I've based mine on events I never miss
1) Boro's 1st home game of season - can't beat that full of optimism excitement - normally lasts til around 5pm!
2) Football World Cup final - biggest day in sport.
3) Olympics 100m final - a lifetimes worth of work and dedication funnelled into less than 10 seconds. Pure tension.
4) FA Cup final - love the early build up, interviews, Team songs (not done for a while), Abide With Me etc as much as the match.
5) Big PPV boxing match - avid boxing fan. Quite often deliver on the hype.

Of those that i've visited:
1.) The Olympics. An unbelievable and unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was fantastic. Was watching Hockey the evening of the 100 metres final and at half-time there were people running up the stairs to peek over the top of the stand to watch on the big screen with that sort of childlike innocence and enthusiasm that we lose once we become older.
2.) Saints v Pompey. Again, an incredible atmosphere in St Marys. Saints lost 4-1 but the noise before the game was electric.
3.) Darts World Champs, the PDC version. Before it became too lary it was a cracking afternoon / evening. Has gone a bit too far for me now though.
4.) Dublin v Laois in the Leinster Gaelic Football Final. 82,000 in Croke Park. It was a bit noisy!
5.) Watching Ronnie O'Sullivan. Have done this twice. There's something about the guy, everyone is expecting something spectacular so there's a real sense of anticipation.

3. Ryder cup
4. Cheltenham festival
5. Junior golf presentation night at my club......always a great night
The grand national, as a spectacle, and as an occasion, still ranks up there too.
But wouldn't go out of my way ( too much ) for any football match nowadays.
Lost its appeal to me now, unfortunately

Interesting how many stalwart golfers on a golf forum who don't have the Open in their top 5 
1) The Open
2) The Olympics
3) The Masters
4) World Cup
5) The Winter Olympics

The Masters, always indicates the start of the golf season.
TT races, not the best riders in the world but probably the bravest and a truly phenomenal atmosphere
First day of a Test match at Edgbaston, where the real cricket enthusiasts gather rather than the corporates
The Open, 'nuff said
Countryside Meeting at Cheltenham in November, less crowded and fewer p*** heads than the Festival
Of these only The Masters is a TV event for me, all the others you just have to be there..

To be honest, it's a struggle to think of 5.
Isle of Man TT
The Open
The Masters
Six Nations
World Cup
I could replace any of those with the Ryder Cup depending on my mood.

The ones I always look forward to:
1. The Open
2. World Cup Final
3. Tour De France
4. World Snooker Final
5. The Masters
Dropped the FA Cup Final out of my top 5. It used to have a full on sense of occasion, coverage build up would start at about 9am, people would be waiting to watch the teams set off from their hotel, arrive at Wembley, then the streets would go quiet as soon as the game kicked off. It just doesn't have that anymore (pos due to the amount of games now shown live).
