Tottenham vs. Arsenal at White Hart Lane for the North London Derby. Amazing atmosphere - finished 2-2 with a last second equalizer for Spurs by Jermaine Jenas. What a day!

Soo jealous. I would kill to see a match in one of the 3 major leagues.
Preferably Real Madrid vs. Barcelona
I'm planning on attending the Euro 2012 cause it's in Poland and I have a ton of family there
Then I'd say ANY other home game from the 2004 playoffs.
And a few years ago I was at a meaningless Bluejay game when I was in Toronto, and got to witness only the 2nd cycle ever hit by a Blue Jay, and it was by Jeff Frye with Kelly Gruber in attendance...was pretty surreal.
1. Game 6, SCF Lightning @ Flames. That game was unreal, the Saddledome was so electric. Absolutely amazing.
2. WJHC 2003, Gold Medal Game. Russia v. Canada. I never thought I'd be in an atmosphere more electric than the Halifax Metro Centre that night. Unreal.
3. WJHC 2003, Semi-Final. USA v. Canada. Bobby Geoffard put on a clinic, fortunately so did Marc-Andre Fleury. I had no idea how we'd end up scoring, if at all to break the 2-2 deadlock. Fortunately Kyle Wellwood didn't get all on the shot he wanted, which ironically enough caughed Geoffard to be handcuffed and a 3-2 Canada win!
Being from the East Coast, I don't have the same exposure to elite level sports that you have in Calgary. But I'm pretty proud of being in attendance for my top three.
Honourable Mention: Rangers @ Red Sox, May 1998 (I do believe). It was the 7th inning before the shock on being in Fennway wore off and I got to see my Rangers pick up a rare victory.

the first Grey Cup game for me to see live, and it went into double overtime. despite not wanting to cheer for either team (edmonton vs montreal) it was a great game
close second: 2008 CFL west division final - Stamps vs Lions - McMahon stadium
bought tickets from a Calgarypucker(thanks Windom) in the reds the morning of the game, it was a saturday, the crowd was the best I've ever seen it. loud, loud loud and a close game. my first CFL playoff game. awesome. voice was very sore afterwards
close third: 2004 NLL championship game - Calgary vs Buffalo - Pengrowth Saddledome
got tickets from my uncle, crowd was decked out in black, full saddledome, Roughnecks win a back and forth battle that came down to the final minutes. my voice hurt after
