Zaragoza - Osasuna
Marocco u21 - Chile u21 at the 2005 world cup. The same tournament that Messi dominated and officially marked him as a future superstar.
My dad took me to Djurgårdens IF - IFK Göteborg in 1996. Djurgården was relegated that year, it was a rough first season as a supporter.

Sunderland 0-0 Bradford City, 1998
Only home 0-0 of the season in a season >we were promoted with 105 points. It was my birthday so I had my name in the match programme.
Probably a Red Wings game when I was too young to know what was happening.
First I properly remember was norwich city vs grimsby at the beginning of the 02-03 season. Went to some random rushden diamonds and dundee united games before that.
>>65871930

Who is this person?
Trenton Thunder 1996
If you count horse racing than that
Derby 1-0 Blackburn in 1999
Think Derby won the first 4 or 5 games I went to see. I was like a lucky charm for a while
ADO Den Haag - SC Heerenveen (2-3) in 2005.
None of you probably know about ADO though because it's just some lower table club in the Dutch Eredivisie but I'll never forget that day for the rest of my life. We lost but I still remember the shivers I got as we slowly walked towards the stadium while other groups of people joined us and I could hear chants echoing in the background as I slowly saw the floodlights of the stadium emerging in front of me.
I was 9 years old at the time and the atmosphere was absolutely amazing, people roaring for 90 minutes long, 2 years later that stadium got demolished and a new stadium with the appearance of a tin can was built, just outside the city in an attempt to modernize and stabilize the club. But the atmosphere's never truly been the same and I feel like the club's lost a bit of its' character. All I am left with now is childhood memories and a heart that bleeds green and yellow.
/nostalgic rant
i dont remember desu
My father and uncle took me to a Reds vs Indians game

Redskins vs. Cowboys
Final game at RFK Stadium
Redskins emerged victorious, 37-10. A lifelong love for the team and it's fans was born.
I helped my dad and his brother remove their 15 year old seats with a wrench so we could take them with us.
I still have a patch of the field framed in my office.
My father will give me the seat as well soon, I hope.
As far as the Redskins go, it's a >we situation in my opinion considering the amount of money >we have spent supporting this team and the decades worth of season tickets >we have purchased.

Some Braves @ Giants game when I was like 6 months old.
I watched the home movie my dad made, it was mostly him giving play by play the whole time.
Shame he ended up going to drugs and booze, seems like a cool guy to have hung out with.
Leeds 1 - 3 Nottingham Forest in 1996, I was 8.
FC Utrecht - Willem II Tilburg in 2006, last Eredivisie weekend of the season.
Got tickets from a neighbor who won them, and couldn't go.
FC Utrecht had a very rocky season, especially when David di Tomasso, arguably one of the fan favorites, died of an heart attack the night after winning the derby against Ajax Amsterdam that year. di Tomasso was called the MVP of the match, which turned out to be his very last match. After that, the team got in a bit of a downward spiral, and didn't score or win for almost two months, before regaining their earlier season form and marched on towards a much converted 5th position, which would mean that FC Utrecht would automatically qualify for the UEFA Cup next year, and even could get a shot at the Champions League by the way of play-offs and qualifying rounds!
Meanwhile, the opponent was Willem II Tilburg, which were locked firmly into 17th place in the Eredivisie, and were thus locked into playing in the relegation/promotion play-offs after the season.
So the match started, the crowd enthusiasm was enormous, since after the match they would hold a memorial ceremony for David di Tomasso, along with introducing the David di Tomasso Trophy for the most valuable player of the year. And in the very first minute of the game, FC Utrecht scored, and the crowd went wild.
It went all downhill from there. FC Utrecht completely collapsed in the second half of the match after Willem II equalized just at half time. It ended 1-4, and Utrecht's dreams of playing European football died right there and then. Even the players themselves couldn't hold their tears back. In the first round for the UEFA Cup play-offs, FC Utrecht got fucking battered by FC Twente 1-5, and FC Twente would get demolished even harder 0-6 by FC Groningen in the following play-off round.
Even the Dutch NT losing the 2010 World Cup Final didn't hurt as much as that did.
FK Zeljeznicar vs Newcastle in 2002 I was like 6. I fell asleep.

some early 2015 regular season New York Red Bulls game.
Had to give up my season tickets for at least the next year; hopefully, by the time I re-subscribe, prices won't be NHL/NBA/NFL/MLB tier expensive

Estudiantes 3 River 0 in the old wooden stadium, can't remember the year(prolly somewhere between 2000 and 2003) My uncle took the me there, I remember jumping on the tablones and watching a goal on the break. I can also recall leaving the stadium in the car and hearing the horns of all of the happy people.

Celtic vs Kilmarnock in 2010. Robbie Keane with a hat trick. Brilliant 3-1 game. Still have been to a Celtic match were we've lost yet.
Devils - ??? Back in 2002. I was with my uncle and everyone was chanting "BULLSHIT" for like 5 minutes at some bad call and I did it, too. My mom found out later and I got grounded for it. Never saw a hockey game live again. Thanks, Mom.

Some charity match in 1998 at the Maracanã.
All I remember is that the blue team had Bebeto and the red team had R9, M. Schumacher and Zico as their front three.

I went to an Atletico MG x Flamengo match at the Mineirao in like 2001 I think. I remember the Galo goalkeeper scored the game winning goal and it was nuts. Good times in HUE land
Los Angeles Clippers @ Sacramento Kings, 1995
I thought each concourse entrance was a different game, that's how young and stupid I was. I thought it was just a coincidence that every game featured a white team playing a red team
Didn't go to any as a kid. When I was like 16 I saw the Lions beat the Seahawks live. Fun game
