I've only ever been to MLB games (probably around 20 Cubs games at Wrigley and one in St. Louis) and one NFL preseason game (in Indy when my sister scored pressbox seats through work).

I have kept meticulous records of "major" (professional sports, major college sports) sporting events I have been to. These records include the score, attendance, most valuable player of the game, miscellaneous notes, etc. I have also kept records of how each team has done in front of me, as well as record at each venue.  While it would be too much to show all my records, here are my records for each of my favorite teams, as well as some of the most notable and favorite games I have been to.

                                              W    L      Streak
Illinois Fighting Illini Football     15   12    W2
Michigan Wolverines Football     7     6      L1
Illinois Fighting Illini Basketball  17   11    W2
Chicago Cubs                           13   9      W5
Chicago Bulls                           4     2      W3
Chicago Blackhawks                 1     4      L3
Chicago Bears                          0    1       L1

2/19/06 Illinois 70 Indiana 58 Sat next to tunnel and met Dee Brown and James Augustine
1/1/07 USC 32 Michigan 18 Game sucked, but it was the Rose Bowl
6/3/07 Cubs 10 Braves 1 Had great moment with my grandparents who loved the Cubs; First win on streak that led to Cubs winning the division
4/5/08 Kansas 84 UNC 66 Final Four
4/5/08 Memphis 78 UCLA 63 Final Four
4/7/08 Kansas 75 Memphis 68 Overtime national championship game; Derrick Rose; Chalmers shot

11/2/16 Cubs 7 Indians 7 Witnessed history as the Cubs won Game 7 of the World Series

You have a winning record at Illini games in both sports?!  Lucky. Sad
