I've written before how I am sort of unusual in that I don't really have a particular team I have pledged my allegiance to. Lately, though, I've been feeling a strange pull toward a certain NFL team. I don't know why I'm more interested in this team than any other. It's a very random thing.
I am going to do my best to not become a die-hard fan of this team, but with the passing of each week of the NFL season I find myself more interested in this team and more hopeful for its success.
As I was checking the NFL schedule the other day to see when/where this team plays next, I scrolled down and found a home game against a rival team in the not-so-distant future. There was a link to purchase tickets for this game and so I clicked it. To my surprise, I found a pair of tickets in the lower level of the stadium and in the corner of the end zone.
Here's the kicker: Even before I started having these feelings about this team I thought it would be a great experience to go to a game at this team's stadium. It's historic, unique and sure to be packed with ravenous fans of said team.
Here's the other kicker: The tickets are $175 apiece, and you have to buy both of them. So, I'd have to justify spending nearly $200 (when you consider fees) for one ticket and find a friend who would be willing to do the same.
So, the question is, what's an experience worth? This is sure to be a fun atmosphere and an experience I would never forget, but is it worth it?
You're probably wondering what team and what stadium I'm talking about. Well, here's a hint:
And here's an idea of where the seats are located (red star):

That is a phenominal price for endzone tickets. Especially in THAT stadium.
For that experience, I would definitely pay that...but asking the wife to write the check may be a different story!
For me, many of my greatest memories as a kid were going to games with just me and my dad. Experiences like this are great with a friend, but even better with your child when they're ready.
If Katie's on board, I think you'd have a great time!!
Also, for the record, it does NOT count...slacker!
