I think tonight makes the top of the list for me, heading to Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals (Magic-Celtics). A potential closeout game, in the conference finals.

What about you? What is the "biggest" sporting event you've attended in your lifetime?

Biggest in terms of hype would be USC vs. OSU this year.

Biggest in terms of monumental, OSU beating Illinois to ruin the perfect season.
