I have been to 4 Stadiums - Buffalo season ticket holder, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Miami

As a Bills fan: Memorable game, I like snow games, so the December 1st 2002 Miami @ Buffalo game was pretty awesome a huge blizzard and Bledsoe passed for 306 with 3 td's and Travis Henry had 151 rushing yards and Ricky Williams had 228.

I also liked the atmosphere when the Bills lost 8-0 vs Cleveland in the bizzard last year.

Also a Bills fan. Both stadiums I went to games at were in Buffalo, Rich and the old rock pile War Memorial at Jefferson + Best. 20+ games total, Not a season ticket holder, just older than you

 
I've been to about 15 Browns games, all in the new stadium and all since the expansion team of 1999.

I've seen a lot of bad football, so my most memorable game was more memorable for different reasons than most. It was the 8-0 Snow Globe game vs Buffalo last year. The most fun I've ever had that I never want to have again. Anyone that hasn't enjoyed a 44 oz snow covered brew, I strongly recommend it. :thumbup:

Even though it was a loss and I got pelted with snow/ice balls throughout the game, I enjoyed this game the field was awesome. Tailgating at 8:00am in pouring rain stunk but as it turned around Noon it was an awesome sight! Great game!
 
Most exciting game I've been to recently was Denver/SD earlier this season... I know, I know, the refs blew it, but the energy and excitement at the end of that game was amazing.

 
My father had season tix for the Eagles since I was an infant so I have been to many games down through the years. Hardly missed a home game during the '80's and '90's so if I averaged 7 games a year in those decades I'm well over a 100 games attended, likely going on 200. I've been to the Vet, the Linc, and we treated my father to a game in Lambeau Field back when McNabb was just getting started.

Notable games attended:

Jan, 1981: NFC Championship, Birds defeat Dallas 20-7.

Nov, 1985: Mike Quick catches a 99 yard TD from Jaworski in OT to beat the Falcons.

??, 1987: The strike game when Guido Merkins led the Eagles against Tony Dorsett and the Cowboys. Walked past Randall and Joyner as they picketed. Sorry union guys, I was a kid.

??, 1988: Randall made the single greatest play I've ever seen in person when he takes an absolute missile shot to the knees from Carl Banks, regains his balance, and rifles a TD pass to Jimmie Giles in the corner of the end zone. Happened right in front of me, no more than 40 yds away.

Many other games come to mind, too many to list. I was privileged to see Randall, Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Andre Waters, Wes Hopkins, etc, in their dominant prime. The win over the Falcons in the NFC championship a few years back was great to experience. While I don't make it to as many games as I used to, it's still a treat to see the Birds in person.

I was at Penn State at that time, watching the game with my roomates...who were die hard Giants fans! Good times! :goodposting:
 
Former Patriots season ticket holder back in the late 80's and mid 90's. I've been to games in Foxboro, New Orleans and Baltimore.

Memorable games in no particular order:

SB win over St. Louis in 2001. One of the greatest nights of my life. U2 just added to the experience.

Baltimore vs. Patriots 2008 - Undefeated regular season, in enemy territory, improbable win. Great night.

1996 AFC Championship win over Jacksonville.

1996 Division Playoff win over Pittsburgh. I love when the Pats beat Pittsburgh.

1986 Last game of the regular season, playoff clinching win over Cincinnati. Crowd rushed the field and tore down the goalposts . We were all just running around the field and I got tackled around midfield by a friend I didnt even know was at the game.

 
I think 3 at Lambeau, the best of which was last year's playoff vs. Seattle, and a dozen or so games at Soldier Field.

I was at the GB/Chi game where an enraged Bryan Cox stood in the endzone with his helmet off during an XP.

 
3 stadiums

Best game i ever saw,Giants Stadium when The G-Men beat The Cowboys on the last Saturday of the season and wound up making the playoffs for the first time in forever. Got to see L.T.,Carson and a developing defense. Joe Danelo kicked the winning field goal towards the end zone we were

sitting in,in fact when I see film of the game and that last kick,I can see myself in the stands(7th row) an absolute ROAR when up from that crowd,nobody wanted to leave,everybody just stayed in their seats celebrating.

 
Technically I've been in 3 football stadiums. Old Mile High in Denver, New Invesco Field in Denver, and old Jack Murphy stadium in San Diego, but that was for a Padres game.

I have 2 most memorable games. The last game ever played in the old Mile High was against the 49ers and Denver won that game. The thing that made it memorable was the fact that towards the end of the game, some of the south stands fans tore their bleacher bench type seats out and were holding them up for all to see. Now Denver still had an outside chance of getting a home playoff game that year. if that would have happened, those people wouldn't have had a place to sit for the playoff game. Those were die hard fans in the south endzone, so they didn't need seats anyway. Too bad the fans at Invesco don't have the same fanaticism anymore.

The second game was the playoff game against the Patriots a few years ago. I remember hoping Pittsburgh would beat Indy so we could have the AFC championship game in Denver instead of Indy. Well my wish came true, but the Bus was too much for Plummer and company that next week.

 
I've attended about 15 NFL games. All regular season games, all at Giants Stadium. Three were Giants games. St. Louis Cardinals in the mid-80's, early 2000s vs. Indy, and a few years back against the Dolphins. I saw the Jets play the Steelers in the late 80's. The rest were Jets/Dolphins games. Most memorable game was, you guessed it, the fake spike game.

 
Not including preseason or playoff games, I've been to about a dozen games. Jets fan. I went to an away game @ ATL and one @ BAL (beautiful stadium).

Best game I've been to, by a long shot, was the Jets home playoff win over the Jags in '98 to go to the AFC championship.....which they choked away to Denver in true Jets fashion.

It was Big Ben who was too much for the Broncos that day... He made a maniac out of me, evading pressure time after time after time and converting seemingly every 3rd down the Steelers were faced with.

I've seen the 49ers play at Candlestick, Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum and the Metrodome. Don't know exactly how many games I've been to but I know which one was the most memorable. Oct 9th, 1988 49ers hosted the Broncos. Very sunny but extremely windy day at Candlestick. The Niners were up 13-6 late in the 4th quarter. As people were leaving John Elway threw a TD to tie it up and send the game into OT. The same people came running back into the stadium to watch the rest of the game. Denver ended up kicking the winning FG. I remember thinking that this was the first game that I had seen the 49ers lose since in quite some time.

 
I've been to a handful of games at Lambeau. Most memorable one was so cold I had to leave at halftime.

Been to one game at the Silverdome. Lions/Bears. Barry scored a long TD and I think his shoe fell off on the run.

Most recent game was at Ericksson Stadium in Charlotte. Panthers/Falcons.

 
I've been to 3 stadiums for NFL games, Riverfront, Dolphins Stadium, Paul Brown Stadium. Been to Lambeau for the OSU/UW hockey game which was pretty awesome. Then the Metrodump for a SD/Minny baseball game so if you want to include those.

Best game I've seen.

The high scoring fest between Indy and Cincy when Indy was undefeated in 05. Managed to scalp tickets for $100 per around the 40 yard line in the 400's. Pretty legit seats.

Other games I've seen....

Cincy hosting @ Riverfront:

Minnesota, Detroit a few times (preseason), Jacksonville, Baltimore, Indy (preseason). Been to a few more, just can't think of them since I was young.

Cincy hosting @ PB Stadium

Indy, Cleveland (this season)

Dolphins hosting @ Dolphins stadium

Arizona, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Oakland (this season)

Colts season ticket holder. Most memorable game was the AFC Championship comeback win against the Patriots. Made the watching the superbowl win on TV seem like an after thought.

I've been to Colts road games at St. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Jacksonville and Pittsburgh. Also went to St Louis for MNF vs the Redskins on my 21st birthday.

I had tickets to Colts at Falcons last year, but had to abandon that trip due to a family emergency. My favorite road stadium was Jacksonville. There's just so much to do leading up to the game.

The closest stadiums I have not been to are Chicago and Tennessee. Will try to do those soon.

 
20-30 games

3 Stadiums- WSH, BAL, PHI

Best game- WSH @ PHI, final game of the season on New Years Day. Redskins win and clinched playoff berth.

 
about 15 games

6 stadiums: silverdome, ford field, hoosierdome, georgia dome, qualcomm, U of Phoenix dome

best: super bowls 34, 42

edit: i forgot about last year's super bowl

Have been to about 10 games (not bad being in LA but I caught a few when the Raiders were here). (LA Coliseum, Giant Stadium, Qualcom in San Diego)

Most memorable was the Chargers/Indy Sunday night game last year. Took my son for his 6th bday - spent the pregame showing him the colts players (he knows the Chargers by heart - fave team of his). Sold him on how good manning was.

Manning then threw like 6 picks and near the end of the 1st half, the boy turns to me and says 'Is that still the same QB? I thought you said he was good...'

Even the Colts fan next to us busted up.

Pouring rain, last second miss by Vinitieri - my kids refused to put on a rain coat, wouldn't leave AFTER the game and now has formulated a plan to see Denver in Denver and his dream game is Chargers at Cinci in Cinci - and being there.

Can't much beat that.

Only been to one game when i was 13. Monday, October 5, 1998 - Vikings vs Green Bay.

Watching Randy Moss obliterate the Packers was spectacular! I had some pretty fun stories to tell in school the next day.

 
I'm probably right around 50 games that I've atteneded.

Most memorable would be NFC Championship Game in 2006, Bears v Saints.

 
I've been to 4 games in two stadiums -- one at Three Rivers (seems like it was Steelers vs.somebody off the wall like Seahawks) and three at FedEx (Bengals, my beloved Dolphins, and Rams this year).

One day I'll make it down to Dolphin Stadium. I may make it to Carolina to see the Dolphins again in 2009. We'll see.

 
I've been to 8 games.

Most memorable (positive): 1995, Eagles stop Emmitt Smith twice on 4th and 1. Switzer proves he's an idiot.

Most memorable (negative): 2002 NFC Championship game, Eagless-Bucs, last game at the Vet. Jurevicius is still running down the sidelines...

 
50 + games, my Dad had season tickets to the Chargers in the 70's, I have them now to the Texans. Most memorable game for me, not sure what year, but the Bolts were finally going to beat Maddens Raiders, when Dave Casper fumbles in to the end zone and a Raider dropped on it for a TD. They changed the rule about that in the of season. Beating the Titans today was pretty memorable as well. Been to Jack Murphy, Astrodome, Mile High(the new one) and Reliant.

 
To many games and stadiums.

The one I will always remember is watch E. Smith with my Dad and Son breaking the rushing record.

 
I've been to about 20-25 Pats games, with the most memorable being the 20-3 playoff win over the Colts in 2004. I've also been to 3 away games (Carolina, Miami, & Buffalo, all Pats wins!). It was so easier to get tickets pre-Brady...

 
I'll guess and say I've been to about 25 games, mostly in Buffalo. I've also seen games in both Miami stadiums, in Minnesota, at the Silverdome, at the old Stadium in Cleveland and in Pittsburgh.... so seven different stadiums.

Three games stand out as most memorable.... my first ever game in 1975, last game of the year...Minnesota at Buffalo... Vikings win 35-14 or something like that. Viking great RB Chuck Foreman scores 4 TD but should have had 5 TDs as he fumbled on the 1 yd line. Every time he scored he got PELTED with iced snowballs. Someone hit him in the eye and he was questionable for the following week's playoff game. OJ scored 2 TDs that game and then set the record for TD's in a season.

Minnesota at Cleveland, mid to late 80's?? ....we took a bus trip to the old rock pile in Cleveland, around Dec 10th. It was FORTY BELOW zero...game goes into OT of alllll things :thumbup: , Cleveland lines up for a FG attempt and they do a trick play to a LB'er who runs it in for a TD. We slowly all get to our bus, and even though the driver said, "we leave one hour after the game ends, WITH OR WITHOUT you...", we leave like 3 hours later because two yahoo's are missing. Remembering that the parking lot was right beside the lake and it was now a cool minus 35 only, we broke down about 1/3 of the way home because the falcon gas gauge was FROZEN! Instead of getting home around 10-11 pm, I got home at 6 am.

Tampa Bay at Minnesota, Sept 98..Randy Moss' first pro game ever. Vikings win something like 31-14, with Moss getting 2 TDs. The day before I ran into Cris Carter at "the mall" and I get a photograph with the dude. Also to note, family drove home right after the game.... I ended up with pneumonia.

I was at the first home game to be held at Invesco Field in Denver. A Monday night game against the New York Giants. Memorable because: 76,000+ fans; first Monday night game of the year; hardly any security to speak of; only saw one cop all night long; nobody checked our bags or waved a metal detector over us; blimps and planes flying over throughout the game... why do those details stick out in my mind?

9/10/01

 
1987: Kansas City @ Denver; Mile High Stadium

1989: Miami @ Kansas City; Arrowhead Stadium. Got Michael Clayton's autograph. Lots of good photos of Marino-Duper warming up. Beer thrown at me by drunk Chiefs fan. Good times.

1995: Miami @ St. Louis; TransWorld Dome. First year the Rams were in St. Louis. Christmas Eve. Marino put on a show.

1996: Carolina @ St. Louis

1999: Atlanta @ Denver; Mile High Stadium. Preseason.

2000: Oakland @ Denver; Mile High Stadium. Last Monday night game to be played at Mile High. Elam kicks game winner as time elaspes, which was good because it was 20 below wind chill factor.

2001: NY Giants @ Denver; Invesco Field. First Monday night game of the year and first @ new Invesco Field. The night before 9/11.

2006: Indianapolis @ St. Louis; Edward Jones Dome. Preseason.

2008: Miami @ St. Louis; Edward Jones Dome. Boring game, but my Fins won.

 
I've been to about 80-100 games (mostly Bucs). 17 stadiums. In 2005, I went to every Bucs game, home and away. My favorite game was the 2002 NFC championship game at Philly.

 
I've been to over 100 Steelers home games. My Dad had season tickets since Three Rivers opened and I took them over in the 80s.

I've been to NFL games in 6 different stadiums: Heinz, Three Rivers, Pitt Stadium, Cleveland Municipal, & Pontiac Silver Dome and Ford Field. Had tickets to see the Steelers play at the new Browns stadium but my car broke down on the way :moneybag:

I plan on going on some road trips next year.

Most memorable: The immaculate Reception.

I was a Jags season ticket holder until work schedule changed. Now I go to 4 games a year. Been to Tampa Bay, Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, Lambeau (!). Most memorable game was obviously the one in '96 where a lot of teams were still in the hunt and Atlanta's missed field goal sent us to the playoffs in our second year. The first Monday Night game we got vs Steelers with lots of fights in the stadium. 3 degrees in Green Bay..my toes and fingers thawed out about 3 weeks later.

Most miserable was the AFC championship in Jax in Jan. 2000 when we lost to the Titans for the third time that season and as the day progressed it got cloudier and colder and it started raining while we were trudging back to the parking lot.

Probably ~30-40 games.

I've been to games at:

Silverdome

(old) Soldier

Cleveland Muni

Sun Devil

U of Phoenix Stadium

Rich Stadium

RCA Dome (it was like a cute little mini silverdome)

Qualcomm

Candlestick (tied with Cleveland muni for worst of this group)

 
I think I've been to 7 games, 3 stadiums. Riverfront, Paul Brown and RCA Dome.

Most memorable is hard to pick.

Don Shula's Dolphins vs. Dave Shula's Bengals. Lived in Cincy but had always been a Dolphins fan so it was awesome getting to see Marino play.

Bengals/Titans game but missed half of it because some parapalegic decided to drive a normal van through the fans in the crosswalk and our car was in the yellow tape.

Bengals/Packers game... guy ran on the field and stole the ball from Favre.

About 2 hours before the Colts game, we were eating at Johnny Rockets and Phil Simms and Arman Ketayuan came in for some coffee and talked to us while waiting for it.

I also watched the Greatest Show on Turf and Hakim's 4 TDs destroy the Bengals in a half torn down Riverfront the year they won the Super Bowl.

 
4 stadiums: LA Coliseum (when Raiders played there), Miami, Buffalo, and Metrodome.

I have been a Viking season ticket holder for 9 years. Most memorable. Nov. 2007. I saw two NFL records go down. Cromartie returned a missed field goal 109.75 yards for a TD. And someguy named Adrian Peterson rushed for 296.

Great game to watch

 
I take a road trip to a different stadium ever year the list:

Pontiac Silverdome

Ford Field

Cleveland Brown Stadium

Paul Brown Stadium

Riverfront Stadium

Adelphia Stadium (or whatever Tennesse Titans is called now)

Jack Murphy Stadium

The RCA Dome

Candlestick Park

Raiders/Oakland A's Stadium (what's this called anyway?)

The Georgia Dome

Solider Field

Lambeau Field

Rich Staidum (buffalo)

The most memorable game was the 1991 Detroit vs Dallas playoffs when the Lions actualy beat Dallas, badly.

2nd most memorable was in like 1982 again Lions vs. Dallas when the Lions won on a last second run on the field crazy play field goal by Eddie Murray

I can't even guess at how many NFL games I've been too, since my family has had Giant season tickets since I was a kid.

Probably close to 1/2 of the total Giant home games played since the stadium opened in 1976.

 
Been to the Coliseum (when the Rams played there, and when the Raiders played there), Anaheim Stadium (Rams), and Jack Murphy/Qualcomm, as well as the Rose Bowl (SB XIV) and Stanford Stadium (SB XIX).

Most memorable game was SB XIV, but as far as the regular season games go, the Raiders-Broncos in 1985 was an excellent game. It rained most of the day, and the Raiders won in overtime on a Bahr field goal. Marcus Allen scored on a long touchdown run, Elway drove the Broncos for a late touchdown to tie it. In the 3rd quarter, Bahr pulled off an onside kick to himself to help the Raiders out to a lead. It was a back and forth affair which ultimately decided the AFC West. That game was a blast.

 
Too many games that I can count, mostly at Texas Stadium.

5 different stadiums, and funny that they've all been torn down (well, one* soon-to-be).

Cleveland- Municipal Stadium

Pittsburgh- Three Rivers Stadium

Philadelphia- Veterans Stadium

Detroit- Silverdome

Dallas- Texas Stadium*

Most memorable is easy. At Texas Stadium when Emmitt broke Payton's record. That was special.

20+ for me...all Giants/Jets games at the Meadowlands and about 3-4 at Shea stadium...scary thing is about 15 of them were when I was 12 and under and only about 5+ in the last 22 years...wasted on youth...even went to about 3-4 NJ Generals games (memorable watching Hershel Walker play(. My most vivid on field memory is from about 20 years ago when two Jets D-backs hit a Miami WR and spun him in the air...I literally see that replay on various highlight shows at least once a year and I got to see it in person...it was just as cool as it looks on TV.
