I wanted to start this thread because I would LOVE to see who went to the oldest game that’s on this board. I know some guys are in their 70s so I would guess we at least have some who went to some games in the 50s.
Mine wasn’t very old obviously as I’m only 29, but my first game was when I was 11. I went to the 2000 Season opener against UTEP. I went with my dad. I have never loved a sporting event more in my life then I did that day. I watched Ronaldo Works look like Superman and carry the entire UTEP team into the endzone. My dad bought me a foam finger that I still have to this day. My dad and I sat beside 2 men that looked just like Santa and everyone around me high fived each other the entire game.
The crowd was packed out and we hadn’t even won 10 games in over a decade. That’s why I know our fan base is the best. I was addicted to the environment. I remember it getting dark and them turning on the lights and it was a nice cool summer evening. One day when my dad passes that will be a day that I talk about at his funeral. What an amazing night that was as my Sooner Fandom was born and my blood turned to crimson.
When was your first game?
