Monday night at Broncos a few years back. The intentional safety game. Givens caught the game winner directly in front of me. That's one crazy stadium that went dead silent at that moment. Awesome.

I was at that game. First game I'd ever attended. We were stuck in traffic for hours before finally getting to a parking "lot" (it was a dinky little yard). We missed the first half but got there in time for the really fun stuff. It was such a great experience with the snow and celebrations. Afterward I remember some Dolphins fans being in denial and shouting insults (wish I could see them again this year). Awesome time.

Last game not so good.Two drunk guys,one on each side of my wife and me.They couldnt afford seats with each other.Sunday night against Dallas,500.00 per seat,we did win though......
Well, I am really going to be dating myself here....but having been to the Razor only once (when they beat the Jests in '03, good game but nothing special)...so I have to go back to Schaeffer Stadium days....my father got tickets through work and then later bought season tickets for a few years...Tough to pick out any game memories, since the Pats really sucked back then for the most part, and I was a bit young....
...Our seats were just about 20 yard line, maybe twenty rows up...awesome seats for half the game. I used to go with a friend and there was a guy next to us with binoculars and he'd let us borrow them to check out the cheerleaders (we were maybe 13 or 14, he and his buddies were doing the same thing...)
I was at the first game after they rigged up the net to catch the field goals, and the first time they tried to raise it, the whole place started booing, and the fans right there grabbed the netting as it was being raised and wouldn't let them raise it, till the cops came...pretty funny stuff....
And even then at my tender age, I remember thinking, boy this stadium blows....lol...nothing but a concrete bowl with rings of aluminum seating....
Anyway, oldrover, not exactly what your thread is looking for, but I'm chuckling to myself as I type...and, I got a pair of tickets for the Eagles game on 11/25, and I am taking my father as an early Xmas present, he's a big sports fan but hasn't been to the Razor yet...maybe that will be the basis of a great memory 25 years hence....
We had one of those football square cards where everyone gets a number for each team. I had Pats 6 Raiders 3
Scrore was 23-23 with seeconds to play and John SMith aobut to hit a chips shot FG.I win $100 excpet he missed the FG
Card was for regulation so 3-3 guy was going to win, EXCEPT the Raiders were off-side. Seccond kick good. Pats win game, I win $100 bucks!
Ha! I love it...
During the first superbowl run a buddy and I did one of those on-line betting services, based in Antigua or some damn place. The one and only time I have ever done anything like. that. We each put up $50 and let it roll, taking the points each time and each walked away with $300. If we had bet straight up, without the points, it would have been ten times that....but who knew?
The blizzard game vs the Phish for me as well. My family and I were crammed into a jeep for better than 5 hours. A friend had prepaid a parking spot for us across from the stadium. We were sqeezed in, in between two RV's. Ran over to the stadium for the start of the 2nd half. Sat behind two Fins fans. They were pissed when the snow started flying. Free tickets to boot!

Favorite memory was the one and only time I bought tix fron Guido the scalper. The '96 Pats played a playoff game against the Steelers in Jan '97. Spent a fortune to take my brother, brother-in-law and my daughter so that she could have a guy thing tailgate experience. She loved it.
Media favored the fat Bus and the Squealers. Obnoxious Steeler towel wavers made lots of noise, that is until the game started and the pounding commenced. Kraft's pre-game fireworks caused the field to be smoked over for the 1st couple munutes it was really hard to see the players. It was foggy anyway and that exacerbated the situation.
Game starts out with a long Bledsoe pass to Theresa Glenn on the 5, and Curtis "Not Yet A Traitor" Martin ran it in. Curtis had a huge game. The D smothered the Squealers QB and the Bus. All ended well.
Worth the small fortune for the tix.
