Best sport events you have ever been to

^ As the title says.....post your trips

I went to 2 basketball activities they call "Haarlem Basketball week" aka Harlem Basketball week in the Netherlands where tons of international topteams come out and play eachother. 1 team of them where the North Carolina Tarheels with Vince Carter and Antawn Jamison, great show (Y)

I also have been to the Harlem Globetrotters....but it wasnt really that great because I like some serious competition more then a game where everything is planned.

Im also planning to go to the Dreamteam - Germany exhibition game in Germany this summer.

hmm nothing too special. I went to the usa/aus b-ball game prior to the goodwill games tourny a couple of years ago...
Australian open tennis, though nothing too impressive there. Anna K was alright :)
What else... I dunno. Not much else interests me, and we have a fair bit of sport here, Formula 1 Grand Prix, Aussie Rules football, Aus Open Tennis, Rugby world cup recently I think (didn't pay much attention) and um, yeah.
I'm about as enthusiastic as a Hawks fan right about now... :(

I watched the Nets play the Cavs over Winter break this January.

Unfortunately I didn't get pictures and didn't have much to say to the boards afterwards.

I went to the Olympics in 2000 and saw some athletics, the cheering when an Australian won something was louder than anything I've ever heard. I think there was 5 million people at Homebush on the day I went, it was crazy. Heh I remember this Greek guy winning Gold in the 200m, and the exact same time he crossed the finish line an Australian long jumper had just taken the lead over some Cuban dude, and the Greek guy though all the cheering was for him, it was kinda sad. Other than that, i've been to numerous NRL and Super League games, I went and saw the Newcastle Falcons regularly, cause they were close... and I used to see the Kings play every couple of weeks, like back when to get a ticket you just showed up. And my dad had corporate seats for the Razorbacks, so I saw them a few times

I have a few...the ISU/Nebraska football game where ISU knocked off the Huskers at home...trying to tear down the goal posts is fun :D

This year, the Iowa State/Iowa bball game....three times the PA announcer had to call over the system telling the crowd about Iowa State fans' sportsmanship, and this includes the old people with good seats that were yelling shit (one of the Iowa players raped a girl and got away with it b/c he's on the team...chants of 'no means no,' 'rapist,' and so on every time he touched the ball).

I went to a T-wolves - Detroit game last year. It was a good game, I forgot who won, though...fairly sure it was the T-Wolves. Ben Wallace was shooting the lights out, shooting from like 20 feet and making his free throws...very strange.

I went to district competitions in track and cross country...made it to regionals in track a couple times. That was when I had knees. :(

Ireland vs. USA in a soccer match at Foxboro Stadium.

It started raining and the lights went out so a lot of drunken Irish ran onto the field stealing the corner flags.

Four policemen would have to dive on one guy all at once.

It was a tie game, 1-1, but it was sure good to watch all the drama from the 1st row.

I was in Miami for a few days after a cruise I went on for spring break and caught a Hornets @ Heat game. There was an awesome atmosphere, especially during the 3rd quarter when there was a near fight, Magloire got ejected. And I guess everybody felt they had to make up for all the empty seats with noise. It was so loud in there, and everyone was so excited it made the game seem close.

I've seen a few other NBA games, but that's basically it. And I saw the Globetrotters for my 8th or 9th Birthday.
