Two NLCS games in 1985, including Ozzie Smith's "Go Crazy" game.
The Fifth Down Game, 1990 -- just happened to be in Columbia visiting family and we went on a whim.
Odd-ball game: Wrigley for Opening Day, 1994 - Hillary Clinton threw out the first pitch and Tuffy Rhodes hit THREE homers off Doc Gooden.

Worked:
1998, 2000, 2006, 2010 NFC Championship Games. Some Frozen Four (I still love college hockey). 1998, 1999 Rose Bowls. The Antonio Freeman Catch - 2000. Lots of Favre drama.

 

I love being at a game where a championship is won. I’ve only been around a couple times, but people are playing, playing, playing ... and then everyone is storming out of the dugout/benches. In 2003, Wrigley Field got dead silent for about two seconds, then you both saw and heard the entire Marlins dugout come sprinting onto the field.

The Frozen Four is great because one second players are battling to the end and the next shit is getting thrown everywhere.

 

We had season tix for the Showtime Lakers and I was at the clinching games in '87 and '88. Those were the days.

 

I was at the Nyjer-Morgan-spikes-his-glove-and-pouts-while-Adam-Jones-circles-the-bases game.

Does that count?

 

Worst event I ever attended dept.: 1996 Miami Open final (then called one of its half-dozen other names)

Goran Ivanisevic sleeps in an awkward position the night before and injures his neck. Comes out for warmups hitting like, well, me. Andre Agassi goes up 3-0. Ivanisevic looks like he's not even trying. Then he tells the umpire, no more.

That's it, folks. See you next year.

 

The Frozen Four is by far the best college sports event. Only the first two days of the basketball tournament come close to it.

 

Game 7 of the Diamondbacks-Yankees World Series ... Still can't believe the Dbacks got to Rivera like that.

 

Haven't been to many nationally memorable games, but a few great and not so great New England games.
-Brady's first game back in 2009 when the Bills fumbled away the kickoff return, setting up a Ben Watson game-winner.
-The 2012 49ers-Patriots shootout where NE scored 24 in the fourth quarter and nearly came back, losing 41-34.
-The 2012 AFC Championship where the Ravens beat the hell out of New England. Not fun.
-The Broncos-Patriots game when Belichick took the wind in 2013. It was single digits the entire game. Never been that cold at a game in my life so obviously it was a perfect time to go shirtless in the fourth quarter (long story). Remember Moreno gashing the Pats D, Manning throwing ducks all night and the reaction of the crowd when Denver botched the punt return in OT.

 

Rhody, I forgot one Pats game I was at that deserves mention, the Mark Henderson snowplow game.

 

I KNEW THIS WAS YOU!

 

No Outing!
