We have attended each of the ESPN weekends and we love it. DH and I are both sports nuts. A must do for this type of person!

Miss Jasmine - we are going specifically for ESPN this year, can you tell me a little more about it? I mean I hace read the AE description but it is all day at MGM? Does ESPN the restaurant do anything special? I read Dr. J and Brian Urlacher will be there - any other sports stars?

 

[perdidobay]

yes please, more info.. myquestion is, do all the activities take place every day... we will only get to go on Sunday, will there be most of the events on the last day too? TIA

There are the same number of events each day, and it lasts all day. The list of the athletes attending will come out closer to the weekend. I don't remember any special meals.

There are interviews with athletes, live shows, all kinds of different things. You will get the schedule when you walk in the park. I can't even remember who all we got to see. Usually all sports are covered including olympic athletes. And go to WWTBAM-PI. We had a great time watching Stuart Scott and Dan Patrick play. It was a hoot.

Some interviews take place under the big hat. Others are held in different theaters.

Miss Jasmine-
We will also be there for ESPN the Weekend. Do you remember any of the athletes that you saw in past years? I was curious if they were "big" name athletes or just random athletes. Thanks for any info
