Most memorable sporting event that you ever attended

[MarshCappa]

Growing up I was lucky my family loved sports. We lived in RI and then Western MA and my Dad took me to the old Sunset league games at Cardines field in Newport as my first memory of a game attended. Over the years we went to the Prov Civic Center to watch PC games, Fenway, the Garden, and Schaefer. Growing up in the 70's & 80's the Bruins, Celtics, and Pats all contended and the Celts gave us the championships.

Of all the games I ever attended my all time favorite was when we beat down Peyton Manning in the AFC championship with Ty Law just owning Manning all day. The atmosphere in the stadium was insane. My wife bought tickets the week before the game when the Pats announced they would open up phone lines for a few minutes. She called and got through and we got 7th row 50 yard line seats for face value! No one in the stadium sat down the whole game and it was so loud! Every snap the crowd was screaming. The Colts got beat down mentally and physically that night and it was awesome to be a part of the AFC Championship trophy presentation and listen to live post game speeches from field level. A close second for me was that same season my wife and I went to the snowbowl game against the Dolphins and got to be a part of a pretty cool atmosphere for that game as well. They were expecting around 15,000 and got something like 45,000 in attendance. If you got to the gate they let you in and didn't even check your tickets. Back then I lived a couple of miles from the stadium and it was an easy drive for my Jeep Wrangler. We had 2nd level seats and you had to make shift shovle your seat out. People were belly sliding down the aisles. Very fun game and we clinched the AFC East with the win.

It kinda seems like the Pats crowds now are very L.A. like and laid back. Show up late, not get into the game unless something good happens and bail out when the going gets tough. Maybe it's just me but the Razor seems softer now. I hope the people that go this weekend show me different.

So I'd love to hear about your favorite game that you attended..........
