Tim Tebow and Minnie Mouse at ESPN The Weekend

Everyone from ex-Florida Gators star Tim Tebow to NFL superstar Chad Ochocinco to soccer legend Mia Hamm participated in the event that featured live ESPN shows, sports-themed motorcades and lots of opportunities for fans to interact with their favorite sports heroes and ESPN on-air personalities such as Dick Vitale and Sage Steele.

Some Fans Rode the Rock ‘n Roller Coaster with Mia Hamm

A group of lucky fans got to ride Rock ‘n Roller Coaster with Hamm. Some other young fans got to play a fun game of football ex-Gators coach Urban Meyer and Tebow. Judging from the looks of things, it was sports dream come true for the thousands of fans who attended the three-day event.

  • OH MY GOSH, IT’S NOMAR!!!!!!!!

    Sorry, I’ve been a Red Sox fan since birth!

  • Mia Hamm looks great, but why no mention of her famous husband? Nomar Garciaparra was a very beloved MLB player for years. He is more of a sports legend to many sports fans than she is. So happy to see Nomar looking excellent as well!!!

  • Ummm…I don’t think that is Sage Steele with Dickie V. You might want to check the bio pic, but I think she is a she. The Schwab doesn’t really qualify for that.

  • We were there and it was AWESOME!! Very cool to be walking along and have an ESPN person (and entourage) just pop out of the side of a building! We also were lucky enough to ride the Rock n’ Roller Coaster with a couple Harlem Globetrotters! Great day!!
