Like probably so many here, I went to my first MLB and first NFL games there.  It was always so exciting to climb the ramps up and get that first glimpse of the artificial turf.  I remember freezing my ass off at the Denver game during the Bengals' 5-0 "November to Remember " in '81, it was a playoff atmosphere.

I was sad to see it go that day, but PBS was a huge step up.

I remember that first time getting up high enough to see the field. I was probably 8 or 9, eyes as big as 50 cent pieces.
