I’m officially on vacation and stopped on my way home for a pint after hearing Supertramp tell me to “Take the Long Way Home”. Some of you younger bucks won’t get that reference.

As I decompress, I was reminiscing about the Lambs and Hawks Thursday night game I was able to fly in and take my son to… just an incredible week of being out there and seeing the Kraken 🦑 🥅 and then the game. Truly an unforgettable memory…

Started looking at ticket prices and noticed the tickets we had, in the general area, already are double what I paid (I bought in like September for December) last year. Is it the opener? Banner raising? What makes it so appealing? Outside of STHs, anyone going?

Go Hawks. I’m about ready for the back-to-back!

All about memories. Sports are great that way. Endless memories with my fam. Esp. my parents.
A small group of us doing the M's/Hawks double dip that day. Won't likely stay more than 6 or 7 innings because we wanna' be at our seats for the ceremonies. But it'll be a blast.

That game was incredible… we were shock, awe, and experiencing total jubilation. My son (who is now 14) said “Dad… you want to get a beer?” as we shuffled out of the stadium.

Yes, son… yes I do!

And yeah I’m sure it’ll be a party that day and kudos to going. I was just shocked at the price… but everyone loves a winner.

Tickets were far higher for the opener than for the next several games, the last time I checked.

You pointed out why. Opener. Banner raising. First game as Super Bowl Champs. Likely a final salute to the Allen family before the sale. Patriots travel well. Good rematch. Take your pick. Combination of all of the above.

Good point on the Allen family.
