Dodgers winning the World Series, from a luxury box.

That's about it. Most sports are best watched from a distance, on Tv, with air conditioning and beer service.

Stanley Cup and BCS Title game. I was at the 1993 Sugar Bowl (1992 season) Alabama vs. Miami which was the National Championship game. Technically, I was working so I wasn't just a spectator but I still think it counts. Roll Tide!

I've already been to one of those events on that list. When I was seven, I attended the third game of the 1972 World Series (A's v. Reds). That was the first MLB game I went to.

Auto and horseracing slipped my mind until too late.
