Greatest sporting event you ever attended? - Page 2

1989 NCAA Hockey finals Harvard v. Minnesota. Got to see my team in a national championship game even though they lost 4-3 in overtime. Was very happy 13 & 14 years later when they finally won.

2003 Badgers v. Buckeyes at Camp Randall. Buckeyes were #3 ranked defending national champions. Stormed the field after the victory. Even though they are not my college team I was caught up in the excitement. Was a great experience.

That was 18yrs ago. It's been that long since we won (or even been in) a WS

1996 USC vs. UCLA football game at the Rose Bowl. UCLA came back from a 17 point deficit in the 4th quarter to win in overtime. I experienced just about every emotion wathing that game. Total frustration when 'SC started to romp us, total disbelief when we tied the game and elation when UCLA won. I'm glad I got to experince it first hand.

A close second would be when UCLA beat USC 13-9 to knock them out of the BCS title game.

2006 #3 USC vs Oregon State

Was the most dramatic, emotional rollercoaster, thing I've ever seen in my life. The crowd was so loud, the stadium could be heard clear across town. USC came back for one last drive. They scored and needed a 2 pt conversion to tie the game. Our defense batted down the pass. They tried the onside kick and we took the win. The stadium literally shook as the fans fled to the field.

Was the greatest day of football I've ever witnessed and what made it even more special is it was Dad's weekend at OSU, so I got to share it with him.

I really wish I had been there to see the Beavers do it again to the then ranked #1 USC team this year, but I didn't have a ticket.

But you had a list of excuses

St Bavo 6th grade boys basketball vs St Pius. Championship game. St Pius beat us by large margin earlier in the season. The St Pius team was a bunch of ringers as they didn't have an actual school at that time. St Bavo was short and slow but the boys played their hearts out and beat the Goliath of St Pius by 14 points. I didn't even have a kid playing. My daughter was a cheerleader. I have never seen a game like it and probably never will again.

Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, MA

Matt Cassell rallies the Pats from 18 points down against the Jets to tie the game on a TD pass to Randy Moss with one second remaining. Brett Farve then leads the Jets to an overtime winning field goal that includes a 16 yard completion on third and 15 from his own fifteen.

Possibly the best football game I've ever seen.

My last game at old Yankee Satdium. Jeter tied the all time hits list that day. It was awesome, the crowd exploded!

hotreds · 11-22-2008, 07:45 PM

Field security for every game of the 1990 Reds' season including the Playoffs and World Serious. I'll never forget the stunned look on the A's bat boys(who were as big as Jose Canseco) after we beat the Bash Brothers. Sweet!

It may not have been the best sporting event, but it was definately the best seats I've ever had to a sporting event! For Christmas, my wife got us 2 tickets to the Devils vs Canadians game on Friday 1/2. The seats were amazing and were in the "club" section that gets you into the exclusive "Fire" and "Ice" lounges with free food throughout the game! The seats were 7 rows from the ice behind the Devils' bench and the Devils won 4-1. (3 of my fantasy hockey players scored too!)

The new arenas/stadiums are just amazing! They have just about everything you can think of to enjoy the game comfortably!!

Thanks to my wonderful wife for the amazing Christmas present!

1994 Olympics in Atlanta. Partied like a Rock Star for 2 weeks. The whole city shut down and I was able to go to several events including both of Michael Johnson's Gold Medal performances (200 and 400)

Last spring. Boston Bruins vs. Montreal at the Bell Centre in Montreal (Game 7 first round of the playoffs). It didn't matter that I was up in the "noseblead section". The pre-game atmosphere was simply amazing, a trip to a cigar shop on St. Catharines Street and a great win by the Habs

For me it has to be the Spring Bush Race at Bristol 2 years ago when in the middle of the race a full fledged blizzard broke out and snowballs were flying everywhare

Patriots game when Bledsoe got knocked out and Tom Brady took the reins.
