The first game in person for me was in August 1967 - a preseason game between Washington, then named Redskins, and the NY Giants. Played in Raleigh at Carter-Finley Stadium.

First pro game I remember seeing on TV - Dec 1965 between the Baltimore Colts and the GB Packers. Packers won kicking a FG to end the game. I still believe the kick was wide. I was a Colt fan because Jimmy Orr, former UGA player was on the team.

First college game on TV I remember - Dawgs vs. NCSU Dec 1967 in the Liberty Bowl. Jim Donnan was a QB on the NCSU team and they won 14-7.
