So, Torradan, did you stick around to the bitter end? (I know it was free but geeze dunno as a Sabres fan if I'd have sat through the whole thing)

No, we actually left after the first period. There is something about free tickets that we realized -- not everyone goes there to enjoy the game (win or lose, its always a good time). We were as high up in the ACC as you could get, and there is a little standing room only type of thing behind our seats. There were 5-6 crotchdroppings right behind us making all kinds of noise and banging s*** on the wall. Told them to knock it off, and they finally did, then they just started yelling like idiots. Next to Mish were a pair of people that were eating the food they illegally brought in like a cow chewing it's cud. Soup, sandwiches, crackers, etc.. its like they were having a pic-a-nic, minus Yogi Bear. So we said screw it, and went home.

The best part of the evening was that we got our pictures taken with Johnny Bower! At the tailgate party thing they had going on. It was amazing to be standing right next to one of the greatest to ever play the game. I took a little razzing for having a Sabres shirt/hat on, but oh well!

I've been up in the real nosebleeders as a paying sheep. Trust me, you get that crap up there even then. Best part were the moron fans below us one year, those jokers got so tanked that they got tossed after a period and a half. Now I enjoy a cold one when I'm not driving sure, but what's the point of drinking yourself into a stupor after paying that much to watch the game? Do it at home, its cheaper :P

Frankly I'd rather sell an organ to get reds, that seems to be the right area to get fans who enjoy the game without being obnoxious morons <_<

Heh, yeah, the one thing that MLSEL does right is set up a party. Gonna try and score some tickets this year again, but we'll have to see how things play out (I have this insane desire to grab Saturday night games... it's masochistic I swear :ph34r: :lol:)
