Palm Beach Polo & Country Club
One of the world's most renowned polo grounds, actually located in nearby Wellington, this is where to find the blue-blazer-and khaki-wearing Palm Beach caricatures of your dreams. You're also bound to spot some celebrities in the mix of box seats (there are enough for 3000 spectators), either watching the games or simply schmoozing in a sporty atmosphere.
Catch tournaments between January and April, including the Generosity Polo Match in March, plus the National Horse Show and other equestrian events on nearby show fields.

Newcastle United Football Club
Newcastle United Football Club is more than just a football team: it is the collective expression of Geordie hope and pride as well as the release for decades of economic, social and sporting frustration. Its fabulous ground, St James' Park (box office 261 1571) is always packed. Match tickets go on public sale about two weeks before a game or you can try the stadium on the day, but there's no chance for big matches, such as those against arch-rivals Sunderland.

Lucha Libre
Not sure how to kick off your Friday night? Treat yourself to the spectacle of Lucha Libre at the Auditorio Municipal Fausto Gutierrez Moreno, Tijuana's municipal auditorium. See two oversized masked men with names like 'The Mystic One', 'Blue Panther' and 'Heavy Metal' throw each other about a boxing ring in a theatrical display of freeform wrestling. There's nothing quite like it. Matches are held every Friday night. Rates depend on the match.

St Paul Curling Club
Stop in and watch the action just across the Mississippi at the St Paul Curling Club. For those uninitiated in northern ways, curling is a winter sport that involves sliding a hubcab-sized 'puck' down the ice toward a bulls-eye. While you might not understand it at first, it's fun to see the 'pitcher' scream at the frantic ice brushers.

Chelsea Football Club
There's something corporate and bland about the home of London's richest football club, Chelsea, but supporters after souvenir kit or a tour won't care. They'll be even more over the moon if they snaffle a rare available ticket to a match. There are two interlinked hotels in the building.
