Rose Bowl- BCS National Championship - Texas/USC, best sporting event I've ever been too

Final Four in Atlanta two years ago - met tons of celebrities, have a picture with Pacman Jones to prove it.

Not sure if you brought up NASCAR, but those are fun too.

NBA Finals in Dallas, solid atmosphere.

Personally, I think college football is the best live sporting event to attend.

I've been to 3 NBA Finals games involving the Bulls (all losses), 4 NCAA Lacrosse Final Fours (including 3 national championships won by Syracuse) and 2 small bowl games.  The biggest event I regret not going to was the 2003 NCAA Final Four in New Orleans when the Orange won it all.

The only ones that come to mind are Army-Navy 2007, and whatever that game is called before the AFC championship (not wild card game) Colts vs Bal

I was there for that Matty, I was a Junior at UT at the time and our professor gave us that Monday off.

TJ Ford vs Melo, Melo dominated. I drank a lot.

Recently went to CFB games at Clemson and saw USC/CAL last year up in Berkeley. Would like to go to a LSU game soon, hear they are outstanding.

This will not be considered by many as that big a deal, or at least not like in the past. My wife and I go with a local group of friends every year to the Indy 500 and let me tell you that until you witness it and all the festivities that go with it you cannot truly understand what a blast it isl We always sit on the paddock in pretty damn good seats and the start of that race is beyond description. I would very, very strongly urge everyone to attend at least once. Every year our group has at least a couple of newbies and to see the look in their eyes is priceless.

I went to Game 1 of the NBA Finals in 1991 - Bulls v Lakers in Chicago.  It was supposed to be game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Detroit, but the Bulls swept the Pistons and my Game 5's became Game 1's.  Bulls lost

I went to Game 3 of the NHL Finals - Blackhawks v Penguins in Chicago.  Blackhawks lost.

I've seen my Razorbacks in 2 Citrus Bowls and 1 SEC conference championship...Hogs lost all 3

I'm the cooler.

Ah yes, also been to the Indy 500 a few times and the Daytona 500.

Two Grey Cups first one in Winnipeg 1991 when John Candy and Wayne Gretzky owned the Argonauts temperature was -17F. 2005 Grey Cup, game went to OT.  2005 World Curling Championships.

JD, Indy was a wild time.  I always partied in the infield and it was like the world's largest kegger.  I've seen people having sex, lot's of boobs, one time I saw a guy wrestling WWF style with a Weber charcoal grill - one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed.  He was suplexing it, clotheslining it, and at one point, jumped off the roof of his van onto it.  Crazy.  When CART left Indy, we stopped going because the IRL drivers were so terrible.

Daytona was a bit more laid back and definitely catered to an older crowd.  And at Daytona, people actually watch the race.

Saw the 1970 Sugar Bowl Game! Arkansas vs Ole Miss with Archibald "ARCHIE WHO" Manning & Joe Ferguson. Rebels won 24-13.

night race at bristol, kentucky derby, and whatever BCS game clemson is in this year would be my top 3

game 7 world series 2002 angels /gaints, game 6 ducks nhl finals, playoff game angels /boston ( donnie moore melt down)

rose bowl ohio st/ asu (great game),  pacific classic when cigar lost to break his 17 race win streak
