My first NFL game was only a few years ago. In 2010 I was visiting some in-laws in San Jose and decided to hit up the SF/Saints MNF game at candlestick. I'm not a fan of either so I didn't care who won. I bought a 49ers shirt so I would fit in.

Nosebleed seats cost a fortune, parking was shitty, but the game experience was awesome. It was late in the 4th qtr and the 49ers were down 8 points. Alex Smith drives them down for a frank gore score with less than a minute to go. The stadium went absolutely nuts. Then on the 2pt conversion Vernon Davis was stopped short of the stadium and all the life fell out.....it went to replay......and they overturned it!!! At the moment it was overturned Candlestick was rocking so much I tried to capture the moment on my phone but couldn't stay still long enough to focus. it was that crazy.

funny thing is with 53 seconds left, Drew Brees drove the saints down the field, kicked a FG as time expired and SF lost by 3. hahaha....so many sad faces walking back to the car

The 1995 PGA Championship in Tulsa with Nick Price winning. The first major golf tournemant I ever attended. The Sooners beating number #1 Nebraska in Norman on their way to winning the National Championship in 2000. First time I've ever seen the goalposts torn down in Norman. Also the OU/Texas Red River Rivalry game of 1974 where the Sooners kicked the winning FG right at me when I was sitting in the endzone. And the San Francisco Giants vs Pittsburgh where I also had a homerun hit at me as I was sitting in left field of Candlestick Park, by none other than Oklahoma native Bobby Mercer.

2011 Kentucky Derby. Couldn't get close enough to see a horse and the only thing I remember is that I was too goddamn drunk to remember and the $70 cab ride back to the hotel.

In Baltimore with a smoking hot chick.. Going to see White Sox (my team) play Orioles...

Good guys Down 2 runs in the 9th.... get bases loaded then a Grand Slam... ended the night with some crazy hot sex, which is probably what makes it more memorable than other games lol... If I take out that part...

Probably attending the Season Finale of that reality Boxing show "the contender" - the atmoshere was unlike anything I've ever experienced. I'm sure a mega boxing PPV would outdo it though

Wow!!!! If that was the most memorable.... hope everything else was from the safety of your home watching on TV.

Over the years, some of the crap on this site is just priceless.

If I was being honest, my most memorable is actually because of the heart break....

My first March Madness game, my alma mater ODU playing Butler in the 1st round... Really believed we had a special team... We played poorly...

We are down 6 with 2 mins left in the game... battle back. Our Defense was so nasty that year. Hold them, we score, hold them, we score, hold them, Our 50% FT shooter gets fouled with 30 secs left, down 2... He hits both!... Now all we have to do is hold them to OT... IMO, were the better team, just played poorly, so if we get to OT, I feel so strongly we will win... I trust our D. Iso, the Conference defensive player of the year on him, he throws up an off balanced, ugly shot. Air Balls or just throws it up... Butler guy just tips it hard off the glass, long rebound, easy lay in for Butler with less than a second left. We lost..... Such a BS way to lose..

Butler went on to loss in the Championship game.. I really think we had a team to make that run.. It was a weak bracket

DAMN YOU GUYS MAKING ME BRING THIS UP! .. should have stuck with my hot chick one..

Hey Defying. Wasn't it ODU that the Shrink used to follow with such interest?

yeah, didn't know it at the time... Didn't discover theRX until 09, but yeah Shrink was a big ODU supporter from what I read. never met him unfortunately.

2009 NCAA Men's Hockey National Championship game, Verizon Center in DC.

Nothing else will ever come close, and not for the right reasons.

Never met him in person. I spoke to him on the phone though. Far fetched, but people ought to consider a story like his before they promote these disgraceful shows like Steve Stevens.

Dale Earnhardt finally winning the Daytona 500 and last year watching the SOX win the WS. Most memorable when I was a kid was watching the Springfield Indians winning the cup. Had season tickets for years, they barely made the playoffs and went on an amazing run.

Gave 7 eastern conf finals. Sixer bucks. Sixers won.

2years ago eagles home opener. My wife won tickets to the bud lite flight deck. It is a small outdoor bar only 20-25 people get tickets to a game. Own bar, own bar and restaurant seats. You can't buy these tickets. amazing way to watch a game.

Miami Dolphins San Diego Chargers 1982 playoff game at the Orange Bowl. That may have been the best game ever played.
