This is a fun thread. I think I’m 9 and 4 at games. 4 in California, where I live, and I’ve been lucky to see 9 at what will always be Joe Robbie Stadium to me. I’m sad I never got to the Orange Bowl. In California, I saw us in a victory over the Rams in OT in 86, the Raiders in LA in 88, a loss against San Diego down there some time in the 90’s, and then a victory against Oakland in 97. Never made it to Candlestick or where ever the 49ers play now.
That makes me 6 and 3 in Miami...the last being the awesome victory over the Bills in 2005. And that is probably my second favorite which is a whole nother story.
But my favorite memory has to be my first home game, a victory in OT vs. the Eagles on Sunday night in 1990. I saw it alone, my sister went on up to Orlando as a Disney fan, but I made her see the game the next week, a victory vs. Seattle. But after 2 away games in California, seeing my team at home was a great feeling. Not to mention the victory that night gave us our first playoff berth in 5 years. The energy leaving the stadium that night was electric, playing “I want it all” from Queen. For those of you who live near the stadium and see games often, I envy you. There is no greater feeling than seeing your favorite team play in their home stadium. I hope this pandemic doesn’t end that fun and I can see my team again some time in a home game.
