1994 Florida St vs Notre Dame in Orlando. My buddy was a big FSU fan and begged me to go.

The 1991 Masters will probably remain an unfilled item on your buckey list.

But if you have future opportunities to attend, I can tell you I went to a practice round one year and it was my favorite visit. Everyone is different but I enjoyed the practice round more than the year with a Sunday playoff. Either way you will not be disappointed.

The 1991 version will be a tough ticket

I know what you mean though. It's like heaven.

I'm a Jags fan that was going to school in Nashville, so I drove to down to Jax to watch us blow it

1998 Falcons beat the Vikings in OT to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl. We were in a sweet suite for the game which made it even better 25-30 yard line.


As I recall that game was in Minnesota. You were at the Metrodome for that? Road trip!

My dad was at that game. Sadly, I was not. Are you getting used to seeing Miracles yet?

I was at the 2010 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Too bad I couldn't have been there a week later. And it's probably no big deal to anyone, but the last 3 years of bowl games for Vandy have been a huge deal for us, so I'm gonna count them. You can't stop me.

I'm a Jags fan also. I went to the 1999 Jacksonville vs. Miami Divisional playoff and got to see the Jags destroy the Dolphins in Marino and Jimmy Johnson's last game.

I also went to the regular season home game that year against the titans.

1991 World Series Game 4. Braves beat the Twins 3-2 when Mark Lemke scored on a sac fly in the bottom of the ninth for the win.

Honorable mentions:
Hideo Nomo throwing a no-hitter at Camden.
First ever Washington Nationals game in DC.
Strasburg's pro debut in DC.

I haven't seen too many great basketball games or non-Auburn football games.

If it was the Smoltz vs Pettite 1-0 contest, that would have been Game #5, which was the final game at FCS. I was there as well.

I was also there a month earlier for the final regular season game against the Expos - by the strangest of coincidences, the final regular season batter was Moises Alou for Montreal, who was at that time being managed by his dad Felipe, who back in April 1966 was the first regular season batter in stadium history.

I practically grew up in that ugly hunk of concrete. I remember as a kid thinking that the voice of the Braves' PA announcer Marshall Mann was the actual stadium speaking - I'll forever associate the sound of his voice with that place. Appropriately, he retired at the same time they closed the joint, and sadly died of cancer before they threw out the first pitch at Turner Field the following April.

I forgot to add several World Series games in Atlanta over the years, but that was a long time ago. Plus several events at the 96 summer Olympic games in Atlanta.

Super Bowl 31
Last game at the old Yankee Stadium (2008)

Unfortunately I was like 8 years old when I went to the Super Bowl. Would have liked to have gone to SB 45, but was a broke college kid at the time

1984 Orange Bowl. A friend of my dads was a Nebraska grad and I went to every Orange Bowl that Nebraska played in during the 80's and early 90's.

Jesus, how could I forget this one..especially this week.

I was at the Hank Aaron 715 game in 1974. I was 12. I wound up going to HS with Aarons two sons Henry and Larry, both a year or two older than me and great athletes.

I attended the Alabama Florida SECCGs in 2008 and 2009.

I also went to the Alabama UGA game in 2012.

I have tickets every year so I take some Bama fans when they get to go to Atlanta.

I usually enjoy the game because I just watch 2 really good teams get after it.
