Hypothetical - You have tickets to the final game of every single professional sport, but they are all being played on the same day. Your team is NOT playing in the game. Which do you choose to attend? I may forget some here:

Game 7 NBA Finals
Game 7 MLB World Series
NFL Super Bowl
BCS National Championship Game
NCAA Basketball Championship Game
MLS Championship Game (Don't know if it has an actual name)
Game 7 NHL Stanley Cup
Sunday at either the Masters, British, US Open, PGA Championship
NASCAR? Not sure... let's go with Daytona 500
Other?

No contest - NCAA Men's Championship

If my team isn't in the SB, I'd much rather be at a party than the game.

I'm going with NBA Finals, Game 7. I know it's almost an easy answer b/c they are going on right now, but to see the pure athleticism, with an uptempo game, would be pretty sweet.

Collegiate football wins out for me.

One you didn't list that I would choose over those you did list would be the NCAA Wrestling Championship. That would be my "other".

Sunday at the Masters.

Would love to hear the roars live and in person if someone was charging.

I've been to the NCAA basketball game twice before (you can get tickets for like $30 most years). I would choose between the Superbowl or NCAa Football.

I actually added NASCAR with you in mind, lol. Way to disappoint! Since you are a NASCAR fan, in your opinion, what would be the greatest race to go watch, especially if that race had "championship" deciding factors?

NASCAR's "Super Bowl" is the Daytona 500. But I can go to that any year for $50-$100. It seats 170,000 people. It rarely sells out. So if I have the chance to go to that or the Super Bowl, I'm DVR'ing the race and going to the game.

I love college football, number 1 sport to me. But, I have not watched the last 2 national title games. So, hard to say that one is the winner to me.

I do love the NHL playoffs, and will say they are the best of the pro playoffs. And, the Stanley Cup is the best trophy is all of sports. And, game 7's in hockey are just crazy.
My vote goes to the Cup Finals Game 7.

Game 7 of the Stanley Cup. Hockey is easily the most intense sport when it comes to Game 7's, just absolute insanity for 60 minutes

Champions League final count? I'd do that. If not then Super Bowl because I would have 20 prop bets going.

My old man took me to the 1970 NBA game 7 at Madison Square Garden Knicks vs Lakers which was the most emotional basketball game ever played. Then sometime around the late 90s the NBA started promoting thuggers as the main attraction instead of teams going against each other the game was billed as "Shaq vs Kobe" instead of Orlando vs LA. Allan Inverson who should have been playing for MD State Pen was a star. The entire Fab Five had a total of 22 convictions ranging from drugs & guns to domestic violence. So now we have the NGBA*

*National Ganbangers Association...enjoy the shit league Finals ETB they are right up your alley.

The Russian wrestling nationals would be a blast. May get killed but probably worth the risk.
