Chicago White Sox Tickets And A Day At U.s. Cellular Field

2010-06-03T00:57:00.000-07:00

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.

Toronto Blue Jays Tickets For A Day At Rogers Centre

2010-05-14T20:00:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-13T19:23:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-02T05:13:00.000-07:00

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

2010-05-01T04:38:00.000-07:00

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

2010-03-14T22:53:00.000-07:00

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.

New York Jets Tickets And Seating Chart

2010-03-14T22:52:00.000-07:00

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.

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.

This is the heart pounding action that no other Sport compares to! Ticket America has your up close and personal WWE Tickets on sale now! Also check out their sports tickets.

2010-03-09T17:13:00.000-08:00

If you're a golf enthusiast, chances are you took to the television religiously this past October to watch the Presidents Cup 2009 on the screen. Perhaps you were fortunate enough to have golf tickets to witness the entire competition. If so you had complete opportunities to witness the sport of golfing at its finest. If you did not, let's start with the Presidents Cup 2009 Team U.S.A. Although the current limelight on team member Tiger Woods is less than favorable with his personal problems, there is no question that as a part of the team, he was a most valuable player and one of only 2 team members who has competed in the Presidents Cup five previous times.

On hand were team captain Fred Couples, assistant captain Jay Haas and team members Woods, Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker, Kenny Perry, Zach Johnson, Stewart Cink, Sean O'Hair, Jim Furyk, Anthony Kim, Justin Leonard, Lucas Glover and Hunter Mahan. The Presidents Cup 2009 International Team included captain Greg Norman, assistant captain Frank Nobilo and team members Geoff Ogilvy, Vijay Singh, Camilo Villegas, Retief Goosen, Ernie Els, Angel Cabrera, Mike Weir, Robert Allenby, Y.E. Yang, Tim Clark, Ryo Ishikawa and Adam Scott. Veteran golfer Singh brought participation experience with the Presidents Cup for seven previous years.

The Thursday Foursomes took to the greens with Kim/Mickelson versus Weir/Clark in Match 1, Mahan/O'Hair versus Scott/Els in Match 2, Glover/Cink versus Singy/Allenby in Match 3, Perry/Johnson versus Cabrera/Villegas in Match 4, Woods/Stricker versus Ogilvy/Ishikawa in Match 5 and Furyk/Leonard versus Goosen/Yang in Match 6. Match 7 through Match 12 was the Friday Four-Ball games and at the end of the day the U.S. Team led the way with 19-1/2 points. The Saturday Foursomes were held for Match 13 through Match 17. Also on Saturday Four-Ball games for matches through Match 22 were held.

The Sunday Singles pitted the skills of Mahan versus Villegas, Cink versus Scott, Leonard versus Weir, Kim versus Allenby, Stricker versus Ogilvy, O'Hair versus Els, Perry versus Ishikawa, Johnson versus Clark, Woods versus Yang, Glover versus Singh, Mickelson versus Goosen and Furyk versus Cabrera. At the end of the day, Woods lead the U.S. Team individual player's scores by finishing off a perfect week. Close behind Woods with just one loss on the Four-Ball and one loss in the Foursomes was International team player Ogilvy.

Harding Park was the chosen location for the 2009 Presidents Cup games. Captain's picks for the U.S. Team were Glover and Mahan. Captain's picks for the International Team were Scott and Ishikawa. Plans have already been made for the 2011 Presidents Cup games, to be held at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. As for the 2009 Harding Park games, players and fans alike whom were on hand were treated to the best golfing on greens that are regarded by many as San Francisco's finest.

Celebrity coach Michael Jordan was present to receive a standing ovation from the U.S. team at the closing ceremonies. Jordan gave an inspirational speech on Saturday night about teamwork in reference to the U.S. team's ability to win six matches outright and score seven points in the Singles. Of some of the "Best" recognitions were Ishikawa for best rookie. Ishikawa, who just turned 18, showed no fear against seasoned players like Perry, who is 49.

Woods and Stricker were voted best partners and received best match recognition for Woods' 23-foot birdie on the 17th hole against Weir and Clark. Woods was also acknowledged for best shot for his second shot in Saturday's Foursomes at the 18th hole par-5 when he landed nine feet for a conceded eagle more than 230 yards out.

Ticket America Has Your Kings Of Leon Tickets!

2010-02-28T21:55:00.000-08:00

This American rock band got its start in 1999 in Nashville , Tennessee and is perhaps one of the only all boy, all brothers bands (we won't name one of the others) in the country and around the world. Not that the concept of all brothers and all boys is new because it isn't but Kings of Leon isn't your everyday white boy band, not by a long shot. Brothers Anthony Followill, Ivan Followill, Michael Followill and cousin Cameron Followill are the members of Kings of Leon. If those names don't sound familiar, it's because all of the members use their middle names on stage so you may know them as Caleb, Nathan, Jared and Matthew.

At the start, Kings of Leon was most recognized for their southern rock infused blues musical sound that had an upbeat tone to it. Over time, however Kings of Leon has continued to expand their signature sound to include a host of different genres. The result has been a more alternative sound that's recognized as alternative rock, southern rock or garage rock revival in various circles of fans of this kind of music.

With a Pentecostal background, for many it didn't come as a surprise that their first record was entitled Holy Roller Novocaine EP, released in February, 2003. It was the precursor to their debut album Youth and Young Manhood, which received a 4 out of 5 star rating from Rolling Stone magazine. Their second album Aha Shake Heartbreak was released in the U.S. in 2005 and featured hits like The Bucket, King of the Rodeo and Four Kicks. Fame wasn't a stranger to Kings of Leon as they released their third album Because of the Times. Taper Jean Girl was tapped to be in the movies Disturbia and Cloverfield, adding more appreciation for Kings of Leon and their signature sounds and foot-stomping beats.

Holding four Grammy nominations on the table for Kings of Leon now and their recent release of Live at the O2: London, there's plenty of buzz going on around this band. If you didn't get to their concerts recently, there will be more opportunities to enjoy Kings of Leon in the near future. In the meantime, those who were fortunate enough to get tickets to their recent appearances were treated to a musical extravaganza that most will never forget.

Getting a copy of Live at the O2: London that's recently been released is, for many, the next best thing to seeing Kings of London live and in person. The crystal clear sound and beautiful picture of blu ray. If you don't have this exciting performance set by Kings of Leon yet, you owe it to yourself to get your hands on one of these DVDs before they're all sold out. This is a band that brings vocals, music, lyrics and more to the stage in an outstanding manner every time the start to sing. Whether you like to kick back in your seat or enjoy a few steps out of your seat, there's something for everyone and Kings of Leon moves you to find your groove and get into it.

This handsome group of family members has graced the pages of Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Rockstar and Uomo Vogue with thought-provoking interviews and hot pictures that keep the young ladies smiling. With more music on the horizon and plans for additional tours after the holidays, there's never been a better time to get to know Kings of Leon and enjoy the sounds of music this band is putting into the music industry. You'll be glad that you did.

Ticket America has your Kings of Leon Tickets with great seating choices for every upcoming concert. Getting these great Concert Tickets is a breeze with Ticket America!

Philadelphia Eagles Tickets And Seating Chart

2010-02-28T21:54:00.000-08:00

The Philadelphia Eagles took home a win against Washington on November 29 with a final score of 27-24. It was a close game, but when the final buzzer rang, the Philadelphia Eagles were ahead three points and walked away winners. The next game is against the Atlanta Falcons and promises to be another exciting opportunity to see the Philadelphia Eagles in action.

Critics of this hardworking team may be quick to point out that the 2009 season has not been the best for the Philadelphia Eagles. They opened the preseason with a loss against the Patriots and followed it with another loss against the Colts. A third loss against the Jets made their win against the Jaguars the only one of the preseason. As the regular season began, the Philadelphia Eagles set about making a winning streak but periodic losses seemed to continue to plague the team. There's no argument from critics, fans and even the team themselves that the loss to the Saints on September 20 was a deep wound where the Philadelphia Eagles suffered through 22 points as the Saints made more than twice as many points.

Perhaps a great deal of controversy surrounds player Michael Vick but there's more to a team than one member's past and with supportive and optimistic fans along with knowledgeable staff behind them, the Philadelphia Eagles can approach each of the remaining games in the season with anticipation of many more opportunities to do what they do best: throw the ball and play some really good football. For certain, this team has some great offensive players and coaches but they need to work hard on staying away from the penalties. There are those who focus on the stat sheets when they look at the Philadelphia Eagles and others who look at the sheer force and raw power of the players as they come to the field. This season, there's a clear difference between the two.

Lincoln Financial Field is the location where all of the home games are played by the Philadelphia Eagles. It was decided that the team would benefit from a new stadium when they were purchased by Jeffrey Lurie in 1994 and plans were set about to begin building Lincoln Financial Field. Today, there are many excellent sites and fantastic amenities for every visitor who comes to this world class stadium. Whether you are planning to attend for football, entertainment or another sports venue, you will find that there is no other stadium in the world that quite compares to Lincoln Financial Field.

There's the Pepsi Gate, SCA Club & Suite Entry, West Club & Suite Entry, West Gate and Comcast Gate, each with its own particular entry that provides the best way to get to specific seating in the area. Located at the corner of Broad Street and Pattison Avenue, there are many seating options designed to suit even the most discriminating patron to Lincoln Financial Field. On the 100 Level, which is surrounded by the main concourse, there are many amenities to choose from as you enter the stadium and all during your game day festivities. Family restrooms, ATMs and enough concessions to ensure that you get what you want to eat, ranging from a famous Philly steak and cheese option to many other great tasting delights.

Those who enjoy seating that's ample and spacious can choose from the 200 Level where there are great sites and still more eateries to choose from. The 200 Level is easily accessible from several gated entries and forms nearly a complete circle around Lincoln Financial Field so that you can have the perfect seating option on virtually any side of the stadium.

Now is the perfect time to get your Philadelphia Eagles Tickets while you can still chose from some of the best seats in the house. Ticket America has your choices. Visiting Lincoln Financial Field provides you with an opportunity to experience a world class stadium and enjoy fantastic game day amenities.

Ticket America Has Your Aventura Tickets

2010-02-15T19:31:00.001-08:00

Also known as The Kings of Bachata, K.O.B., Aventura is a Bachata music group that got its start back in 1994. The members of Aventura are Anthony "Romeo" Santos, Lenny Santos, Henry Santos Jeter and Max Santos. In additional to Bachata music, Aventura is recognized for performing R&B and Reggaeton genres of music as well. To date, Aventura has sold more than one million albums featuring hits like Obsesion, All Up 2 You, La Boda, Los Infeles, Dile Al Amor, Por Un Segundo, Un Beso, Mi Corazoncito, Ella y Yo, Su Veneno and El Perdedor.

Unlike many new bands who start out with the intention of building popularity through the ranks of the general public, Aventura made their claim to fame by being true to family and friends. Group leader Anthony Santos was born and raised in the Bronx and grew up listening to many of the popular bachateros like Teodoro Reyes, Raulin Rodriguez, Blas Duran and Joe Veras. Combining their love of the music and family and sharing their interest in performing, Aventura first began performing for local young people and their friends. This is how Aventura gained momentum as well as popularity.

Aventura released their first studio album entitled Generation Next in 1999. It featured Cuando Volveras, their only hit single from the album at first. We Broke the Rules, their second album, was released in 2002. Their hit Obsesion would take them to the top of the charts around the world. Just a year later in 2003, Love & Hate, their third album was released. A year later, in 2004, the hit Hermanita put Aventura on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks list. In 2005, God's Project was released and a year later, K.O.B. Live.

There has been no stopping Aventura ever since then. In 2009, they released The Last which made it to the top spot on Hot Latin Tracks. In October, Aventura joined the Hispanic Heritage celebration given by President Barack Obama. Aventura performed with great entertainers such as Marc Anthony, Gloria Estafan, Jennifer Lopez, Comedian George Lopez and a host of others. One thing that has set Aventura apart from other bands is that they have created their own unique style that infuses reggaeton, hip hop and R&B into a completely original style of bachata that includes both English and Spanish in the lyrics.

The Last The Tour is definitely proof of the success that Aventura is encountering at every turn. In November alone, Aventura has performed repeatedly to sold out audiences of adoring fans who have leaped at the opportunity to experience this exciting group live and in person. Starting in Chicago on November 20, every concert from that point through November 28 has sold out completely. This is, in no small part, a testament to the unique sound and powerful lyrics that Aventura brings to the stage.

The Last The Tour will continue through February, 2010 with appearances scheduled for Toyota Center in Houston (Texas), The Joint Hard Rock Café in Las Vegas (Nevada), Jobing Arena in Glendale (Arizona), San Diego Sports Arena in San Diego (California), HP Pavillion in San Jose (California), Staples Center in Los Angeles (California), Amway Arena in Orlando (Florida), American Airlines Arena in Miami (Florida), Madison Square Garden in New York (New York), Mohegan Sun in Connecticut and rounding back to Madison Square Garden on February 1, 2010 to close out the tour.

Already, appearances for December 15, January 20 and January 21 are completely sold out at scheduled locations. If you haven't experienced the excitement of Aventura live and in person, you owe it to yourself to get your hands on some of these tickets today!

Ticket America Has Your Metallica Tickets

2010-02-15T18:54:00.000-08:00

If you're a fan, you already know that James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo are the current members of the smash hits band Metallica. Did you know that former members included Ron McGovney, Dave Mustaine, Cliff Burton and Jason Newsted. Now you do. Metallica has been delighting audiences since 1981 when this heavy metal band first formed in Los Angeles, California. Also recognized for their skills in thrash metal, hard rock and speed metal, Metallica got its start when Ulrich posted an advertisement in his local paper.

Whether you appreciate the group most for their earlier releases that included aggressive tempos and fast instrumentals or are more of a fan of their newer releases, there's no question that Metallica has played their way to the top in the underground music community as well has hitting the top of the charts with their 1991 self-titled album. Their prior album Master of Puppets had already thrust Metallica into the limelight in 1986 and received critical acclaim as one of the most influential heavy thrash metal albums.

To date, Metallica has won nine Grammy Awards. This successful band has sold more than 100 million records around the world with the release of their album Death Magnetic. With two live albums, nine studio albums, forty-five singles, two EPs and twenty-four music videos, Metallica has shined in the star light of having five consecutive albums to make their debut at number one on Billboard 200. Tragedy struck Metallica when Burton was killed in a freak bus accident where other members of the band only sustained minor injuries. It was a devastating blow but after Burton's family gave their blessings, approximately 40 people tried out as a replacement before newcomer Newsted joined the band.

In May, 2009, Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. By this time, Newsted had left the band and been replaced by Trujillo. Both Newsted and Trujillo performed on stage and Burton's father was on hand to receive this prestigious award in his son's honor. In November, 2009, Metallica was on hand to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's two-night series of concerts that were held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

True to the excitement that Metallica always creates at a concert, the band performed Sweet Jane with Lou Reed, All Day and All of the Night with Ray Davies, Iron man/Paranoid with Ozzy Osborne and outstanding renditions of For Whom the Bells Toll and Enter Sandman. HBO was on hand to record every step of the journey with Metallica for this fantastic event so you can expect the program to air on cable.

Currently, the World Magnet Tour lives up to its name in every sense of the word. Since January, Metallica has performed to sold out crowds across the United States and around the world. From the first concert, which was performed on January 12 at Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to their recent November 15 performances at Madison Square Garden in New York, New York fans everywhere have been snatching up tickets to see and hear this band perform live.

The World Magnet Tour continues through the end of 2009 with many venues already sold out for shows scheduled at Mandalay Bay in Vegas, Idaho Center in Boise, ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Honda Center in Anaheim and HP Pavilion in San Jose. With some much deserved time off for the Christmas and New Year's holidays, fans can expect Metallica to return to the tour circuit on January 19, 2010 when they'll be performing at Estadio San Marcos in Lima, Peru. From there, it's no stopping Metallica as they venture to Santiago (Chile), Porto Alegre (Brazil), Guadalajara and Monterrey (Mexico), Guatemala City (Guatemala), San Jose (Costa Rica), Panama City (Panama), Bogota (Columbia), Caracas (Venezula), San Juan (Puerto Rick), Oslo (Norway), Riga (Latvia), Vilnius (Lithuania), Moscow (Russia) and Belfast (N.

Ticket America Has Your Wicked Tickets

2010-02-07T14:47:00.002-08:00

Here is a new musical that has taken Broadway by storm. Wicked, The Untold Story of The Witches of Oz gives new life to what has been the traditional story of the Wizard of Oz and takes a look at the witches Glenda The Good Witch and the Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West long before they became the famed characters who met Dorothy. Academy award winner Stephen Schwartz (The Prince of Egypt and Pocahontas) wrote the lyrics and created the music for this modern day new spin on the classic story about Dorothy and her little dog Toto.

This isn't the same story hashed over though and it's being met with rave reviews from many visitors who are enjoying this musical that is based on the story by Gregory Maguire that has become a best-selling novel. The award-winning contributions don't stop there though. Tony Award winner Wayne Cliento (How to Succeed..., Aida, The Who's Tommy) is responsible for the musical staging. Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (Glengarry Glen Ross, Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, Take Me Out) is the director of Wicked. Although the show is not intended for children under 4 and not recommended for children under 8, Wicked is an excellent musical that lasts 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Wicked has already won several awards for Outstanding Musical, Outstanding Book of a Musical, Outstanding Lyrics and Outstanding Orchestrations and continues to delight audiences around the country and the world. First opened in 2003 at the San Francisco tryout, Wicked has been going strong ever since in famous theaters around the world and on national tours. Visitors to this exciting musical can listen closely and hear some references to the 1939 original version of The Wizard of Oz in the back story, tying this new story line in very effectively.

When Wicked went on tour in 2005, the first week in July, it grossed nearly $1,500,000. The Ford Center for the Performing Arts Oriental Theatre was the location for this fantastic opening and many good reviews were to follow as Wicked toured to Universal Studios (Japan), West End-London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Stuttgart, Melbourne, San Francisco, Sydney and Osaka.

With a second national tour that started this year on June, Wicked continues to delight audiences around the world and has more performances scheduled for at least Oberhausen in June, 2010. In Sydney this year in September, many of the Melbourne cast returned and put Wicked in the running for nearly breaking the record for the highest grossing musical ever held at Capitol Theatre. The 2010 performances will begin March 17, 2010 in Oberhausen, Germany at the Metronom Theater Centro. It will be a transfer of the Stuttgart production but casting has not been decided at this point.

For those who have already had the pleasure of seeing Wicked at least once, you know that this great musical is one you can see time and again and it won't get old. There is also a cast recording of the original Broadway production. Universal Music released this original album in December, 2003 and features all of the songs performed on stage except "The Wicked Witch of the East". If you haven't had the opportunity to see Wicked live yet, your chance may come soon at one of the finest theaters in your area. You owe it to yourself to check out Wicked and see what all of the great reviews are about.

If you've been looking for a new spin on an old classic that is as timeless as baseball and apple pie, then you want to get tickets to see Wicked!

The modern day tale of two witches from the Wizard of Oz is the story of Wicked and Ticket America has your Wicked Tickets. There are very few shows that offer Theater Tickets youll thoroughly enough from start to finish like Wicked.

Pittsburgh Steelers Tickets And Seating Chart

2010-02-07T14:46:00.000-08:00

You don't have to be a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers Official Fan Club or have their Official Steelers Toolbar to know that these reigning Super Bowl champions are a force to be reckoned with. Just ask the Ravens who snuck in a win against their AFC North rivals but suffered five sacks in the second half of their quarterback, Joe Flacco. This clearly demonstrates the power, the prowess and the ability of the Pittsburgh Steelers to take a man down again and again.

The month of December promises to be a busy one for the Pittsburgh Steelers both on and off the playing field. Autograph signings by Chris Hoke, Tyrone Carter and Mewelde Moore will take place on December 1, 15 and 18 respectively. December 3 is the 65 Roses Sports Auction. The Pittsburgh Steelers Toys for Tots Drive is December 6. December 7 is the Carson Scholars Fund Auction. On December 8, Pittsburgh Steelers players will host a toy drive. Dazzle & Denim for Sickle Cell will be on December 14. A book reading by Jerome Bettis will be on December 17 and Deans Women's 202 Event is scheduled for December 18.

Sunday's loss to the Ravens marks something of an unexpected losing streak for these fantastic football players. Games against the Bengals and Chiefs were also losses for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Taking a glimpse back to the start of the 2009 season for the team, there's no question that winning has been the objective and the outcome for the majority of the games whether at home or away. The team has a few days to bolster up defenses and get mindsets back on the winning track. On December 6, the Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Raiders at home at 1 p.m. Fans, coaches, staff and members themselves are certainly hoping to see the Pittsburgh Steeler go home a winner from this game and the remainders for the season.

Sunday's game and all home games are played at Heinz Field. This horseshoe shaped stadium has an open south end with its axis the same as Point State Park. There are club lounges on the west and east sidelines and the north end zone. The first two aforementioned lounges have beverage kiosks, a video wall, specialty food stands and a three-story atrium space; all perfect to take in a football game or convert for small or large banquet gathering. The seating capacity of Heinz Field is 65,050 with 7,300 additional seating options in club areas and 1,544 seats in 129 luxury suites.

There are 24 women's, 24 men's and 8 family restrooms, 47 concession stands, 15 novelty stands and 7 team stores at Heinz Field, offering a little bit of something for everyone; even those with the most discriminating of tastes. When you come to Heinz Field to enjoy a Pittsburgh Steelers game, gone are the days of plain old football with a hotdog, unless that's how you like it. This venue has 400 televisions that are linked to the main scoreboard, 2 video walls and a scoreboard video display that expands to an enormous 96 feet by 27 feet.

Winter Games Tickets And Seating Chart

2010-01-27T11:28:00.002-08:00

The 2010 Winter Olympics will be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and promises to be a fascinating collection of winter games you won't want to miss. Officially recognized as the XXI Olympic Winter Games, the dates of the 21st Winter Olympics will be held February 12 through 28, 2010. For these set of winter games, fans will be able to enjoy the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, which have been organized by the Vancouver Organizing Committee (VANOC).

Starting with the Vancouver 2010 logo, which is called llanaaq the lnunnguaq. This colorful symbol was chosen for its unique design and meaning, which is "friend". The 2010 winter games mark the third time that the Olympics have been hosted by Canada. In both 1976 and 1988, Montreal and Calgary hosted the summer and winter games respectively. In 2010, it is estimated that more than 80 nations will participate and that roughly 5,500 athletes will be on hand to demonstrate the world's finest athletic abilities.

The list of sports and games that will be included in the 2020 winter games includes alpine skiing, biathlon, bobsleigh, cross-country skiing, curling, figure skating, freestyle skiing, ice hockey, Luge, Nordic combine, short track speed skating, skeleton, ski jumping, snowboarding and speed skating. Categorized into ice sports, Nordic events and alpine, the winter games in 2010 are already shaped up to be a fantastic series of events for those who appreciate the beauty of the Canadian countryside and these competitive games.

Those who were expecting to see mixed double curling, team alpine skiing, team bobsled, team skeleton, team luge, women's ski jumping and biathlon mixed relay will find that these games have been rejected for the 2010 winter games but may be open for consideration in the future and were given consideration for women in the Continental Cup that was held back in January this year.

The 2010 Winter Games ice hockey competitive events will be held at Canada Hockey Place. Located at 800 Griffiths Way in Vancouver, Canada Hockey Place is the home of the Vancouver Canucks. This full sized indoor arena was built in 1995 to replace the Pacific Coliseum and is the main venue destination in Vancouver. With a seating capacity of nearly 19,000, the 2010 Winter Games events being held at Canada Hockey Place promise to be interesting, to say the least.

For the most part, any Olympic event held at this venue tends to sell tickets out quickly and the expectation is that the 2010 Winter Games will be no exception. For those who want to know a little history behind the name Canada Hockey Place, this main venue for Vancouver is actually known as General Motors Place. However, because they are corporate sponsors who cannot brand sporting venues, the building has temporarily been renamed to Canada Hockey Place for the 2010 Winter Games.

Not only is ice hockey regarded by many as the favorite sport of Canada, but the Olympics has traditionally drawn out large crowds of fans who want to get a good seat and view of the action on the ice. Canada Hockey Place, located in the downtown area of Vancouver, has already served more than 10 million visitors. Whether you want options in the upper level seating area or to get close enough to the ice to see the players smile when they score a goal, the choices are available but the best seats in the house are sure to get sold out quickly.

If you're thinking about getting to Canada Hockey Place and witnessing some of these fantastic sports feats on ice, now is a great time to secure your tickets for the 2010 Winter Games.

Now is the perfect time to get your Winter Games Tickets before the best seats are gone! Many sporting events will be held at Canada Hockey Place located in the heart of downtown Vancouver.

His is a household name in the United States and around the world and even those who aren't fans can sing some of the lyrics to his popular songs because they ring through with words of truth about growing up with hard knocks and having 99 problems. Known to the world as Jay-Z, husband of super celebrity Beyonce, Sean Carter is a power figure like the world has never known. Recipient of more awards for his music than time will allow to mention, endorsed by Reebok with the RBK S. Carter shoe line, the list goes on and on for this one-man show that puts the world on notice with hard core lyrics that defy auto tune made sounds.

With more than 33 million albums sold to date, Jay-Z was quoted as having retired but seems to be giving no indication of slowing down or stopping the jams that just keep coming year after year. Jay-Z is also a philanthropic with the Shawn Carter Scholarship Fund, Annual Jay-Z Santa Claus Toy Drive and Team Roc; the last of which is a charitable organization that helps underprivileged children from New York City.

Jay-Z and singing sensation Alicia Keys recently performed at Game 2 of the 2009 World Series to a packed house in New York. Baseball fans were treated to more than just an awesome game as Keys and Jay-Z rocked the house. Regarded by many as a unique performer, entertainer, and accomplished business man, there's little you can say about Jay-Z that isn't good.

The Sprite Liquid Mix Tour was a complete success its first year with Jay-Z as headliner and completely sold out. Performing on the tour with Jay-Z were musical entertainers Hoobastank, The Roots and N.E.R.D.

The Hard Knock Life Tour gave birth to the behind the scenes DVD "Backstage".

With so much of the road of accomplishment already under his belt with tours, records, businesses, marriage, interviews and more, many question what Jay-Z will do to amaze us next since he has crossed so many boundaries and barriers. One thing is for certain however and that's that anytime Jay-Z chooses to hit the road, the tickets are quickly snatched up and the tours are well worth the price and the way to get to a live performance by this unmistakably top shelf hip hop artist. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy his next tour by securing your concert tickets right away.

Great Boxing Tickets

2009-12-23T11:03:00.000-08:00

It is regarded by many as a pastime that's as appreciated as baseball and other sports. It is defined as a combat sport that put two competitors into a ring to fight a specified number of rounds to determine who is the more able component by engaging in a fight with their fists. Simple enough right? Of course there is far more technical terminology and jargon that you can avail yourself of in order to get a better understanding of boxing and the semantics that go along with a match, round or bout but the basic explanation here suffices when it comes to prize fighters and the boxing that takes place between them.

For some people, it is the mention of great boxing legends like Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and Joe Louis. The International Boxing Hall of Fame recognizes Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Henry Armstrong, Archie Moore, Sugar Ray Robinson, Benny Leonard and Ali are all recognized as members. The World Boxing Hall of Fame also exists to recognize some of the sport's greatest talents.

It is believed that boxing has origins in ancient Greece but has evolved greatly since those days. Today there are several different types of boxing but the major considerations are professional boxing and amateur boxing. Both major styles share some similarities but are also primarily different from clothing to number of rounds to boxing style and terminology. There are some great boxing events in both professional and amateur boxing, especially over recent years when amateur boxing has caught the eye and interest of more people.

Professional boxing has always been an interest to people from all walks of life from the ultra celebrity to the average joe. There is no question that professional boxing has taken on a life all its own as contrasted to amateur boxing which still requires headgear. There is big money to be made in professional boxing, particularly at the heavyweight level, which seems to attract the largest crowds at some of the most fantastic venues in the world.

Few people are unaware of great boxing matches include former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Promoter Don King successfully marketed these matches to create mega wealth for himself and Tyson. If you enjoy this type of heart-pounding action where great boxing is the order of the day, there are many events you'll have the opportunity to witness and there's nothing like being there in person rather than watching a bout on television.

From resorts in Las Vegas to other exciting venues around the world such as Madison Square Garden, many boxing matches are scheduled in locations to provide you with not only an opportunity to see the professionals duke it out but to enjoy the surroundings with great dining experiences, casino options and much more. The bad news is that there are sometimes a limited number of tickets available for the best seats in the house and unless you move quickly, the choices will become quite limited or in a worst case scenario, tickets will be sold out.

Don't let this happen to you. If you've been keeping your eye on a particular professional boxer and you're hoping to get ticket to an upcoming match, there's no time like the present to get cracking and secure your tickets so that you can experience every gut-wrenching punch to the ribs or jaw up close and personal. Imagine the excitement you'll get from being in the audience, up close and personal and nearly feeling the sweat fly along with the punches, to hear the calls of the referee and root for your favorite boxer along with other fans in the house.

Theres no time like now to get your hands on some of the best seats in the house with Boxing Tickets from Ticket America. Just a few clicks of the mouse and your tickets are secure.

Boston Red Sox Tickets And Seating Chart

2009-12-23T11:01:00.000-08:00

Recently there's been a lot of talk on the grapevines, blogs, word of mouth engines and such about free agents and general manager Theo Epstein held a press conference recently to speak about the hopes that are held to turn their due diligence regarding free agents into potential action that may keep players like Bay slugging away in left field after the dust settles. The Red Sox retain exclusive rights to Bay until the clock strikes midnight on Friday. After that time, all free agents can sign with any major team. At the very least, the Red Sox will get some indications about which team members that they would like to retain whether or not they will stay put or move on.
"I think it could go a number of different directions," Epstein has already said. "...we're always open to change because I think you need change to improve as part of the natural cycle in baseball and life."

Los Angeles Lakers Tickets And Seating Chart

2009-12-14T12:03:00.000-08:00

When you've been at the top of your game and the best of the best, sometimes fans think it's easy to repeat past successes. For the most part, it is often easier said than done to repeat a championship year, particularly if there was a great deal of struggle. During preseason games this year, the Los Angeles Lakers took on the competition both at home and away and made a great show of putting the game in their pocket most of the time. In October, there were plenty of fan smiles to go around as the Lakers won all but three games; a close call versus Golden State early in the month, another close call against the Denver and an 80-94 loss against Dallas on the 30th.

This month the Lakers started off within a winning streak that had fans screaming for more. Atlanta, Oklahoma City, Houston, Memphis, New Orleans and Phoenix all came to the Lakers' house and were swept up in the momentum that each game brought and all took home losses against this team that seemed unbeatable. But, Denver came along and, just as it was in the preseason, the Lakers were unable to keep their winning streak going and lost to Denver big time, 79-105.

Lakers fans, coaches and the Lakers themselves are quite optimistic at this point because the season is very young and there are plenty of opportunities left ahead for the Lakers to do what they do best: win. Names like Kobe Bryant, Shannon Brown and Andrew Bynum are often at the top of the news headlines because they are great players who score mega points in the game. The fans are no less loyal to the rest of the team though because it takes a whole team to get the job done.

Regarded by many as the sports and entertainment center of the world, Staples Center is an award-winning venue that's home to five different professional sports franchises, including the Los Angeles Lakers. The recipient of the Pollstar-CIC Arena of the Year award, Staples Center is located at 1111 S. Figueroa Street in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, California. Easily accessible from many major freeways and close proximity to Nokia Theatre, Staples Center has been the home of the Los Angeles Lakers since 1999. With half of the games held at Staples Center, the Los Angeles Lakers are some of the league's leaders for home game wins.

Famous numbers of the Los Angeles Lakers that have been retired at Staples Center include those for Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Staples Center has also been the site of many fantastic entertainment events and most recently was the location for the Michael Jackson Memorial Service. For Los Angeles Lakers home games, seating options exist for all budgets and site views. Level 100 offers heart-pounding action when the Lakers hit the court. Level 200 is just as action packed and you're not subject to get any Lakers players into the seat next to you from a fly jump.

Suite Levels A, B, and C are an engagement with luxury bar none. If you're planning to attend a Los Angeles Lakers game at Staples Center, screenings, inspections and a trip through the metal detector is required before you are allowed entry to plan to arrive in plenty of time to get to your seats. There are many great concession choices on the main concourse as well as the upper concourse. Those who want the pleasure of something more substantial than hot dogs, pizza and hamburgers on the Suite levels (also premier ticket holders), can choose from San Manual Club, City View Grill and Lexus Club who offer spectacular views of the city as well as excellent dining choices to complete your Lakers game experience.

Minnesota Twins Tickets And Seating Chart

2009-12-06T22:32:00.000-08:00

Less than 150 days to opening day for the Minnesota Twins and excited fans are counting down to the 2010 season and expecting great things from the Twins. April 5 marks the opening day and players, coach and fans alike will be geared up to go. Catcher Joe Mauer recently added a third Silver Slugger Award to his mantle. Mauer won the Silver Slugger Award in 2006 and 2008. Following closely on the heels of a second straight Gold Glove Award, many consider Mauer to be one of the leading potentials for the American League MVP Award. We will soon find out as the announcement will be made on November 23.

There's been plenty of activity going on with the Twins this month and the excitement over some changes has the Twins camp looking ahead with optimism. The acquisition of shortstop J.J. Hardy in exchange for Carlos Gomez came just after the announcement of the moving sale, which was held on November 7. Fans were invited to the Metrodome and offered a variety of memorabilia and merchandise as the Twins prepared for their move to Target Field. Also related to the Target Field move, the Twins announced plans to launch "This is Twins Territory"; their 2010 advertising campaign. The first commercial will air on November 9 on local stations in Twin Cities.Although talks have been quiet between the Twins and Mauer, many fans believe that he is a cornerstone for the team and that talks will pull through to keep Mauer from heading to where more money is being offered. Many of the players are referring to Mauer as an outstanding player and hope to see him awarded the MVP Awarder later this month.

With the brand new Target Field on the horizon for the Twins, fans, team members, coaches and staff are all looking forward to breaking in the new location. The Metrodome Stadium has been home to the Minnesota Twins since it first opened in 1956. Some fans are nostalgic about the move but most are excited about the new location of Target Field which is conveniently located. When it comes to seating option, there are a few things about Target Field seating that you should be aware of to ensure that your seat selection is the most comfortable and enjoyable one for you.

Some seats are angled towards home plate more than the section. Protective netting behind the home plate covers sections 111-117, home plate terrace sections 212-218 and home plate view sections 312-318. You cannot view the left field wall from the home run porch view sections nor can the right center field wall be viewed from the grandstand. Overall, however, these custom seating arrangements offer visitors the opportunity to make the most of each ballpark experience at Target Field.

Six different gates provide easy access to the field from all sides. Choices for seating include the main level, terrace level and club level. With approximately 18,500 infield seats and a total of 40,000 seat available, there's a perfect seat at Target Field for you. More aisle and fewer seats per row than the Metrodome are just a couple of new features fans will enjoy. Transportation to Target Field by car, rail, transit, bus or bike is possible. Every level of Target Field will have heated concessions and restrooms and the roof canopy will offer protection from less than perfect weather.

A total of six different types of seating provides fans with many options. These types include typical seating, pavilion seating, champions club seating, dugout club seating and legends club seating. Less than 6 percent of the Field has bleachers type seating.

The season looks promising for the Minnesota Twins Tickets. The new Target Field will be home to the Twins as they start the 2010 season.

Philadelphia Phillies Tickets And Seating Chart

2009-11-28T16:24:00.000-08:00

When it comes to National League Championships, the Philadelphia Phillies are no strangers. More than just team champs, the Philadelphia Phillies second basement Chase Utley recently won the National League Silver Slugger Award for the fourth time. Each of the last four seasons since 2009, Utley, 30, has taken home this much-deserved recognition. Utley is in line behind Ryne Sandberg, who took home the award five years in a row, and Mike Schmidt who won it a total of six times (not consecutively). Utley's 2009 runs, on-base percentage, slugging percent and extra-base hits put him ahead as leader of the pack for all National League second basemen.

Most won't argue that the Philadelphia Phillies gave the 2009 season more than a good run and although fans were disappointed that they didn't take the world series, it was the kind of ball playing that made each swing of the bat a pleasure to watch. The Philadelphia Phillies opened the World Series against the Yankees and nearly shut the competition out on October 28, 6 to 1. Game 2 was not as tight and the Yankees slipped by the Phillies a couple of times to walk away with a win, 3 to 1 Yankees.

League Championship Series games found the Philadelphia Phillies winning the series 4 to 1 during the month of October with an 11 to 0 shutout against LAD on October 18. If you were able to get to any of these great games in person, it was nothing short of fabulous to see this team eat up the competition time and time again with only one loss in Game 2. After some much deserved rest and relaxation, fans can expect to see the Philadelphia Phillies back in action for Spring Training in Clearwater, Florida starting in March. Those who want to see the team in the on deck series in Philadelphia will have to wait until April 2.

Citizens Bank Park is the home of the Philadelphia Phillies and this venue is nothing short of amazing. Whether you're looking for dazzling views, spectacular amenities, an intimate array of features or just a ballpark experience that takes your breath away, getting to Citizens Bank Park is a must for one or more of the great home games featuring the Philadelphia Phillies. Located at One Citizens Bank Way in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, gates open 1-1/2 hours prior to the start of the games held on Monday through Friday.

Seating choices for Citizens Bank Park offer options to suit every taste and budget type. Not everyone wants the prime experience of the Diamond Club or Hall of Fame Club premium seating but these options bar none. On field level, infield, baseline and outfield seating provides reasonably priced action-packed views you're sure to appreciate. The club level offers a wide variety of choices for those who want action that include spectacular views and easy access to concessions.

Ticket America Has Your Bruce Springsteen Concert Tickets

2009-11-28T16:23:00.000-08:00

The year 1949 was a great year when it comes to the birth of a superstar. It was the year that Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen, affectionately known to fans around the world as "The Boss" was born. A native of New Jersey, Springsteen has been thrilling crowds around the world since 1972 with his signature sound of songs with heartland rock.

Widely appreciated for his poetic lyrics and Americana tunes that are infused with sentiments about New Jersey and his particular brand of rock, there are very few people who haven't heard of The Boss. Often, just the first few bars of one of his songs and you find yourself singing along with the lyrics because his feel good music reminds you of how great it is to be an American. Springsteen has performed with the E Street Band, Miami Horns, Seeger Sessions Band and Steel Mill and if you appreciate nothing else about Springsteen, you know that he puts heart and soul into his songs.

Strong expressions run across his face in some of the intense ballads he performs and you feel the rhythm that makes you get up and dance in his party rock-style tunes and rousing anthems. He draws us into deeply emotional stories in song form and we relate because the tunes could easily have been written about us. His albums Born in the U.S.A. and Born to Run are the prime examples of how well Springsteen takes the American struggle of daily life and puts it to music in a grandiose style that you can't help but appreciate. Born in the U.S.A. made Springsteen one of the most popular artists of the 80's. With an Academy Award, 19 Grammy Awards and 2 Golden Globes, Springsteen has sold more than 195 million records around the world.

Continuing in the tradition that exhibits the passion and love for music that is a trademark, Springsteen and the E Street Band took to the road in March this year with an opening concert at the Convention Center in Springsteen's hometown of Asbury Park, New Jersey. For hours, fans were delighted as Springsteen and the band blazed out more than 21 songs. Audiences across the country and around the world have been enjoying outstanding performances in venues since then and the excitement continues.

With just a few more opportunities that still like ahead for this tour, if you haven't had the chance to witness Springsteen in action, you simply must get your hands on some of these tickets before they are all gone. It's the last leg of the tour but as the saying goes, often they save the best for last. If you're thinking about getting in on the best of the Springsteen tour for 2009, you're in luck because this award winning singer can still be seen at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; the Sommett Center in Nashville, Tennessee; the 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore, Maryland and the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York is the last planned stop for the tour.

If you've ever had the chance to see Springsteen performing live, you know there's nothing that compares to witnessing this awesome performer. The E Street Band makes you get up and dance because you simply can't resist the heart pounding percussions and guitars. Springsteen is famous for grabbing the harmonica, telecaster and guitar and belting out the music you've come to love him for. If you haven't experienced this music live and in person, the opportunities are calling now and there's no time like the present to get your tickets and check out Springsteen for yourself.

Missing The Boss? There are still a few venues left on the 2009 tour. Ticket America has Bruce Springsteen venues. We have some of the best Concert Tickets available.

Ticket America Has Your U2 Concert Tickets

2009-11-24T13:24:00.000-08:00

It's the concert people all over the world have been waiting for, the U2 350 Tour in 2010. The excitement is building in the air and if you've attended a U2 concert before, you know that this band is worth every cent you spend to get in on the live music, action and entertainment this Dublin band brings to the stage. If you haven't been to a U2 concert, there's nothing that compares to being in the audience and getting the acoustics feeds and witnessing the spectacular performances as Bono belts out some of your favorite tunes live, up close and in person.

Bono, Adam Clayton, The Edge and Larry Mullen Jr. are true performers when it comes to live stage events like the 360 tour that's already begun. Tickets began going on sale in mid-March for the European shows and quickly sold out in Milan, Amsterdam and Gothenburg. "We don't take anything for granted," Bono said about the sold out shows that were scheduled for Croke Parke in Dublin, "It's a very big deal for us to sell out our hometown at such speed..."

As you may already know, U2 has been making musical since forming their band during secondary school back in 1976 when they were still teenagers. Although they had no formal musical proficiency at the time, it didn't take long before the foursome had struck a deal with Island Records and released their first album. In less than 10 years, U2 begun being recognized as one of the world's top groups, particularly in live performances. With 12 studio albums under their belts and more than 145 million records sold, U2 has won more Grammy awards than any other band with 22 to their credit. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005 and making Rolling Stone's list of 100 greatest artists of all time gives U2 a repertoire most can't touch.

The 360 Tour began on June 30, 2009, is supported by the band's album No Line on the Horizon and is scheduled to run through October 3, 2010. That's plenty of time to get to one of these great events scheduled for stadiums around the world. The name selection for this tour is in sync with 360 degree audience configurations around the staging. Innovatively thinking, the banded decided to stream their performance at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California over YouTube which set a new single headlined attendance record in the U.S. If this is any indication of the great success this tour will be, you'll want to get your tickets before they're all sold out!

The design of architect Mark Fisher and designer Willie Williams may be setting the standard for concerts to come by many with their 360 degree configuration. The stage is in the center of the stadium and has a large 4-legged steel structure that houses the speaker system. The video screens are suspended above the stage in a cylindrical manner. Surrounding the stage is a circular ramp that has rotating bridges connecting it to the stage. General admission tickets will give fans the opportunity to get seats on the outside of the ramp along with the inside area between the ramp and the stage, close enough to feel the sweat fly!

Because of this 360-degree centered location, there is no front or back to the stage and the fans will have seating options around all sides of the stage. This progressive thinking allows for up to 20 percent more seating capacity. With a set list that includes such hits as "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", "Breathe", "The Unforgettable Fire", "City of Blinding Lights", and "Vertigo", fans will enjoy nearly 25 songs at this jam packed musical extravaganza.

Ticket America has your U2 360 Tour on sale now. Get them before theyre all sold out! The 360 Tour promises to be one of the most sensational events this band has ever given and getting great Concert Tickets like these is a breeze with Ticket America!

In many circles, just the mention of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets gets people excited and ready for the next game.

Duke Blue Devils College Football Tickets and Seating Chart

2009-11-05T20:04:00.000-08:00

Well, if you've been keeping up with the latest scores and games that the Duke Blue Devils have been playing, you know that in Durham, number six rated Virginia Tech gave the Blue Devils a run for their money and took home a win of 34-26. Although we saw a fine indication that the Blue Devils were there to play with a lead in the first quarter, Virginia Tech pulled ahead and kept the lead to finish off at eight points ahead.

The former Iroquois Theatre was previously erected at the same location but was destroyed in a fire in 1903. For over a decade, after showing exploitation type movies, the Oriental Theatre was closed. The original architects George and Cornelius Rapp also build the Chicago Theatre. In 1990, the Oriental Theatre was restored and became known as The Ford Center for the Performing Arts Oriental Theatre.

Grant Park is another fantastic Chicago destination for getting out under the stars and enjoying a night of entertainment. The acreage is about as old as the country itself.

In 1901, it was renamed Grant Park in honor of President Ulysses S. Grant. Many court battles and legal restrictions were fought and placed but ultimately exceptions were made and the area was challenged.

Fortunately, caring advocates for keeping the area as an undeveloped one stayed at the helm of initiatives to restore and preserve the area. The result included the creation of the Art Institute of Chicago, Adler Planetarium, Field Museum of Natural History, Shedd Aquarium and most recently, redevelopment of the former Illinois Central rail yards into Millennium Park. The passage of time and circumstance has not been without major uprisings in the 60s and many civic and sports events. The Chicago Bulls have held championship celebrations and most recently the park was the designated location for the first African American President Barack Obama's victory speech on election day in 2008.

Grant Park has gained national acclaim for hosting some of the largest events in the city of Chicago. Be prepared for crowds but anticipate the time of your life should you choose to attend festivals such as the Chicago Jazz Festival, Taste of Chicago, Lollapalooza or the Chicago Blues Festival.

Jeff Teague, who is habitual of scoring big numbers at the court, surprised everyone with his jersey number selection, which was inspired from Gilbert Arenas of Washington Wizards. Teague too wants to follow the Washington guard and prove his critic wrong.

6 foot 2 inches guard Teague is a big time scorer and leads the ACC in scoring with 19.6 points per game. He is also shooting 53.6 percent, including a whopping 51.5 on 3-point tries. Teague is second in the nation in terms of steals, with 29 steals to his name, trailing behind UNC's Ty Lawson.

The Deacons haven't lost a match this season, and match up very well with UNC in the backcourt and overall game as well.

Teague had to play point guard for the Deacons because of a foot injury to Smith. He played at point guard for Pike High in Indianapolis. But where ever he is, he remains in the spot light.

Teague is one of the best guards in the nation. Teague is athletic, fast and has an explosive game. He has already dropped 31 points on UNC-Wilmington this season and 30 in Wake's road win at BYU.

Teague has improved manifolds from the last season; he has added a lot of skills and some weight too.

And this season he is up to 184 pounds, more strong and scoring 19.6 points per game.

Teague has always been very competitive and doesn't take defeat too well, no matter how small the margin is. Being sporty and competitive is something that he inherits from his father Shawn Teague, who was a college ball player at Boston University and Missouri. Marcus, Younger brother of Jeff, is a sophomore and a standout ore guard at Pike High.

Wake recruiters spotted Teague's talent early and included him in their program. Teague too preferred Wake's program over that of Kansas and Indiana.

If he keeps scoring with the same average, even with a zero at his back, then we might see more players wanting to have a zero behind their back as well.

The Cavaliers will now be looking forward to their much more difficult ACC match against their southern neighbors which also happens to be a road game. Considering the performance that the Cavs put up against the Bears, and the form achieved by Gruber and Scott, they will be able to pull that game off too.

Virginia Cavaliers outplayed a more methodical Bears in an entertaining game. The star of the show was Steve Gruber and his 50 feet 3- pointer.

Michigan Wolverines tickets - Overcoming Crucial Tests along the Way

2009-02-17T23:02:00.000-08:00

10 years have passed and Michigan men's basketball team, have never made it to the NCAA Tournament.

This season is not the same for the Wolverines, their coach, John Beilein have figured out a formula for the same, win some games in the non-conference season, win some matches against the top-five opponents.

Stay intact at home court against the Big Ten, register a win against the rivals Illinois team on a not so packed home court, win on the road conference games.

Most of the variables of the above formula have fallen in place, except winning on road conference games.

Wolverines have a very hectic schedule lined up ahead of them. They are scheduled to play at Illinois, Ohio State, Purdue, Indiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota. All the games are very crucial and all the teams except Indiana are competitive. The Indiana Hoosiers are a relatively new team, struggling with form and lack depth.

It is not only the schedule which is taxing; it is the lack of on road experience that might worry the Wolverines. That is why the match against the IU is very crucial; if they manage to clinch a victory then it would be a big booster for the Wolverines.

Wolverines would want to put their dismal performance of 10-22 of last season behind them and for that they would be looking to register wins against their rival Big Tens. Considering the performance of Indiana lately, the win against them will not affect the decision of the selection committee but will do loads of good to the morale of the Wolverines, because they haven't won even a single game at Indiana since 1955. It will also set the ball rolling and develop a momentum which will help them when they confront the cream of the Big Ten.

The only true road game that Wolverines have played this season is against Maryland, which they lost. Michigan (1-1 Big Ten, 11-3 overall) played six games away from home, last year, out of these they lost to Harvard and Duke.

Wolverine players seem to be more confident this time around, freshman Zack Novak, is one such promising talent and is soaring in confidence with every passing game. Though Novak is yet to start an on road game, he is a fearless shooter and is quick on his feet. Other Wolverines stars like Manny Harris and DeShawn Sims also seem to be more prepared than ever and if the trio works in tandem, then they will wreck havoc on the court.

With a talented team and a good overall performance, Coach John Beilein can expect that his formula will work wonders for the Wolverines and get them to the NCAA tournament after 10 long years.

Miami Hurricanes tickets - Coach Haith Strategy to Divide and Conquer

2009-02-17T23:01:00.000-08:00

Boston College is a formidable team and Miami coach Frank Haith surely knows that. That is why he is all prepared with his strategy to knock down Miami's next opponent, Boston College.

Boston has come off age, it was a young but a good team last season. This season when both the teams met, Boston was 3-1 in the league, and was in a commanding position but as the year progressed, they were not able to maintain the momentum and started getting bogged down. Boston let tight games slip out of their hands.

Present day Boston is a talented team and enjoys an effective leadership of Tyrese. They have recently won a crucial game against UNC, where they showed that BC is a tough and driven team. They simply kept their focus on the ball and didn't let it slip from their hands.

Miami on the other hand is 11-3 into the season but still not in the top 30 teams, but that doesn't take the credit away from the recent performances of the team. They defeated St. John's convincingly, and soon after defeated a top ten team Notre Dame. Another big team Miami defeated this season was Kentucky, after which Kentucky won nine straight games until they lost to Louisville.

The Hurricanes will have to stretch themselves this year to get into the NCAA Tournament, because the group is tougher this time around. But if they manage to prevent any big losses then they might just sneak in if they manage 8 wins. But they would not want to take any chances and extend it to nine, 10, or 11 winning games.

Miami would not want to get a bad start like they did last season when they started with 1-3. They would love to defeat Boston College and keep Rice down. Haith surely knows the potential of Rice, who last year scored 18 points in the first half itself.

Haith has studied Rice's game closely, he knows that he has a great control and is quick too. He knows that he cant give away any space to him, and will have his team to force Rice to play a little defensive.

Another threat to Haith and his coach will be Rakim Sanders. Sanders can do it inside and out and is a big guard. Haith also knows that the two perimeter guys are a tough nut to crack. On one end is Corey who gets offensive rebounds and transition buckets and on the other end is Rakim.

Ever since Haith has joined the program at the University of Miami, they haven't won a game against Boston College, but this time he is all set to change that.
He and his team will try something different from the previous occasions, changes on and off court, like changing hotels, the flights, just about everything to nail down Boston College.

Indiana Hoosiers tickets - the Night Crean almost Flipped Out

2009-02-17T23:00:00.000-08:00

Indiana Hoosiers lost yet another match, this time to Michigan. Coach Tom Crean was utterly dejected by the team's performance. IU started the match on a high note, but then let it slip away.

Tom Crean took a tough call when he decided to take up the Indiana University basketball job. The team was a bunch of youngsters trying to make a mark for themselves and the team itself was under the scanner of NCAA.

He was prepared for that, but not for seeing his team dominate the game against Michigan, it appeared as if seven Indiana players were attacking three players of Michigan. It looked as if the young Indiana team matured overnight to set themselves up for their first Big Ten win.

But soon, Indiana players were seen dejected on the field and Crean shaking hands with the Michigan players and its coaches. They lost yet again and Crean disappeared off the court, with a dejected head on his shoulder.

Michigan won 72-66 in overtime.

He was dejected. And why shouldn't he be? Indiana Hoosiers have had a dejected season and when in to the game with a dismal record of 5-8 and a four-game losing streak, including the defeat against Lipscomb, a game where they were in the lead by 21 points.

Hoosiers made an impressive start and dominated the game for nearly 22 minutes. Verdell Jones III, Nick Williams and Devan Dumes were all over the court, making moves and shots which gave the Hoosiers the guard play they lacked in their previous matches which they lost. They were well supported by a shaky start by Michigan, who missed 16 of its first 19 three-point shots.

At one stage of the game, the Hoosiers were in the lead, 44-24 with 18:26 minutes to spare.

After the defeat IU is back at ground zero and nothing is taken for granted. All the teams in the Big Ten are waiting for their chance to take on the Hoosiers. Crean will have to wait for his next recruited batch to arrive.

IU conceded some crucial points and helped Michigan to equalize with the IU at 56-56 and with the three pointer by Manny Harris with 43.8 seconds to play.

With 23.4 seconds to spare, Dumes lost the ball on a misguided attempt to score on a two-on-one fast break, Michigan made the kill with the help of a three by Laval Lucas-Perry.

The match ran in to over time, and the performance further deteriorated, Michigan started off with a three pointer and didn't allow IU to lead. After much struggle, the Hoosiers netted 6 of 9.

Till the boys at the Hoosiers mature and some promising recruits turn up for the Indiana University program, the problems won't ease for Crean.

Illinois Fighting Illini tickets - Harper, the Man of the Honors

2009-02-16T06:55:00.000-08:00

Harper and his team mates of the memorable team of 84 will be honored at the Assembly Hall. Harper will be the man of honors, his jersey will be hung above the Illinois Basketball court.

Over 25 years back, Derek Harper, a second-team All-America guard preferred the NBA draft over his senior year at Illinois, but he left behind a team which won a share of the Big Ten Conference title in 1984 and reached the NCAA tournament's Elite Eight.

It will be homecoming for Harper and his 25 year old Illini team when Illinois plays host to Indiana. Illinois which is leading the season at 13-2 overall and is 1-1 in the Big Ten will play Indiana, which doesn't have a boastful record of 5-9 overall and 0-2 in the Big Ten.

Ever since Lou Henson has retired, Harper and Efrem Winters, the star forward on the 1984 team, haven't visited the campus. Lou Henson retired as the Illini coach in 1996. Lou, too will be attending the ceremony at the Assembly hall.

The team of '84 turned the Assembly Hall an electrifying place, with its game. Before Harper, Winters and other luminaries of the memorable team, the Illini had advanced to the NCAAs twice in 40 years, but after the arrival of Harper, Winters and other players, things turned around and Illinois has appeared in the tournament 21 times, since then.

Harper who was picked by the Dallas Mavericks, will be honored, his jersey will be hung above the Illinois court, the same place where the team is reuniting after 25-years. Illini had a fabulous record of 26-5 overall and 13-3 in the Big Ten, in 1984. They lost to host Kentucky in the NCAA regional final after tying Purdue for the Big Ten title.

Harper was very athletic and equally talented. The Illini team had everything that a coach could dream of, they were talented, they were physically formidable and had the ability to score.

Doug Altenberger, Tony Wysinger, Bruce Douglas and Anthony Welch will be accompanying their former team mates Harper and Winters at the function along with their assistant coach Dick Nagy.

The Illini team which reached the Final Four in 1949 will be represented by Van Anderson, Ted Beach and Dick Foley.

With such luminaries attending the match, the pressure will be on the current team to perform. The current team leads on assists percentage, with 72.5 percent. They also rank second in assists per game in the NCAA with 20.1 trailing North Carolina 20.2. It also ranks sixth in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio of plus-1.5.

Illinois leads the Big Ten in field goal percentage, shooting 48.1 percent, and ranks 25th nationally. The Illini also are second in the conference in scoring margin at plus-13.1 points per game.

North Carolina Tar Heels tickets - Bouncing Back

2009-02-16T06:54:00.001-08:00

North Carolina Tar Heels, pulverized Charleston Cougars 108-70; bouncing back from the defeat against Boston College. They also became the only opponent since 1977 to score more than 100 points against the Cougars.

After losing their No. 1 ranking and their undefeated streak, as well, North Carolina bounced back and defeated College of Charleston, 108-70, at the Smith Center.

Tar Heels made a shaky start and weren't able to stop the aggressive Cougars. With Marcus Ginyard, one of their best stoppers on the bench, North Carolina's defense wasn't up to the mark and the Cougars managed to register a shooting percentage of 46.9 in the first half.

It was the shooting from the Tar Heels which did it for them. They shot much better from the field than their counterparts through out the game and registered a shooting percentage of 58.6. The Tar Heels also converted their free throw lines, 19-for-22. The Tar Heels are the only team who managed to score more than 100 points against the Cougars in 951 games since 1977.

The Tar Heels were much more aggressive than their previous game against Boston College which they lost. The team managed to put the disappointment behind their back and played a very aggressive game against the Cougars. Tar Heels forward Tyler Hansbrough led the team with scoring 24 points.

It wasn't exactly a Tar Heels game through out, the lead over the Cougars wasn't much for most of the time in the first half. Charleston kept the deficit well within their reach by scoring eight 3-pointers.

But the Tar Heels made 59.5 percent of their shots in the first half managed to pull away with an 8-2 run, which included a layup by Ty Lawson to a extend their half time lead to 53-41.

The second half was a blood bath, the Tar Heels started with an 11-0 run which was just too much for the Cougars (10-3).

With 3 minutes and 51 seconds to go, reserve point guard Larry Drew II's scored with a layup and extended the Tar Heels lead to 40 points, the score board also ticked to the 100 mark for the first time in 951 games the Cougars have played since 1977.

The biggest positive for the Tar Heels is that they bounced back from a loss and defeated the Cougars without Ginyard. Ginyard played in the last three games but is still slower than he used to be, he is not yet 100 percent fit.

The win against the Cougars lifted the morale of the team, and when Ginyard gets 100 percent fit, the Tar Heels surely can reclaim their lost No. 1 ranking.

So far this season the Tar Heels have only lost twice to two conference opponents.

North Carolina State Wolfpack tickets - the Danger of Declaring Victory too Soon

2009-02-16T06:52:00.001-08:00

North Carolina State wasted their first half lead and lost yet another match in the waning moments, this time to the Gators, 68-66, who won their 6th match in a row.

North Carolina State Wolfpack thought they won the game, but Nick Calathes thought otherwise. Calathes scored 24 of his 32 points in the second half, to overcome a 10 point lead of the Wolfpack and led Florida to a stunning 68-66 victory. Calathes scored final 12 points of his team.

Florida Gators won the match because of their style and attitude. They kept the court and the game some what chaotic in the second half. They forced 12 second half turnovers from the Wolfpack.

It was the sixth match, in a row, won by the Gators. Florida is leading 12-2. Wolfpack on the other hand paid the price of declaring an early victory and losing the grip over the Gators. Though the Wolfpack still have a lead of 9-3.

After a dismal first half performance by the Gators, where they lagged 0-6, the credit for the turn around goes to Calathes. By his aggressiveness and good decisions he managed to register 32 points. Dan Werner also chipped in, scoring 10 points. With 3 minutes and 59 seconds remaining, Calathes hit a 25-foot 3-pointer and brought Florida on top, giving them a 59-58 lead.

But that was not the end of the game; the lead kept swinging either ways. The lead changed nine times before the game ended, but the Gators emerged victorious with a narrow margin of two points.

By the 15-minute mark of the second half, Lowe had seen enough of his senior and fourth-year junior, he turned to Mays, Thomas and Williams - three freshmen. If you're going to lose, don't let one losing season turn into two. Lowe has every right to attempt to develop the talent for next season.

"Those are the guys we're going to have count on now and down the road," Lowe said.

The problem with that is there's still 14 games left on the ACC schedule. Either Lowe is going to have stick with the trio of freshmen, plus Fells and any other combination, excluding Javi Gonzalez who predictably had one of the worst 3-minute stretches in ACC history against FSU's Toney Douglas, and make a concerted effort to develop the talent for next season.

The Wolfpack were in complete command during the first half, they shot nearly 54 percent from the floor. The Wolfpack defense was top notch and forced the Gators to earn every point, but like many games they lost this season, they were not able to handle the pressure very well and lost the match in its dying moments.

Brandon Costner top scored for the Wolfpack with 24 points, and was well supported by Farnold Degand who scored 10 points.

Florida State Seminoles tickets - Composure goes a long way

2009-02-13T23:16:00.000-08:00

Florida State Seminoles will go a long way. The FSU might have had some dry runs, struggling to score or even take possessions, throughout this season, but if they keep their cool they will surely be able to over ride the impregnable defense of the Dukes.

FSU are younger and will have to play with a lot of patience and maintain their composure, if they have to upset the Dukes. If they don't respond well to the challenge thrown to them, by the stronger Dukes, then a 10-2 Duke run will climb to a 23-2 Duke run.

The Dukes have created havoc on the court, this year. They not only defeated their opponents but left them with nothing at all. The Blue Devils don't only defeat their opponents, they demoralize them and leave them panting on the court.

The Blue Devils, pulverized Virginia Tech with a stunning margin of 30-9 and against Xavier, currently ranked 16 in the country, they extended their 20-3 lead to 31 points just by the half time. With the runs of 19-0 (against Presbyterian), 15-0 (Georgia Southern), 11-0 (Rhode Island), 30-9 (Montana), 23-6 (Duquesne), 27-8 (UNC-Asheville) and 30-12 (Loyola-Maryland), the Devils have emerged as a brute force this season.

The biggest strength of the Devils is their runs; they just don't let the opponents score. They can keep doing that throughout the game and against most of the teams.

But the Seminoles have their advantages as well. The biggest one is playing the Devils at home, instead at Duke. The Seminoles just have to be composed against the game changing Duke runs and keep taking good shots every now and then. FSU need to remain unfazed by the game the Devils play and play the game at their strength, sticking to the strategies that get them shots.

The Devils do get the opposition frustrated by the very nature of the game they play, but still they are not impossible to take shots at. Mature and patient teams succeed in doing so. Like the time both the teams played each other at Tallahassee, where Dukes scored 16 straight points in the first half to take a lead of 17 points, but then Seminoles slowly narrowed the lead and finally surpassed it to lead the game 55-54, but weren't able to maintain the lead and lost in the last 3:45 minutes.

They lost their nerves back then; otherwise they could have defeated the Devils. So it is all about keeping a cool head and not letting the Devils dictate the terms, they will try hard no doubt about it, but with a support from the home crowd, perfect execution of strategies and being composed the FSU can pull off an upset against the Dukes.

Duke Blue Devils tickets - Ready for Curry!

2009-02-13T23:15:00.000-08:00

Duke Blue Devils have made special preparations for Stephen Curry, and it isn't just limited to the defense. The crowd will be at its rowdy best. Curry will surely be thinking about that.

Stephen Curry is the leading scorer in the nation and has pull off some exquisite performances; Davidson's NCAA tournament run last season, was one such performance which shot him to fame and the one at Madison Square Garden which proved that the Wildcats (10-2) are big time players was another.

It won't be easy, even for a player of the magnitude of Curry to walk out of the court smiling. The Blue Devils have put on two big winning streaks inside a rowdy and a boisterous building which has a seating capacity of over 9000.

The record shows that the Blue Devils should not worry much about Curry, either. The Blue Devils have a record of 12-1 and are yet to lose a non conference home game in nearly nine full years. The last match they lost at Cameron was in '81 and that too to instate and a non ACC team, the Davidson.

The Devils will be under pressure of not losing a game at their home court. They would like to repeat what they did to Curry two seasons ago, when they defeated Davidson, 75-47.

But that was a game when Curry wasn't the Curry we know today. It was before the last season's NCAA tournament where he led the 10th-seeded Davidson to a spot in the final four.

Curry is the best guard in the country and is a sensational player. He takes shots when ever his team needs and when he does, more often than not, they go in. At present he is not showing any signs of slowing down.

He continues to lead Division I in scoring, even though he had to change his position to point guard and has also been under a lot of pressure from the opposing teams and his fans. Unfazed by all this, he still averages 29.2-points per game.

At Madison Square Garden, Curry delivered when his team needed him the most. The crowd was awestruck and Curry became a phenomenon, each of his 27 shots at the Jimmy V Classic, were ooh-ed by the crowd. He missed 12 of his first 13 3-pointers, but after that he scored 13 of Davidson's final 15 points in a 68-65 victory over West Virginia.
The Dukes have a formidable defense; they are stronger and conceded only 13 points to Virginia Tech in the second half, in their last game and defeated them, 69-44.

Curry will be getting a lot of focus from the Duke defenders. The strong defense will force him to take tough shots and make life difficult for him at the court.

Curry takes most of the shots when he is left free or ignored by the opposition, but the Dukes are prepared and won't let him get out of their sight.

Clemson Tigers tickets - Men this is NOT the Time to Panic!

2009-02-13T23:10:00.000-08:00

Clemson Tigers are on a high! And why shouldn't they be. The Tigers haven't lost a match in the 14 games they have played at home, this season and are at 12th spot according to a ranking by Associated Press. The Clemenson Tigers is one of the four teams in the first division, yet to lose a match.

Clemson coach, Oliver Prunell is riding with the success of his team, which can be the best basketball team since 89-90 era, if they defeat Alabama. If the Tigers defeat Alabama then they will have 15 straight wins at their home court, a feat which was previously achieved in ‘89-‘90.

Tigers came from the back in two of the three games it played. But instead of panicking the team responded well to the strategies and the adjustments made by Prunell after the time outs. Against Miami, the Tigers had a poor start and were lagging 21-9, in the initial periods of the game, but after the time out, it was no stopping back for them and they went on a 15-0 run and took the lead which they never lost till the very end and won the match 91-72 victory. South Carolina's early jubilation also lasted when the Tigers overcame the 14 point lead and winning the match 98-87. Clemson also conceded an early lead against Temple, Charlotte, Illinois, Liberty and East Carolina but ended up winning the game.

Prunell changed the strategy for the Tigers against Miami forcing them to the rim, which lead post players Trevor Booker, Raymond Sykes and Jerai Grant to control the game and attacked Miami with the press more. This lead the Tigers to have a season high of 22 turnovers out of which 16 came in the first half itself.

After conceding an early lead in the game against South Carolina, the Tigers made a comeback. Strategies made were perfectly executed and the team adjusted and passed more to Booker, plus they went from a full-court pressure defense to a quarter-trapping defense.

But now the Tigers have a tough challenge in the form of Alabama, which is playing as well as anyone in the country. The Crimson Tide are leading 10-3, and have won five straight games and defeated Georgia Tech in the last game with a score of 88-77. The Clemson Tigers will have to raise the level of their game and play really hard to continue their winning streak.

Alabama Crimson Tide is relying heavily on its guard Ronald Steele with 13.7 points per game, guard Sergio Hillman with 13.7 points per game and forward Alonzo Gee with 14.7 points per game. Alonzo leads the team in rebounds and steals.

Alonzo is big, has long arms and is very athletic. Prunell will have to make a game plan to check this Tide forward. The Tigers need to be well aware of his position on the court; he is great in running off and stealing the ball.

But the Tigers need not panic at such a crucial game; they are well equipped to ride over the Tide. If Prunell comes up with a strategy to defend Gee, then it is very likely that the Tigers will stick to it and pull off the game.

And that is exactly what the Tigers need to do to get themselves registered in the annals of the Clemson as the best team since 1989.

Boston College Eagles Tickets - Soaring Past Crimson

2009-02-06T23:42:00.000-08:00

North Carolina was stunned. The Eagles left them speechless.

Boston College Eagles, defeated North Carolina, 85-78, and most likely ended their run as the No.1 college basketball team and wiping away the hopes of North Carolina going unbeaten. North Carolina enjoyed a lead of around 26 points in its first 13 matches. The Eagles completely outplayed them.

It was Thye Tyrese Rice, playing in his second straight big game, who did the damage and top scored with 25 points. It was a very dedicated and a focused effort from the Eagles which proved their mettle as big time players. The Eagles are currently on a 10 game winning streak and are 13-2 overall. The eagles also are yet to be beaten in their home; they have a perfect 10-0 score at their own court.

With a memorable win behind them, the Eagles will be a formidable force on the court against the Harvard Crimson. The two sides will be facing each other in a non-conference clash. The Crimson have improved on their points to 7-6 as a result of winning three of its last four games.

Harvard which will be starting its Ivy League campaign against Dartmouth, defeated Santa Clara, 73-68 and the Eagles will be its last opponent for the non-conference this season.

With just two losses this season, against Purdue and Saint Louis, and that too with a narrow margin, the Eagles will enter the court as favorites. Boston College owns a commanding 32-9 series lead over Harvard. The last clash between the two took place in 2005.

The Crimson is not expected to give sleepless nights to the Eagles or its coach but its recent form against Santa Clara will surely spread worries in the Eagles camp. Out of the five starting players, four scored in double figures with Jeremy Lin, with an average of over 17 points per game this season and highest number of steals and assists in the team, again outshone others with his top score of 17 points, nine assists against only one turnover and five rebounds. He also recorded three steals. Drew Housman scored 16 points for the Crimson, and Doug Miller posted 15. Peter Boehm also chipped in with his 13 points. Harvard committed just six turnovers and earned a 17-10 edge in points from the foul line.

The Crimson will have a serious challenge in the form of Tyrese Rice, the best player of Boston College roster. Rice is scoring over 17 points per game along with 91 assists, this season. He is also the reigning ACC Player of the Week. Joe Trapani is another player to look out for, with over 13.7 points per game and over 6 rebounds per game. Corey Raji with over 12 points per game and Rakim Sanders with around 12 points per game will stretch the Crimson.

With the Eagles scoring around 78 points per game we can expect a high scoring and an exciting match, but the Harvard team will have to deliver a performance like they did against Santa Clara to limit the Eagles and improve on their record against them.

Washington Huskies tickets - Can Sarkisian Bring a New Vibe to the Team?

2009-02-06T23:32:00.000-08:00

One individual can often bring about a change in fortunes of a team – If this statement had to come true, then Washington Huskies definitely stand to gain a lot!

Here is a team that often in the last few games shown how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Looking at the kind of talent Washington Huskies possess, it really is surprising to see them languishing at any spot below the number 1 position. Huskies’ supporters blame this on a defeatist attitude built up in the players of Huskies.

If that really is the case, consider a lot of talent wasted by the roadside. But with Sarkisian at the helm of the affairs, things could pan out differently for the Washington Huskies. For a change, Sarkisian himself is a man of no mincing words. From the day he arrives at the Huskies, he would make no bones of the fact that he would like to win at all costs. Maybe, this could be the impetus Huskies need.

Huskies for one, cannot boast of missing one thing – Quality players. They have this through all the ranks. They have good quality offensive line players. They have quality running backs. They also have good quality receivers and defense line. Put all of them together, and be surprised that this team has lost so many matches. In essence, this could really be the rarest of rare cases when a team has all the fundamentals in place, yet is not able to deliver the goods consistently.

Yes, there is an odd victory here and there, but considering the quality of players Huskies have, this should be a frequent occasion, not an aberration. People who have been closely following the performance of Washington Huskies term this as individual complacence. People believe that players in the Huskies believe a lot in them but do not believe as a team. Statistically, the percentage of individual runs in Huskies’ games is uncomfortably high. It could yet work out against a couple of teams, but in the long run, may prove dangerous.

Sarkisian for a change though has a problem, which if he wants, can be solved within a matter of days. For starters, he would have to get the team believing as a unit. He must make them think that winning matches is possibly more important than winning a few points here and there. Knowing Sarkisian and his background, this may not be a tough task. Or does it seem so?

You could wake up a person who is sleeping but try waking a person who is pretending to sleep? Given this statement, some hard decisions may be taken by Sarkisian. He has to take them in the best interests of the team, and there are no two ways about it. All said and done, it is for the world to see if Sarkisian can bring about change in fortunes of the Huskies. Well, looking at how Sarkisian manages things, this seems to be a reality!

USC Trojans tickets - Showing UCLA How's Boss

2009-02-06T23:31:00.000-08:00

Who is the Boss here? – Seemed the statement of USC players after the drubbing of UCLA. In Pasadena, the USC Trojans absolutely demolished UCLA Bruins and their claims of matching USC.

What turned out during the course of the match was an absolute anti-climax? It seemed as if there was only one team playing the game, and the other was made to do all the running. At least this seemed to be the pattern of play after the USC Trojans were a touch nervous at the start. Maybe playing in front of their home crowd got to them!

Or maybe, the Trojans were thinking of the beating they received from UCLA a couple of years back. Whatever be the reasons, the Trojans found their bearings quickly after they were jolted by an early Bruins’ touchdown. What followed later was absolute carnage! Defensive tackle Fili Meola puts things in right perspective, “Maybe for the first few exchanges, the Bruins were on top. But once we had the ball, we felt the score should be reading 100 something.”

Trojans fell back on their tried and tested combination of having a strong defense. Traditionally, the USC were known to be teams with some exceptional defensemen and after the Bruins touchdown, they knuckled up big time. The offensive lines could move up freely without worrying about what would happen to their citadel. Once the USC offensive line scored their first touchdown, they knew that it would be a matter of time before they take a big lead.

And it happened so. In the next half an hour, the offensive line of the USC ran UCLA defense ragged. Quarterback Sanchez was at the center of things all this while, and played right until the fag end of the game. In fact, he was replaced with just a few minutes to go before the final whistle. Being a quarterback, he did receive his fair share of thumps and hits, but all that for a later date.

For today though, the USC Trojans could be proud of the way they played. For a lot of people, their game was so Trojan-like. You would never feel with them playing that they would get flamboyant. With their rugged determination, USC broke UCLA Bruins down bit by bit finally culminating into a score line of 28-7.

Coming to think of it, this would certainly not be rated as one of the best NFL Games. But for the Trojans, they would rate it simply the best. Two reasons are given – 1) They were able to beat an opponent who beat them couple of years back, and 2) They could overcome the physical game of the UCLA Bruins.

Coming back from a 0-7 lag and beating a team 28-7 is no mean achievement. The USC did this and in process, showed to the UCLA Bruins, who is the boss out here? And in the game itself, each USC player played as if he was the boss indeed.
