Any of you had the honor of attended a huge game? I for one would love to go to a Super Bowl someday.

I have been to Wimbledon, which was amazing.

i was at the Pistons/NJ playoff game 5 last season. when Chauncey hit a three pointer to tie and send it to OT. it went to 3 OT's and we lost, but it was an awesome game.

i was also at the infamous Pistons/Pacers brawl this season :Q

Game 4 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Kings

I was actually thinking of leaving in the second quarter, but then I decided to stay . . .

Robert Horry's three right at the end . . . The place just went CRAZY!!

Oh, plus, I was at Games 6 & 7 of the 2002 World Series where the Angels knocked off the Giants

The game Mark McGwire hit that 500+ feet home run in King dome against Randy Johnson.....




if I didn't go to get a hot and missed the homerun, it would have been an amazing moment.

no, i dont think 10 seconds left, because i distinctly remember, there was 11.8 seconds left on the clock when the play started

I think the score was 98-95 with 26 seconds left when Shaq went to the line . . .

The whole place was praying, even the ATHEISTS! :Q My heart felt so heavy (it feels heavy RIGHT NOW typing this up)

Fortunately, Shaq made both, making the score 98-97

Then with 11.8 left, someone fouled Vlade Divac and he went to the line and MISSED THE FIRST ONE

He made the second and it was 99-97 Kings

Okay, timeout . . .

I had to sit down because my heart was like . . . weighing me down

Okay, so play starts . . .

Kobe gets the ball, takes it to the top of the 3, then with about 7 remaining, drives to the right against Doug Christie, and throws up a layup . . .

Hits the backboard, but too long . . . I started crying, but I then I see Shaq on the other side of the basket . . .

He misses the putback . . . now, I REALLY started crying . . .

My heart was crushed when Divac batted the ball out, cause I thought it was Game Over

But then I see Robert Horry and I glance at the clock . . . 1.7 . . .

He catches it, throws it up . . .

It literally HUNG there for an HOUR

I remember screaming at the top of my lungs, "MAKE IT!!"

And it went in :D

EDIT: i downloaded the vidcap a few years ago, anyone want to host it? :D

Indy 500's and Daytona 500's are both very exciting. I've attended maybe 10 of each and even though I like Nascar better, the Indy races are more exciting when you're at the track.

I was at the 1998 playoff game between the Vikings and Falcons when Gary Anderson missed a field goal, after he had set an NFL record that season for consecutive field goals. :| Found out, our season tickets had been selected for Super Bowl tickets too. I would have been at the Super Bowl that year, had the Vikings won. :|
