My whole family thanks my dad for that one because they know why I will NEVER LEAVE A GAME EARLY.  

My funny story, or at least ironic one, is that I bought three Bengal's season's tickets the year I graduated college.  PSLs, that is, for the new stadium.  Before a car, house, etc.  I bought tickets.  My father bought one, at my urging, but I paid his PSL.  

I went to almost every game, but as my oldest started playing select soccer, I would give tickets to friends or family so I wouldn't miss her games if on a Sunday.  Sometimes, we just went a little late.

Regardless, during one of the Bengal suckfest seasons, I missed a game and gave the tickets to my wife's cousins.  They live in Springfield, and had never been to a game.  The two oldest boys (now in their 20s and married) went with their dads.  

What game was it?  

Corey Dillon breaking off the then NFL-record 286 yards against the Broncos.

I was actually pretty happy that those kids got to go.  They will forever be fans and I was happy that I got to give them an experience they never would forget.  

Kind of ironic, though.  

1980. My parents had gotten divorced in '76 and me, my sister and my dad moved back here (from Washington state). So, in 1980, my mom comes here to visit and takes me to a Reds game...against the Dodgers. 

Bottom of the 8th, bases loaded and Bench comes up. Reds were behind but i seem to recall it was a close game. Grand slam. 

I was there in right field, green seats. I remember that was one really hot day. 

I think this is the game you guys are talking about.
