Major Sports Championships You've Attended
 

Poll Forthcoming...

I didn't know what else to add. But I've been to both the World Series (1998 Yankees @ Padres Game 3)

And the Stanley Cup (2003 Devils @ Ducks Game 3)

You forgot "none".

OOOH that counts as other.

World Series in '85. I was five, so I don't know if it counts.

NLCS game 6 (the last at Busch Stadium) and the '03 Divisional Round are the closest I've gotten.

None can't be an "other". The Olympics is an "other", Daytona 500 is an "other". None is a "none". My answer is "none".

Fine. If I could edit it, I would.

Supposedly JBucc has been to all of them.

2007 Border War.

:)

Even though the Daytona 500 is the biggest event in Nascar, its not the championship.

Ok, but I've never been there either so my answer is still "none".

Does WWF or WWE count?

1958 US Open. I also went to the PGA but I don't remember the year. I went to an open practice for the 1988 Final Four at Kemper.

It should be a bannable offense for a non-Chiefs fan to post a poll like this on a Chiefs board.

Well, I dont know how that would work. I guess any time you saw a Main Title match in person.

lol I took my son to see Hulk Hogan when he was a kid.

Was Bagger Vance there?

Is it ok for a non-Chiefs fan to post on it?

Well in that case, I've seen wrestling's equivalent of the NIFL Championship Game!

He didn't come along until later.

Only if you don't list a non-Chiefs Super Bowl.

Hey, RNR, where you been? In jail?

I was in the adjoining fitting room
at JC Penny's
when Wilt Chamberlain poked #20,000

Indy 500 is the closest thing to a world championship I have ever attended

Lurk more than post anymore, goofing off today. How you been Skip?

Game 7 of the 1985 World Series.

Are you a Royals fan or Cards fan?

Do Big 12/8 Tournament Championships count? Because I've been to the last 12 out of 14 of them.

I dont think they count, it has to be for the National Championship.

Royals - and it was awesome. I was 14 at the time, and I remember my Dad let my older brother go down to run around on the field but I had to stay with him.

Can't complain. We've missed you around here.

Thats cool and lame, but still seeing something like that must have been great. Plus the blowout meant no tense moments. I hate the Cards too, glad your a Royals fan.

Division 2 football. that's all...

You're not a real fan.

MVC basketball tournament final twice.

Big playoff/playoff implication games:

2005 ALDS Game 1
2006 NFC Championship Game
Kansas/Missouri last week

The first Sugar Ray Leonard - Roberto Duran fight. Closed circuit TV at Kemper. It was before pay-per-view.

Me too.

I forgot to check world series. Giants against A's in the Earthquake series.

The undefeated Dolphins in LA. Pops got free tickets from Westinghouse. I was in the 4th grade.

My only major sproting event was Michigan losing, as usual, the Rose Bowl. I think it was 1990. Would have been 15 at the time.

AFC Divisional Playoff game in 03 Colts vs. Chiefs is the closest I've gotten to any of those. I was at the Daytona 500 when #3 won(98) and when he died(01).

Game 6 and Game 7 in 1985.

ALCS - 1976,77. Missed 1978. Saw game 2 of the 1980 ALCS. Wasn't able to attend the 1984 ALCS where Detroit wailed on the Royals.

1998, 2000, 2003 Big XII CG's.

Game 4 and 5 of the 2006 World Series.

Super Bowl XXII in San Diego

Super Bowl XXVI in Minnesota


Saw the Redskins win both times

Final Four in New Orleans a few years back.

Super Bowl Dallas vs. Pitsuburgh for free no less.

Got to see my baseball team win a world championship live.

Remind me to give you some Positive Rep for this post when I can tomorrow.

I think this may be one of my favorite posts ever.

Just one. I was one of the 18,000 voices at the GAAAAHDEN on a memorable night...

Rose bowl many times

First USFL championship game in Denver, where the Michigan Panthers beat the Carl Peterson-led Philadelphia Stars, 24-22.

Was at the 2005 Masters.

Also was at Over the Edge '98 when Owen Hart got killed at Kemper...not a championship but memorable nonetheless.

Geebus tits; you really are an old bastard! I would guess that 75% of this board wasn't even born in 58! How old were you then?

I was in the roller skating nationals in 1986. Does that count?

I was at game 1 of the '88 World Series when Kirk Gibson hit a 2 run homer in the bottom of the ninth to beat the A's in LA.

I was at the 2004 Super Bowl in Houston when the Patriots defeated the Panthers 32–29, as Adam Vinatieri kicked a 41-yard field goal with four seconds left.

Been lucky not only to go to these, but see two great games.

1994 Orange Bowl, Nebraska v. Florida State, got 4 tix for free from USO; was New Year's Day, nobody else could go, so I went & scalped the other 3 tix for $100 each.

I still thhink Nebraska was the better team.

I had tickets to numerous AFC Championship Games during the '90s.

yep. and 2003. most buy playoff tickets in Dec.

thanks Carl for the memories :shake: FU Carl glad your gone.

I've never attended one, but it's worked out that I lived in quite a few cities involved in major sporting events. I lived in Buffalo three of the years the Bills went to the Super Bowl. I lived in Washington DC the year they went to the Stanley Cup Finals against Detroit. I lived in Houston when the Super Bowl, MLB All Star game, World Series and two NLCS's were played there.
I just never went. Too much money in my opinion. The only one I really wish I'd gone to was the Stanley Cup Finals, but I'm a Sabres fan and the Caps had just beat the Sabres in the Eastern Conference finals so I was feeling a lot of hatred toward the Caps. The kind of sports hate only hockey can produce for me.
