For me...I just got back from it...I can't believe I was at a World Series game....too bad the Yankees lost...everything about it is spectacular....the f-15's, the flag, the game, everything....they could have had someone other than Clay "Fag" Aiken sing the national anthem though...that guy sucks

Well I have been lucky enough to be at not just one but TWO Giants NFC Championship games. (IN 87 against the Redskins and in 99(?) against the Vikings)
I was also at Three Stanley Cup Championships also, Two of the Devils games this past summer and in Carolina for the Hurricanes and the Red Wings. It was a triple overtime game that lasted for 5 hours. THAT was a hockey game!

Thursday nights game 7. Yankees vs Boston.

Bleecher seats. Saw the first pitch to the Boone HR.

Amazing night, the crowd was electric. Classic ball game with dramatic ups and downs with a movie ending.

My dad got the tickets and it's something I'll remember being at with him forever!

1972-1973 Knicks NBA championship...all the home games.
July 9 1969...Tom Seaver's near perfect game....where's Jimmy Qualls now?
Was at the Miracle at the Meadowlands when the Jets beat the Fish at 1:30AM a few seasons ago.

I've been to a few memorable games...

Game 1, 1996 ALCS: I was in the upper deck behind 1st base for the fan-aided Jeter home run in the playoffs (thanks, Tom!). We couldn't see a damn thing going on in right field, so we just waited for the crowd's reaction & celebrated. But we had a great view a little later when "Bernie goes boom" and actually won the game. That was pretty special.

Game 3, 1998 World Series: I think this one is the biggest just because it was the World Series. My family had great seats & I got to watch Chad Curtis' walk-off HR & experience the mass jubilation that followed. Unfortunately I had to watch Sports Center a few hours later to watch him make Jim Gray looks foolish.

Game 2, 1998 ALCS: Screamed from the RF bleachers as Chuckie argued with Ted Hendry instead of picking up the ball...one of the biggest losses I've ever been to see live, except for...

NFC Divisional Play-offs 1989: I had my favorite seats in Giants Stadium, Section 302, the last two seats against the side of the scoreboard, backs to the concrete of the stadium wall, up with God. Watched a quite game until....FUCK YOU, FLIPPER!!!. I still wish ass-cancer on him whenever I'm praying for a Giants win. "God, please help Michael Strahan remember where the QB is on the field, make Tiki hold on to the damn ball..and, oh yeah, ass-cancer for Flipper Anderson...Amen."

Thinking in terms of a game that would likely wind up on ESPN Classic, I would have to say Michael Jordan's double nickel - the 1995 comeback at the Garden when he scored 55 against the Knicks.

Game 6 of the '86 World Series. For me the best, for Billy Buckner the worst.

i was at that game. it was fucking awesome, especially when bernie won it with a homer in extra innings (sounds familiar). although i've been to several alcs/lcs games, and a world series game, i think that that game was the most exciting one I was at.

I was at the 1987, 1993 and 2000-03 Final Fours.

1995: the last game ever at Boston Garden. At halftime all the Celtic greats (even Bill Russell) were introduced and they had a "dream fast break": Bob Cousy inbounded the ball and it was passed to each player, ending up with Larry Bird who made a layup.

I was also at Kevin McHale night when they retired his number 32.

2002 Winter Olympics. I got to see over 20 events including the Opening Ceremonies. The most notable event was the Pairs Figure Skating Finals (SkateGate).

I've also been to 3 Stanley Cup Finals games, 3 MLB All-Star games, a World Series game, an NBA Finals game and 4 Women's World Cup soccer games.

Wrestlemania X7 at the Astrodome. It was ridiculous.

Besides that, just college. When A&M upset Nebraska and Oklahoma while they were ranked #1. :)

I was at the 1999 AFC Division game, Jets vs. Jacksonville. And what a game it was, the first time the Jets ever advanced at home to the AFC championship. The place went nuts when they won, with the confetti going off and what not. Absolut pandemonium.

What I remember about that game was that it was cold out that day, and I bundled everything up except for my feet. So my lil tootsies were freezing by the end of the game. But alas that was my only complaint about the game. It was a majestic almost surreal experience, considering it is the Jets after all...

Stanley Cup Game 7, last season, Daneyko's last game. (Time to upset some people) I'm not really much of a hockey fan, but just being there to witness the moment was amazing. That's probably the biggest moment I've seen live. Oh, I was also there for Bischoff coming out at Raw. That was big too.

I've got about 4 I can think of.............
1) 1995 Stanley Cup Finals, Devils v. Red Wings Game 4.......to watch the Devils lift the Cup for the first time was truly an amazing expierence, something I'll never forget for as long as i live
2) Sept. 18th 2002 Notre Dame v. Michigan at Notre Dame Stadium.........The Irish beat a heavily favored Michigan team and proceed to roll out 6 more victories in a row to start the season 8-0, an amazing game
3) Oct. 1996 World Series Game 1 Yankees v. Braves........The Yanks got their asses kicked by a score of 12-1, Andruw Jones (at the tender age of 19) lit up the Yankees pitching staff but it was still amazing to be at a Yankees World Series game, the one that started the current dynasty
4) March 17th 2002 Wrestlemania..........One of the greatest moments in WWE history was no doubt Rock v. Hogan, being in that stadium gave me goosebumps.
