Last night I got to go to the Ducks game vs. the Phoenix Coyotes. Brad got free tickets through someone at work so we both went. My dad had expressed interest in some Kings tickets Brad had earlier in the week so my parents ended up going too. I think this was my mom's first pro sports event that didn't feature the Dodgers. We met at the Block and headed over to the Pond (I don't care if it says it's the Honda Center, it is and will be the Pond).
The tickets we had turned out not to be normal tickets. We soon found out that we didn't have to wait with the masses of people out front...we got to go in a seperate entrance with a private elevator up to our seats. Nice. As soon as we sat down, a waitress came over and let us know there was no need to go wait in line for food because she'd get us anything we wanted.
We made up for the $3 per person we had to pay for parking very soon after we got there. A blimp was flying around and dropped a couple of cards near us. They turned out to be good for free Togo's sandwiches. Then the lady in front of us was picked to win Carl's Jr. Six Dollar Burgers for her whole row by answering a Ducks trivia question on the jumbotron. When she missed it, they gave the free burger coupons to our row instead! It looks like my next 2 nights to cook are just about taken care of.
The game started off slow, but the Ducks scored 4 times in the second period (including a cool penalty shot) to go up 5-0. The final score was 6-2 Ducks. Brad was a little disappointed that he went to 3 games this week and didn't see a single fight, but overall it was a good time anyway.
BTW: Ric...not only did you miss VIP hockey, but a midget family was sitting by us. Hope you feel better for the next one.
