2003- Cubs beat Clemens going for win 300

Clemens was pitching well but walked a couple batters and got taken out in the 7th. Yankees were up 1-0. The reliever's first pitch was promptly deposited into the stands by Eric Karros. The reaction after that homer in Wrigley was awesome.

July 1987, Wrigley Field. Andre Dawson is hit in the face by a pitch from Eric Show and there is a huge bench clearing brawl. Definitely the most memorable sporting event of my lifetime as I was a youngster when it happened.

Two best atmospheres I have ever been in (non-ISU).

Don't remember who they were play but by buddy and I had a bet Sammy Sosa would strike out, he took looking and I took swinging. Next pitch he hit a homer to win the game, wrigley went crazy!

Poland versus Czech Republic Euro cup 2012, pre-game and first half. I have never experienced deafening screaming and whistling like that before in my life. 45,000 fans at the game 40,000 were Pols, and it was amazing to witness. Unfortunately the polish players didn't show up in the second half and got beat.

Fizer over Mihm
2002 Iowa (Wasn't at the game, but in a bar in IC. Man the Squawks were out in full force in the first half, by half way through the 4th quarter, the bar was empty.)
2011 Iowa game
