Title says it all, just curious if anyone has been to any big sporting events. I don't know if it counts as a sport but I went to WrestleMania X8 at the skydome. The atmosphere was incredible, an event ill never forget.:handclap:

I went to the Calder Cup Finals this year.. Pretty good stuff..

I went to a WJC game against Sweden but it was a Prelim game, pretty good atmosphere at the ACC for that. Plus PK Subban saw my sign :laugh:

UFC 83 in Montreal is probably the biggest for me. (First time they came across the boarder) Was a riot. Also went to the first one in Toronto, was also amazing.

How about that toolbag from the stands who put his foot through the limo roof prior to the match! Good stuff. I went with some buddies, and I remember freezing my ass off at the line to get in. It was taking so long, I ditched my friends and went in another gate right away to see the dark matches. They froze an extra 30 minutes because their ticket said to use that gate and wouldn't leave. They stumble up to the seats and I'm sitting there eating candy and watching the match. The atmosphere at skydome when Hogan came out is something that still gives me chills. I've been to Michigan stadium to see football games with a packed house and that's pretty special, but the skydome that night was even more electric. It counts as a sporting event to me.

The London Knights important games of 2005. Breaking the streak for longest unbeaten streak to start a season, the OHL championship clinching game 5 vs Ottawa and the Memorial Cup.

I was also In Rimouski for all of the Spitfires wins, that was pretty special to be a part of. That team was amazing the way it bounced back after losing the first 2 games to win 4 straight elimination games against the best teams in Canada.

probably my 2 favorites were playoffs against the sens, game 7, we eliminated them and I started the "na na na na" chat


or last time i was in chicago for a wings/hawks game, atmosphere there for regular season is like playoffs in toronto.

2010 Olympic Opening Ceremonies in Vancouver, a game 7 playoff against the Sens (we won obviously), while not a huge deal before the game, Sundin's 500th goal game was amazing.
