You win.

Pro ........ Some Washington Senators game (MLB, 1970)

College .. Maryland vs Clemson (football, 1978)

Pro : Oakland A's at Cleveland Indians, '74. Dick Bosman pitched a no-hitter for the Tribe and I had no idea what the big fuss was about.

College : can't remember attending any until my first Akron game as a student and probably not until my senior year. And then I was hooked.

Count me in the group that doesnt remember the earliest ones.

NFL: 2009 Giants@Cowboys to open up the new Cowboys stadium with 105,121 in attendance.

MLB: ????@Astros in the late 90s. Dont remember who they played but my dad would take us to at least one astros game every year from when I was in Kindergarten up until like 6th grade.

NBA: 2007 Rockets@Spurs

College Football: Tarleton State vs Angelo State in 2001.

High school football: Who knows? I was probably less than a year old though. My parents would go watch my older cousins play. First game I vividly remember was the 1997 Texas 1A state championship in Abilene.

My dad, a Brooklyn native, was a big Dodger fan, but we had moved to the suburbs of North Jersey and Ebbets Field was too hard to get to from there. So we had to sit in the midst of their sworn enemy who (as it was later discovered) had stolen the catcher's signals to end the previous season with Bobby Thompson's home run.

Sal (the Barber) Maglie was pitching for the Giants, and may have been the Giant most hated by Dodger fans. It was very hard to stomach a couple of years later when the Dodgers traded for him. I was a very disillusioned boy when that happened, and then devastated in 1958 when both those teams bolted for the west coast.

The only thing Dodger fans and Giants fans ever agreed on was that both were more righteous than the Yankees.

Phillies, 1985.

College: University of Illinois, 1991.

College: 1977, Oklahoma vs. Florida State. OU was a prohibitive favorite and only won 24-9. FSU was in its first year under some coach named Bowden. They got better from there.

Pro - Capital Bullets in 1973 (Big E and Phil Chenier)
College - George Washington University in 1976

Pro- San Francisco 49ers at Carolina Panthers1995, in Clemson, SC, where the Panthers played their first season while the stadium in Charlotte was being built. Niners won.

College- Florida State at Clemson, 1992, FSU's first ever ACC game. FSU won by three.

NFL - Dolphins at Steelers, 2017 Wild Card game. I’m still shivering from that game.

MLB - Blue Jays at Braves, June 2011. Saw Tim Hudson throw a shutout and hit a home run

College Basketball - Georgetown at Tennessee in the NIT (2003 or 2004 I think?)

College Football - Florida at Tennessee 2004. I probably went to a Tennessee game before this, but this is the first one I remember. It was a night game, and I was about to fall asleep, and then was woken up by the roar of the crowd as Tennessee kicked a GW FG.

NBA - 2016 First Round 1, Game 2 Dallas Mavericks at OKC Thunder.
