Stanley Cup
In 1908 , the Allan Cup was introduced as the trophy for Canada 's amateurs , and the Stanley Cup started to become a symbol of professional hockey supremacy . In that same year , the first all - professional team , the Toronto Trolley Leaguers from the newly created Ontario Professional Hockey League ( OPHL ) , competed for the Cup . One year later , the Montreal HC and the Montreal Victorias , the two remaining amateur teams , left the ECAHA , and the ECAHA dropped `` Amateur '' from their name to become a professional league . In 1910 , the National Hockey Association ( NHA ) was formed . The NHA soon proved it was the best in Canada , as it kept the Cup for the next four years .
The Bronx
The original Yankee Stadium closed in 2008 to make way for a new Yankee Stadium in which the team started play in 2009 . It is located north - northeast of the 1923 Yankee Stadium , on the former site of Macombs Dam Park . The current Yankee Stadium is also the home of New York City FC of Major League Soccer , who began play in 2015 .
Houston Astros
The Astrodome was host to the 1986 All - Star Game in which Astros Mike Scott , Kevin Bass , Glenn Davis , and Dave Smith represented the host field . The Astros kept pace with the NL West after the All - Star break . They went on a streak of five straight come - from - behind wins . Houston swept a key 3 - game series over the San Francisco Giants in late September to clinch the division title . Mike Scott took the mound in the final game of the series and pitched a no - hitter -- the only time in MLB history that any division was clinched via a no - hitter . Scott would finish the season with an 18 -- 10 record and a Cy Young Award .
History of tennis
The Tournament of Champions was held between 1956 and 1959 , the 1956 edition taking place in Los Angeles and the 1957 , 1958 and 1959 editions taking place at Forest Hills . There was also the Wimbledon Pro tournament held in August 1967 , the first tournament where professional tennis players were allowed to play at Wimbledon .
England at the FIFA World Cup
England 's first qualifying campaign for the FIFA World Cup doubled as the 1950 British Home Championship . The series kicked off for England on 15 October 1949 at Ninian Park , Cardiff , against Wales . Stan Mortensen gave England the lead after twenty two minutes , and just seven minutes later , Jackie Milburn doubled the lead . This was the first goal of Milburn 's hat trick , which left England 4 -- 0 up with 20 minutes to play . Mal Griffiths scored a consolation goal for Wales ten minutes from time , but England held on for a comfortable victory .
Winter Olympic Games
The next Winter Olympics held in Lake Placid , New York , was the first to be hosted outside of Europe . Seventeen nations and 252 athletes participated . This was less than in 1928 , as the journey to Lake Placid , United States , was long and expensive for most competitors , who had little money in the midst of the Great Depression . The athletes competed in fourteen events in four sports . Virtually no snow fell for two months before the Games , and there was not enough snow to hold all the events until mid-January . Sonja Henie defended her Olympic title , and Eddie Eagan of the United States , who had been an Olympic champion in boxing in 1920 , won the gold medal in the men 's bobsleigh event to become the first , and so far only , Olympian to have won gold medals in both the Summer and Winter Olympics .
Basketball
In 1946 , the Basketball Association of America ( BAA ) was formed . The first game was played in Toronto , Ontario , Canada between the Toronto Huskies and New York Knickerbockers on November 1 , 1946 . Three seasons later , in 1949 , the BAA merged with the National Basketball League ( NBL ) to form the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) . By the 1950s , basketball had become a major college sport , thus paving the way for a growth of interest in professional basketball . In 1959 , a basketball hall of fame was founded in Springfield , Massachusetts , site of the first game . Its rosters include the names of great players , coaches , referees and people who have contributed significantly to the development of the game . The hall of fame has people who have accomplished many goals in their career in basketball . An upstart organization , the American Basketball Association , emerged in 1967 and briefly threatened the NBA 's dominance until the ABA - NBA merger in 1976 . Today the NBA is the top professional basketball league in the world in terms of popularity , salaries , talent , and level of competition .
Melbourne Cup
The Melbourne Cup was first run on a Tuesday in 1875 , the first Tuesday in that month .
Winter Olympic Games
The 1976 Winter Olympics had initially been awarded in 1970 to Denver , Colorado in the United States . These Games would have coincided with the year of Colorado 's centennial and the United States Bicentennial . However , in November 1972 the people of Colorado voted against public funding of the Games by a 3 : 2 margin . The IOC responded by offering the Games to Vancouver - Garibaldi , British Columbia , which had previously been an official candidate for the 1976 Games . However , a change in the provincial government resulted in an administration that did not support the Olympic bid , so the IOC 's offer was rejected . Salt Lake City , previously a candidate for the 1972 Winter Olympics , then put itself forward , but the IOC opted instead to invite Innsbruck to host the 1976 Games , as most of the infrastructure from the 1964 Games had been maintained . Despite only having half the usual time to prepare for the Games , Innsbruck accepted the invitation to replace Denver in February 1973 . Two Olympic flames were lit because it was the second time that the Austrian town had hosted the Winter Games . The 1976 Games featured the first combination bobsleigh and luge track , in neighbouring Igls . The Soviet Union won its fourth consecutive ice hockey gold medal .
First indoor ice hockey game
In 2002 , the International Ice Hockey Federation ( IIHF ) announced that it would acknowledge the site of Victoria Rink with `` a commemorative plaque or other historical site marker to remind the passers - by of the existence of the Victoria Skating Rink , the birthplace of organized hockey . '' The commemoration has been marked in two ways . On May 22 , 2008 , a commemorative plaque was dedicated at the nearby Centre Bell , along with a plaque honouring James Creighton . Further , the IIHF created the Victoria Cup , a trophy named for the arena , for which -- along with 1 million Swiss francs -- one National Hockey League team and the champion of the European Champions Hockey League play off annually . The first Cup match was held in Berne , Switzerland on October 1 , 2008 between the New York Rangers and the Metallurg Magnitogorsk . The next , and last , edition of the Victoria Cup was held in Zurich on September 29 , 2009 , between the ZSC Lions and the Chicago Blackhawks .
Super Bowl
A bowl game is a post-season college football game . The original `` bowl game '' was the Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena , California , which was first played in 1902 as the `` Tournament East - West football game '' as part of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses and moved to the new Rose Bowl Stadium in 1923 . The stadium got its name from the fact that the game played there was part of the Tournament of Roses and that it was shaped like a bowl , much like the Yale Bowl in New Haven , Connecticut ; the Tournament of Roses football game itself eventually came to be known as the Rose Bowl Game . Exploiting the Rose Bowl Game 's popularity , post-season college football contests were created for Miami ( the Orange Bowl ) , New Orleans ( the Sugar Bowl ) , and El Paso , Texas ( the Sun Bowl ) in 1935 , and for Dallas ( the Cotton Bowl ) in 1937 . By the time the first Super Bowl was played , the term `` bowl '' for any major American football game was well established . The
First indoor ice hockey game
On March 3 , 1875 , the first recorded indoor ice hockey game took place at the Victoria Skating Rink in Montreal , Quebec , Canada . Organized by James Creighton , who captained one of the teams , the game was between two nine - member teams , using a wooden ' puck ' . Members used skates and sticks used for outdoor hockey and shinny games in Nova Scotia , where Creighton was born and raised . It is recognized as the first organized ice hockey game .
History of the Cleveland Browns
Cleveland 's first regular - season game took place September 6 , 1946 at Cleveland Municipal Stadium against the Miami Seahawks before a then - record crowd of 60,135 . That contest , which the Browns won 44 -- 0 , kicked off an era of dominance . With Brown at the helm , the team won all four of the AAFC 's championships from 1946 until its dissolution in 1949 , amassing a record of 52 wins , four losses and three ties . This included the 1948 season , in which the Browns became the first unbeaten and untied team in professional football history . The Browns had few worthy rivals among the AAFC 's eight teams , but the New York Yankees and San Francisco 49ers were their closest competition .
Houston Astros
The Houston Astros played their first game as an American League team on March 31 , 2013 , where they were victorious over their in - state division competitor , the Texas Rangers , with a score of 8 -- 2 .
MetLife Stadium
On May 25 , 2010 , it was announced that Super Bowl XLVIII was awarded to the stadium , the first time a Super Bowl would be played in the New York metropolitan area , and the first time that a non-domed stadium in a cold - weather city would host it . Further
Winter Olympic Games
The Winter Olympic Games ( French : Jeux olympiques d'hiver ) is a major international sporting event held once every four years for sports practised on snow and ice . The first Winter Olympics , the 1924 Winter Olympics , were held in Chamonix , France . The modern Olympic games were inspired by the ancient Olympic Games , which were held in Olympia , Greece , from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD . Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) in 1894 , leading to the first modern Summer Games in Athens , Greece in 1896 . The IOC is the governing body of the Olympic Movement , with the Olympic Charter defining its structure and authority .
T-Mobile Arena
The Ultimate Fighting Championship 's first event at the venue was UFC 200 , held on July 9 , 2016 . In March 2017 , the UFC signed a seven - year agreement to become an official tenant of T - Mobile Arena . The promotion agreed to host at least four events per - year at the facility , in exchange for receiving permanent retail space and signage .
MetLife Stadium
The first international exhibition match was between Mexico and Ecuador on May 7 , 2010 in front of 77,507 fans . The stadium hosted another international exhibition soccer match between the United States and Brazil on August 10 , 2010 . Brazil won 2 -- 0 in front of a near - sellout crowd of 77,223 ; the game was played on a temporary grass field . The stadium hosted another international friendly , between the United States and Argentina on March 26 , 2011 , which ended in a 1 -- 1 draw and was played in front of a sellout crowd of 78,926 . Another exhibition match in preparation for 2014 FIFA World Cup was played on November 14 , 2012 between Colombia and Brazil , with Brazil acting as the local team despite a higher affluence of Colombian fans .
FIFA World Cup
The FIFA World Cup , often simply called the World Cup , is an international association football competition contested by the senior men 's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association ( FIFA ) , the sport 's global governing body . The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930 , except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War . The current champion is France , which won its second title at the 2018 tournament in Russia .
No-hitter
Vida Blue , Kent Mercker , Kevin Millwood , and Cole Hamels are the only pitchers to start both a complete game no - hitter and a combined no - hitter . Vida Blue no - hit the Minnesota Twins on September 21 , 1970 , while pitching for the Oakland Athletics . He combined with Glenn Abbott , Paul Lindblad , and Rollie Fingers to no - hit the California Angels on September 28 , 1975 . While with the Atlanta Braves in 1991 , Mercker , Mark Wohlers and Alejandro Peña no - hit the San Diego Padres in the National League 's first combined no - hitter . Mercker threw a complete game no - hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers on April 8 , 1994 . In addition to the game above in which Millwood and the Seattle Mariners tied the record by using six pitchers in a no - hitter , Millwood previously threw a complete game no - hitter against the San Francisco Giants on April 27 , 2003 , while with the Philadelphia Phillies . Both Mercker and Blue were All - Stars in the seasons of their combined no - hitters , and Blue also won the Cy Young Award and the Most Valuable Player Award during his career .
Detroit Pistons
On March 12 , 1960 , the Pistons hosted a playoff game against the Minneapolis Lakers at Grosse Pointe High School when no other facility ( including Olympia Stadium , which was booked for Ice Capades , and the University of Detroit ) was available . On April 27 , 1984 , the Pistons played game 5 of their playoff series against the New York Knicks at Joe Louis Arena due to a scheduling conflict . During the 1984 -- 85 season , the Silverdome 's roof collapsed , causing the team to temporarily relocate to Joe Louis Arena for the remaining 15 home games of the season ( March 6 , 1985 through May 10 , 1985 ) .
Stanley Cup
This agreement was amended on November 22 , 1961 , substituting the Governors of the International Hockey Hall of Fame in Kingston , Ontario with the Committee of the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto , Ontario as the group that would name the two Canadian trustees , if need be . In the 1970s , the World Hockey Association sought to challenge for the Cup . By this time , all Cup Trustees were longtime NHL loyalists , and under the direction of NHL President Clarence Campbell the WHA 's challenge for the Cup was blocked . However , notwithstanding the aforementioned legal obligation , the NHL ( considering not only the WHA 's presence but also the rising caliber of European ice hockey leagues ) quietly discontinued calling its champions the world champions .
Winter Olympic Games
The original five Winter Olympics sports ( broken into nine disciplines ) were bobsleigh , curling , ice hockey , Nordic skiing ( consisting of the disciplines military patrol , cross-country skiing , Nordic combined , and ski jumping ) , and skating ( consisting of the disciplines figure skating and speed skating ) . The Games were held every four years from 1924 to 1936 , interrupted in 1940 and 1944 by World War II , and resumed in 1948 . Until 1992 the Winter and Summer Olympic Games were held in the same years , but in accordance with a 1986 decision by the IOC to place the Summer and Winter Games on separate four - year cycles in alternating even - numbered years , the next Winter Olympics after 1992 was in 1994 .
Women's association football
In the United States , the intercollegiate sport began from physical education programs that helped establish organized teams . After sixty years of trying to gain social acceptance women 's football was introduced to the college level . In the late 1970s , women 's club teams started to appear on college campus , but it was n't until the 1980s that they started to gain recognition and gained a varsity status . Brown University was the first college to grant full varsity level status to their women 's soccer team . The Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women ( AIAW ) sponsored the first regional women 's soccer tournament at college in the USA , which was held at Brown University . The first national level tournament was held at Colorado College , which gained official AIAW sponsorship in 1981 . The 1990s saw greater participation mainly due to the Title IX of 23 June 1972 , which increased school 's budgets and their addition of women 's scholarships .
Artificial turf
The solution was to install a new type of artificial grass on the field , ChemGrass , which became known as AstroTurf . Because the supply of AstroTurf was still low , only a limited amount was available for the first home game . There was not enough for the entire outfield , but there was enough to cover the traditional grass portion of the infield . The outfield remained painted dirt until after the All - Star Break . The team was sent on an extended road trip before the break , and on July 19 , 1966 , the installation of the outfield portion of AstroTurf was completed .
American football
On November 12 , 1892 , William `` Pudge '' Heffelfinger was paid $500 to play a game for the Allegheny Athletic Association in a match against the Pittsburgh Athletic Club . This is the first recorded instance of a player being paid to participate in a game of American football , although many athletic clubs in the 1880s offered indirect benefits , such as helping players attain employment , giving out trophies or watches that players could pawn for money , or paying double in expense money . Despite these extra benefits , the game had a strict sense of amateurism at the time , and direct payment to players was frowned upon , if not outright prohibited .
History of the Miami Marlins
On September 6 , 2006 , Sanchez threw the fourth no - hitter in franchise history , beating Arizona , 2 - 0 , at Dolphin Stadium . Miguel Cabrera finished second in the N.L. in batting average , and set a franchise season mark with his . 339 average . Dan Uggla became the first Rule 5 pick to be selected to the All - Star Game in the season in which he was drafted and won Sporting News Rookie of the Year for the National League and won the Players ' Choice award as the league 's most outstanding rookie . Hanley Ramírez won the N.L. Rookie of the Year Award , and Joe Girardi was voted N.L. Manager of the Year . Dan Uggla finished third in the voting and starting pitcher Josh Johnson , fourth ; starting pitchers Scott Olsen and Aníbal Sánchez and left fielder Josh Willingham received one third - place vote each .
History of the National Football League
An annual draft of college players was first held in 1936 . The first televised NFL game was on October 22 , 1939 in a game the Eagles lost 23 - 14 to the host Dodgers at Ebbets Field . It was during this era , however , that the NFL became segregated : there were no black players in professional football in the United States between 1933 and 1945 , mainly due to the influence of George Preston Marshall , who entered the league in 1932 as the owner of the Boston Braves . Other NFL owners emulated Marshall 's whites - only policy to mollify southern fans , and even after the NFL 's color barrier had been broken in the 1950s , Marshall 's Washington Redskins remained all - white until forced to integrate by the Kennedy administration in 1962 . Despite his bigotry , Marshall was selected as a charter member of the NFL - inspired Pro Football Hall of Fame , primarily for the numerous innovations ( fixed schedules , separate conferences and championship games ) Marshall encouraged during his time in the league .
Basketball
The first men 's national championship tournament , the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball tournament , which still exists as the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics ( NAIA ) tournament , was organized in 1937 . The first national championship for NCAA teams , the National Invitation Tournament ( NIT ) in New York , was organized in 1938 ; the NCAA national tournament would begin one year later . College basketball was rocked by gambling scandals from 1948 to 1951 , when dozens of players from top teams were implicated in match fixing and point shaving . Partially spurred by an association with cheating , the NIT lost support to the NCAA tournament .
FIFA World Cup
In 1914 , FIFA agreed to recognise the Olympic tournament as a `` world football championship for amateurs '' , and took responsibility for managing the event . This paved the way for the world 's first intercontinental football competition , at the 1920 Summer Olympics , contested by Egypt and 13 European teams , and won by Belgium . Uruguay won the next two Olympic football tournaments in 1924 and 1928 . Those were also the first two open world championships , as 1924 was the start of FIFA 's professional era .
Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Since the retractable roof was one of the major features and design points of the stadium , some of the problems with the roof have been magnified in the stadium 's first year of operation . The roof , which is supposed to open in as little as 12 minutes with the push of a button , was not fully operational by the time the stadium 's primary tenants , the Atlanta Falcons and the Atlanta United FC , seasons began . The roof was required to be mechanically opened , which was a very time consuming process . As such , the roof was only opened twice in its first year of use , once for an Atlanta Falcons game - a Sunday Night Football game against the Green Bay Packers on September 17 , 2017 and a nationally televised MLS soccer game , when the Atlanta United FC hosted Toronto FC in a sold out game of more than 70,000 fans on October 22 , 2017 .
America's Cup
From the first defense of the cup in 1870 through the twentieth defense in 1967 , there was always only one challenger . In 1970 , for the first time , there were multiple challengers , so the NYYC agreed that the challengers could run a selection series with the winner becoming the official challenger and competing against the defender in the America 's Cup match . Since 1983 , Louis Vuitton has sponsored the Louis Vuitton Cup as a prize for the winner of the challenger selection series .
National Football League on television
The first NFL games played on December 25 came during the 1971 season . The first two games of the Divisional Playoff Round that year were held on Christmas Day . The first game that day was between Dallas Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings . The second of the two contests played that day , the Miami Dolphins versus the Kansas City Chiefs , ended up being the longest game in NFL history . The league received numerous complaints due to the length of this game , reportedly because it caused havoc with Christmas dinners around the nation . As a result , the NFL decided to not schedule any Christmas Day matches for the next 17 seasons .
U.S. national anthem protests (2016–present)
As a member of the U.S. women 's national soccer team , Rapinoe also knelt before an international friendly match against Thailand on September 16 , despite public statements of disagreement with her protest methods issued before the match by the U.S. Soccer Federation and her coach Jill Ellis . U.S. Soccer proceeded to pass a policy that now requires all of its players to stand `` respectfully '' during the national anthem making it the first American sports league or governing body to do so .
FIFA World Cup
Since the 1958 FIFA World Cup , to avoid future boycotts or controversy , FIFA began a pattern of alternating the hosts between the Americas and Europe , which continued until the 1998 FIFA World Cup . The 2002 FIFA World Cup , hosted jointly by South Korea and Japan , was the first one held in Asia , and the first tournament with multiple hosts . South Africa became the first African nation to host the World Cup in 2010 . The 2014 FIFA World Cup was hosted by Brazil , the first held in South America since Argentina 1978 , and was the first occasion where consecutive World Cups were held outside Europe . Russian
