Most memorable sporting event that you ever attended

[PaulS]

I saw the US get screwed by the refs. and lose to the Russians at the 1972 Olympics. Also, saw UConn mens BBall team win 2 NCAA championships. I have a special spot in my heart for the 1983 superbowl when I spent the night with a Ram cheerleader.

My most memorable sports moment wasn't an important game, it was just a regular season Celtics game at the ORIGINAL "Garden".
The Celts were playing the Lakers, and I had seats in the balcony, behind the basket.
Back then they weren't as strict with section access as they are now, so during the second quarter my kid sister and I wandered down to the floor level to try and get some pictures.
We were able to literally stand right behind the basket and sit on the foam platform the hoops were mounted on. At one point we almost had players fall on us as they had been driving in for a lay up and came down on the foam padding (where we had been sitting). That was when the "security personnel" asked us to get back to our seats.

I also got M.L. Carr's autograph that day, since he wasn't in uniform.

My brother works down near Fenway for a food vendor, and has met many of the Red Sox after the games, but that's HIS story, not mine.

1962, Yankee stadium, Giants vs Browns.
End zone seats which allowed you to run out on the field after the games, which we did.
I looked up and saw this guy, looked like he was a freakin giant, although 6'2" at #230 which was big for a running back then, with thighs
as large as telephone poles, with a bleeding gash at the top of his nose.
It was Jim Brown and i said to myself, how the H could you ever wrap and tackle
this guy head on running at you, let alone even walking at you.
Big smile from him, one of the very best greats.

Umass vs. BC at the Fleet when Camby and Billy Curley were playing. That was a good time.

'99 Daytona 500.My first 500 and the 24 won.

Second,my very first race I ever attended in '95 at Louden.You guessed it...the 24.

AFC Play-off Patriots vs Jacksonville. My Daughter's High School Class hawked the Coco and HotDogs for half of Foxboro Stadium. It was frozen-arsed cold. A fan who over celebrated the GreenBay game before hand took a swing at me and I handed him over to Security who arrested him. Spent the rest of the game making coco in the cellar and watching the game on TV there..Great night!!

Brown was probably bigger than any of the Giants' defensive linemen, except for Rosie Grier.

Gifford was 6'1'' around #195, scat back for sure.

Tittle was a WARRIOR.
