What Is the Most Famous Sporting Event You Witnessed?

Ok, I was 14 and selling hot dogs. Agree about the atmosphere. I sold hot dogs 79-81. Great times

Getting into Neyland for free, leaving with a pocketful of cash, loved it.

Well, I made 8 cents a hot dog, so not a pocketful, but I would not trade those times for anything.

I wouldn't say famous but notable. I was at the 1997 Winston 500 in Talladega that went CAUTION Free and was won by Mark Martin with Dale Earnhardt 2nd.

My favorite picture in my office - My Dad had 2 tickets to game 6 of the 1995 World Series. When the Braves went up 3-2, he decided not to go because he wanted both of his kids to have the chance to possibly see a once in a lifetime moment . . . and we did.

1) 1994 Super Bowl in Atlanta. Got to see my Cowboys beat the Bills with Alvin Harper having a big day.

2) 1980 Canada Cup (now the World Cup) with Canada beating the Russians at the old Montreal Forum. Gretzsky was a 19 year old and Guy Lafleur was finishing up his career. Also Mike Bossy and several other stars from the dominant New York Islanders were on that team. Canada won the game 8-3 in what was a phenomenal atmosphere. Oh, and the great Scotty Bowman was the coach of that team.

I was at a practice round for that one. First guy I saw when we got there… Jack Nicklaus playing #15.

Hank Aaron hitting #715. Ironically I had a good Kentucky friend in Atlanta who invited me.

He had good seats to the UK-UT basketball game the next winter!
