The Last Sporting Event You Attended?

[Hey Adrien!]

@NDakotaHusky's hero's journey to Omaha got me thinking...

Not counting rec leagues or kids' games, what was the last sporting event you attended?

For me, it was Iona hosting Monmouth on January 26th, 2020. So memorable and eery because I learned about Kobe's death during the game and New Rochelle became the first Covid shutdown in the nation just a month later.

Hoping for some baseball this summer! In September, we still tentatively have a trip planned for my in-laws to fly in to see North Dakota State (wife was born in North Dakota and in-laws are alum and former season ticket holders) play at Towson.

Before today, I watched NDSU play South Dakota State last year in Fargo. Got to see the infamous David Wingett play for SDSU.

I got third row tickets behind the Hornets bench on New Years Eve 2019 as a gift. Very cool experience. The Celtics were in town that day, my buddy and I had the time of our lives.

Edit: Now that I think about it more, I realized that last game I attended was the Women's game between UConn and South Carolina in columbia last year. Had a good time with some buddies. Saw the UConn women at Sonic the night before

Oklahoma City Thunder at Celtics on a Sunday night. Think it was March 8, 2020. I remember people were saying to wash your hands a lot and I saw a guy I know and we went to shake hands and laughed and said we probably shouldn't do that. Little did I know what was coming.

That was the most fun I had at Gampel since I graduated in '08!

Pro: Hartford Yard Goats home baseball game, July 2019 - love that Nectar of the Goats IPA from Hooker Brewing.

College - UConn vs. ECU football @ the Rent, November 2019 - made friends with some ECU fans while tailgating. Did purple and yellow jello shots out of huge plastic syringes.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Couple of HS football games in the fall of 2020.

UConn at Tulane Mar 2020.

 

[JeannoCT]

Went to the MLB college tournament in Arizona, watching UConn baseball play in February. They were exciting to watch and couldn’t wait to go to the new stadium to watch them play. Little did I know that was it.

Yes it was. I remember wondering why there was an announcement that there would be no post game handshake per rules of the AAC. I turned around and asked why? The person behind said “Coronavirus”. I just felt it was odd they let these teams play a game and handle the same ball, but a post game handshake was off limits. The world changed very quickly after that Houston game. But, looking back on it, Im happy I went to that game because little did I know, I would not be able to attend another for a very long time.

 

[Greedo]

UConn at Villanova last January. The thought of being surrounded by that many people seems bizarre now.

 

[Lefty2one]

I too was at Gampel for the Houston game. What a great atmosphere that was.

 

[TXHuskyFan]

UConn at SMU in February 2020. Had tix to the AAC tourney that got cancelled.

 

[gampelcrazies]

Add me to the list for the Houston game.

UConn at ECU - 2/29/2020. Bouknight dunk of the year.

Credit to @tcf15 for the highlight.

 

[BParkDog]

The night Ray Allen was in Storrs getting an award. Maybe Arizona? Was a heck of a good night.
Can't ever see going to any sporting event again, other than UConn basketball, if the mask mandate ever gets lifted.
Lost interest in all pro sports over the last 24 months.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Wesleyan lax game on March 11th right as everything was shutting down

 

[XLCenterFan]

Houston game.

UCF @ UConn at the XL Center
Last game I saw in person we won and it felt like we were just getting over the hump with an above .500 record going into March and getting ready for the AAC tournament. No need to continue the rest of my story because we all know what happened after that. 😕
