The biggest thing I have been to was game 7 of the 1985 American League Championship Series.

Blue Jays lose . . . Blue Jays lose . . . Blue Jays lose . . .

Oh boy, this could be a long list.

NFL: 2 Seattle Seahawks games at Qwest Field

College football: Literally dozens of Beavers games both home and away, Cal Bears a few times, and one trip to the new Stanford Stadium when the Beavers came to town, and that is the most comfortable, clean and well-designed stadium I've ever watched a sporting event in.

High school football: A couple seasons of Mendocino (CA) Cardinal games when my brother was playing WR/CB, and a season of Southridge (OR) Skyhawks games since my first apartment after the monastery happened to be just two blocks from their stadium and if I was going to have to listen to the band and the applause anyway, I might as well watch the game.

NBA: A couple dozen Portland Trailblazer games, all at the beautiful Rose Garden.

College basketball: Probably over 60 Beaver basketball games, all in Gill Coliseum.

MLB: Three Oakland A's games, all when my favorite White Sox have come to town. Lousy stadium, will avoid in the future.

College baseball: Half a dozen Beaver baseball games at Goss Stadium, and one they played at PGE Park in Portland.

WHL ice hockey: A dozen or so Portland Winterhawks games, again in the Rose Garden.

Auto racing: 2 NASCAR road course races at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA and 5 CART road course races at Portland Int'l. Raceway.

Also a ton of Beaver wrestling meets in Corvallis (gotta love those boys in their singlets), a couple Beaver gymnastics meets, and a couple Beaver softball games.

Biggest events were the Bears-Colts Superbowl and a Stanly Cup series. Family had NBA Finals tickets but the old man did not go and did not bother to tell us.

SuperBowl is a MUST DO before you die.

im 25 and ive been to, at least 100 a's/giants games, ive seen the padres as well, the allstar homerun derby at pacbell, ive seen the sharks play a few times, countless warriors games, countless Cal college games both on the hill and in the stadium, ive also been to paloalto for the big game, as well as for notre dame/;stanford when i got to be on the sideline thanks to my 2nd cousin Lou Holtz, a wsop event in tahoe even though i dont count that as a sport, multiple pro snowboarding events including the ones in san francisco, the air races in the bay, multiple nascar events at infineon(formerly sears point), as well as fontana. I guess I take living in a high sports team per capita area for granted, Im sure i am also forgetting other events.

I've been to tons of college (football, baseball, basketball) games, probably 40-50 NBA games, was at 90% of the Houston Oilers home game from 1962-73 and again from 1978-80, and the last good count I had on Astros games was about 600 in the late 90s. To the best of my knowledge, I've only been to one NHL game but went to a bunch of the old WHA gamewhen the Houston Aeros had the Howe Family skating. Have been to cricket matches in the UK, one World Cup game in 1994 (Brazil and the Netherlands at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, what a great event), and even elephant soccer in Thailand.

Have also been to two MLB All-Star Games, and several LDS and LCS games in MLB playoffs, but never a World Series game. Had tickets to Game 5 of the 2005 Series...Houston swept in four. So I'd like to get to a World Series game at some point.

Other than that, the one event I'd like to go to would be the Indy 500.
