Some good ones listed already, I'm trying to pick ones which haven't already been said (Flames aside, that's a given), as there's some listed above that would've otherwise made this list.
2009 Super Bowl, South Florida, Saints vs. Colts. Worst part was my aunt & uncle somehow got tix for this and gave them away, but gave them to their daughter & her now fiance. Understandable, but I would've killed them both for those. It crossed my mind.
2004 Stanley Cup Playoffs- Any of the 3 series clincher games for us. Game 7 Van would be awesome to see live us finally (FINALLY!) end our 15 year 1st round hex. Game 6 Detroit - Eliminator - the loudest I think the Dome was for that entire playoff run. And game 6 SJ - to see the mini-trophy celebration & know we're off to the Finals.
1986 Smythe Division Finals, game 7, Flames @ Oilers: Steve Smith own goal, only time from 83-88 the Oilers didn't advance to the Finals, and 86 was statistically their (and Gretzky's too) best year. Flames slay the dragon in their own building, beautiful.
2001 World Series, Yankees vs. Dbacks. Game 4 or 5. To date, best WS I've ever seen. In the Bronx, the Yankees come back in the 9th inning in both games on closer Byung-Hyun Kim on dingers, Paul O'Neill in game 4, and Scott Brosius in game 5 with 2 outs. Game 7 in Phoenix would be great too, with Dbacks down in bottom of the 9th facing the greatest closer in MLB history...and somehow winning. Great series.
1993 World Series: Game 6, Philadelphia @ Toronto: the Joe Carter blast, at home. Can't imagine how electric it'd be like there live. 92 would be amazing too, being the first title. But it didn't have the finish of the 2nd one, plus they didn't clinch at home, so I gave the edge to 93.
And just to be a jackass...
Game 7, 2006 Stanley Cup Finals, Oilers @ Canes & Game 7, 2011 Stanley Cup Finals, Bruins @ Canucks. Just so I could laugh, and laugh, and laugh...
I could go on and on but I'll stop here. Multiple summer & winter Oly moments that have already been said, especially Donovan Bailey.
