps them coming back for more time and again. From pay per view events where crowds pack venues and sell out tickets months before the actual event comes to town.

Many fans and wrestlers themselves will tell you that it is the extra action-packed confrontational style that adds more than a little umph to each performance where wrestlers are decked out in colorful, tight fitting costumes that show off every muscle. People of all ages gather at WWE events because they combine a talented and unique collection of theater, acting and wrestling. There's no question that it requires knowledge of how to complete dives, jumps and throws but fans are often treated to action that goes outside the ring and includes eye popping visuals such as chair banging, window crashing and much more. And the good news is that no matter who gets hurt and how on national television, it's all a part of the act that's designed for your viewing enjoyment.

When WWE was first started, it was known as Capitol Wrestling Corporation. It was a different world when athletes took to the ring in locations like Madison Square Garden. Around 1963, the name was changed to the World Wide Wrestling Federation but this name would be changed again around 1979 when the organization became known as the World Wrestling Federation. At this time, Vince McMahon came on board and wrestling greats like Roddy Piper, Jesse Ventura, Andre the Giant, Iron Sheik, Ricky Steamboat and Hulk Hogan along with the idea of Wrestlemania took this particular brand of wrestling to a new level. In 2002, the current WWE name was adopted where there was some dispute about WWF, which is also used by an environmental organization that sued.

If you haven't had the pleasure of experiencing WWE in person, you owe it to yourself to get tickets to one or more of these fantastic performances and experience what makes the crowds scream with delight as the professional wrestlers take it to the ring.
