Not going to list all, but the ones I specifically remember. There are quite a few that were at the same friends' house year after year, with nothing remarkable to remember.
'85
My mom took me to dinner at the Red Baron restaurant in Livermore for my birthday. I was seated so I can watch through the window that separated the dining area from the bar.
'86
At my grandma Frances' house. She wasn't into sports, but she turned it on because "it's the Super Bowl!"
'88
At the Buranis house in Livermore. Everyone cheering for the Football Team because we all hate the Donkeys.
'89
With my dad in San Leandro (I think). Him being a 49er guy that was pretty fun.
'90
Again with my dad, but I was in trouble for something and couldn't watch. Had to listen to him cheer from the room next door.
'91
Don't remember where but I remember all the pre-game stuff and the safety concerns because Desert Storm had just kicked off.
'95
At some friend's apartment in Livermore. Went to the victory parade that followed.
'96
Navy boot camp. Saw a few glimpses through a window to the company commander's office.
'97 & '98
With my Navy buddies in Everett, WA. Very hazy memories...
'99
In a hotel room in Santa Barbara on a port visit. Our Skipper at the time used to be an aide for Reagan (carried the "football") so that was the sole reason we were there. Still can't believe the Navy funded that.
'00
At sea somewhere in the Pacific. Flight Ops finished in time for kickoff.
'01
In the golf course bar and restaurant at NAS North Island in Coronado. Really nice place, but it would have been more fun if The Goose hadn't smashed Gannon's shoulder to ruin everything.
'02
In my apartment in Maryland. Probably still cleaning up after being so pissed at the snow job in Foxboro I chucked a full beer from my couch, across the living room, to the kitchen.
'03
Same apartment. At the following maintenance meeting the next morning had to hear shit from all the senior enlisted and officers. In my head I was giving them all the double-bird.
'05
With a girl I was seeing from Philly, and our cousin Bobbie at a bar. In Philly. One of the more fun times I've had watching football. Saw a man punch a hole in a wall at some point, but remembered it being strangely calm after the Eagles lost.
'09
At a party somewhere and woke up the next day with food poisoning. F'ing Stillers.
'11
In my condo with my friends who are Stiller fans. We couldn't go to the place we usually go because those other friends that host are Packer fans. I remember being happy for C Wood, and one of my friends cried on my porch after.
'16
With my wife in a hospital room- she might have had pancreatitis (not one doctor could actually figure it out) in the end she was fine.
'17
At a party with my wife's coworkers. Left just after halftime and listened to the Falcons gag on the way home.
'24
Will be in a hotel at the Pittsburgh airport with my wife and kids. We're flying to California the next morning, with a layover in Vegas. It'll be the closest I've ever been to a Super Bowl, but I'm also not looking forward to the quagmire that the Vegas airport is going to be. However if the Niners win it'll be cool and maybe I score my dad some merch.
