I attended some games of the 2002 Volleyball World Cup in Argentina.

I saw a game of the 2004 South American Champions' Cup (soccer): Independiente (ARG) vs Nacional (URU), that is a truly soccer derby.

Well... I usually am not using to watch games in stadiums.

1984 AFL Grand Final.

Reduced crowd, only 95,000 that day.

Essendon came from 4 goals down at 3/4 time, to win their first premiership in 19 years.

2000 AFL Grand Final.

Essendon smash Melbourne by 60 to go through the season with only one loss, the best record of any team ever.

2000 Olympics.

Athletics is not really an interest of mine, and we went and saw some because they were in our country. Mostly, I don't think I'd miss it if I hadn't gone. But I guess others rate it, so yes, I was there. The Stadium was very nice.

Oh, and I've got a site.

2003 ALCS Game 7 Yankees Red Sox...Me and my buddy Phil went, we had to sit in two entirely different sections of different sides of the stadium.

Any Army - Navy Game... The March of the Cadets and Midshipmen is a sight to behold espically live. You feel that these two sides have a greater purpose than football.

New York Islanders 2002 Playoff game v.s Toronto... 7 years 364 days of frustration from Islanders fans was bottled into 1 fantastic night.. the 6-1 score was as if Bossy, Trottier and Gillies were out there again.. I couldnt talk for almost a week after this series.

I wanted to add one more thing:

The 5 days I spent in Canada this past September with my buddies going to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto than taking the 401 to Montreal for the USA/Canada Slovakia/Canada is memories that I wont forget. I'm an American, but to see how much passion Canadians have for the game of Hockey. I'm envious. But the funny stories, and the crazy antics of the games and things my buddies and I did. well, that was a great moment as well.

For me it would probably be Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals - Chicago Bulls @ Utah Jazz and watching Michael Jordan nail his last shot..........well it was supposed to be his last shot. It's still as clear in my mind as when it happened.........Jordan hoisting up the trophy! Nothing could make me more sick!

1995 Stanley Cup Finals. Game 4.

I had tickets for the whole Eastern Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Finals, but obviously Game 4 of the Cup Finals stands out above all others. I was 13, and having been a Devils fan since before i literally could remember, i couldn't believe my little team, a team made fun of by Wayne Gretzky, a team called the Skating Christmas Trees, MY team was on the brink of winning the greatest championship in all of sport. It was such a special time, and i will forever remember it. Not to mention the next morning i got to hold, hug, kiss, caress, and drink from the Cup, it was an experiance of a lifetime. Simply amazing.

I was at the first Final Four in Minneapolis. It was '92, I think.

Anyway, my dad and I had nosebleed seats in the Metrodome for both Final Four games, and the championship game where Duke mauled the Michigan's Fab 5 freshmen. It was Christian Laettner's last college game and the first of two championship game failures for Chris Webb and co.

are you sure thats all you did to it? :P

Seriously though, how did you manage that?

It was at the Big Apple sports bar in Bayonne (my former hometown)

My brother was in there ordering and picking up some catering crap for a party he and his girlfriend were having, he saw it, called my mom, she woke us up, within two minuets my whole family was out the door, down to the bar, and the rest it history.. i think i have a few pics, i'll post 'em

October 1st 2004-Safeco Field. I was working at the game when Ichiro tied then broke the single season hits record. The cameras flashing, the crowd cheering, The fireworks going off, it was will always be very special in my heart. The Brightest moment in a very dark season, although that entire weekend was magical with the sellouts and Edgar Martinez saying good bye.

Well I was in Seattle, but not at the game...

Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."
