Mar 96 to see the last 2 games at the Montreal Forum and the 1st game at the Molson Centre. Had an incredible time. Maurice Richard rules.
May 03 to Philly to see a couple of baseball games. One of them was a Kevin Millwood no hitter. Saw a game at Camden Yards in Baltimore the same trip. Had a blast.
Can't remember the year, saw 3 games in Arlington at the amazign Ballpark. Incredible.
2006 Seattle. I went to see a McCartney show but caught an NBA game as well. Had a pretty good time, but I am not much of a basketball fan.
2007, flew to Seattle to finally see the Jays play. Caught an extra innings Red Sox game there as well. Safeco is a great place to see a game.
2008, an NFL game in Seattle, got to see my Patriots (sans Brady unfortunately) in the awesome Qwest field. Great crowd, very entertaining game.
Caught (11) Ohio St Vs. (24) Northwestern on the Saturday (I am a huge Ohio St Fan)
Then Bears Vs. undefeated Titans on Sunday afternoon (my bro is a huge Titans fan)
Finished it up with Flames vs. Blackhawks on Sunday Night (Flames lost 6-1. Boo).
Add to that the fact that we stayed with some girls that, uhh, serviced us all weekend. Great times!
I went to a Toledo NCAA game a few years back. This is the only NCAA game I have ever been to and in terms of watching live sports is my viewing priority preference (outside of going to the Saddledome). I would love to see a SEC rivalry game (Saturday night @ Death Valley ranked #1) or going to the big house, horseshoe, touchdown jesus, happy valley, the red river shootout, and Cal's stadium looks really cool built on the side of a mountain and over a fault line!
I have seen a Monday night game in Baltimore (Brett Farve's last MNF game, yeah right), season opening game in Seattle (against my Bucs), and a pre season game in Buffalo.
I have seen a bunch of jays games at the Sky Dome, an Expos game in Milwaukee that happened to be a nationally televised ESPN game where I had a sign that said: 'I'd rather be watching hockey'. I am going to a Tigers and White Sox game in Detroit in a few weeks.
The only NHL game outside of Calgary I have been to was in Boston. We got scalper tickets and the game featured a pre-Sharks Joe Thornton as well as Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby playing together. Very cool game but they would not sell me beer because I had Canadian ID (License and Passport). I WAS PISSEDOFF! Despite this it was a great road trip overall with many more memories.
I would love to see a FA derby match or any other classic match in Spain, Italy, Netherlands, or Germany but I would probably end up dead. The Euro or World Cup may be safer, maybe.

Went to see my first two NHL games this past winter. Left the morning of Hockey Day in Canada and went to the Flames/Oilers game in Edmonton, then made a drive down a few days later for the Flames/Blue Jackets game at the Dome, where I proceeded to bankrupt myself via Flames merch. I'm hoping to go back this winter on my March break, or even in October if I can persuade my Habs-fan friend to accompany me to the Canadiens game on the 6th.
Wasn't a trip meant to be about sports, just a one month, 16 state U.S. trip we did a few years ago and ended up seein a few games.
Oakland @ Yankees at the original Yankee Stadium that ended up goin 16 innings
Green Bay @ Arizona at the old Arizona State stadium
Chargers @ Niners at Candlestick
Considering I'm a huge NFL guy and not really into baseball, its interesting that by far my favourite of the three was the game at Yankee Stadium(though it probably helped that both NFL games were pre-season). That was just such a cool experience there, such a cool atmosphere. I'm really glad I got to see it before they closed it.
Air Canada (yeah I know) is having a sale round trip to Phoenix with flexible dates. Just booked for $330 round trip.
December 3 - Flames @ Coyotes
December 5 - Kings @ Suns
December 6 - Vikings @ Cardinals
I'm already booked on West Jet. Instead of going to a bouncy ball game I'm checking out the Senators vs. the Coyotes on Saturday night. Also instead of going home on Sunday I'm going to LA to see the Flames play the Kings. Should be a great trip!

I am also doing this, already have my football/bball tickets. I'm wondering if we should try and do a group buy so that we can all sit in the same section. Although I won't pay more than 25 bucks for a ticket (considering their most recent promotion).
That looks awesome, rubecube. How was getting tickets to the NCAA? Difficult at all?
I have no idea. My dad gets them. He's buddies with the mayor of his county in Tennessee. The mayor is a UT alumni and apparently shares a box with some other guys.

my sister dated a Vols season ticket holder a decade or so ago. The year Tee Martin was playing and they went to the championship in Tempe. That would have been a fun game to attend.
