Would probably fit in Other Sports. Move this if necessary.

Just wanted to know what sporting events you've been to. Mine is a laundry list. Here we go...

+ Five UConn women's basketball games in Hartford. One of the 2004 NCAA women's college basketball regional games. Finals, I think.
+ Two WWE events in the 90s. One RAW and one house show. Two WWE PPVs: '00 No Way Out and '04 Vengeance.
+ Two Hartford Whalers games in the 90s. One was in '96 against Buffalo. I don't know the other.
+ Two Red Sox games. One in '97 against Detroit. One in '04 against Tampa Bay. Tampa story in the Baseball board.
+ A ton of NHL games between 2007 and 2011.

  • 10/20/07 - NY Rangers @ Boston
  • 3/9/08 - Boston @ NY Rangers
  • 10/20/08 - Dallas @ NY Rangers
  • 4/4/09 - NY Rangers @ Boston

+ Two Nationwide events at Loudon. '07 and '08.
+ Various Whelen Modified/K&N Pro Series East races at various tracks. Loudon, Stafford and Lime Rock Park. On the same auto racing theme...
+ Various Stafford, Waterford, Thompson weekly series events. I think I've been to at least 250 events since 2000. I have a lot of magazines.

That's about it. Let's hear your lists.
 
I have attended a couple of events before, but most of it were just charity matches or opening ceremonies for sporting events since it's easy to get in and not too crowded. For the regular matches or huge events I just watch it from my home on the TV. Though sometimes I felt like I want to watch at least a huge match in a stadium before I die.
 
In the spirit of the other sports forum I'll tell you about one unique event I attended and worked at. In 2010 I responded to a job listing, and ended up being a water boy at the West Coast regional championships of ultimate frisbee. It was interesting to watch.
 
Several karate competitions that I participated as well so I don't know if that counts. I also went to see some futsal tournaments but mostly I just go to see football and basketball when Partizan is playing and that is quite often. This is my favourite club and I rarely miss the games. I have been visiting these since I was a kid and even though I can not label myself as a hooligan I really have good friends among these so called vandals. They are actually very good guys.
I have also been to several long distance races and medium distance races but I also participated in these.
