Not only did our nose bleed on our way up to our seats......our ears did too.
We were the 2nd row from the very top of the stadium. And like Joe pointed out, at the Pond, there really is no "bad seats". You can still see the game. We just like sitting closer to the ice, that all! It was a great evening. The couple behind us had their well behaved 2 year old with them. She was a doll, we kept feeding each other pop corn. What really blew me away was the 9 year old girl singing the national anthem at the begining of the game.
Yes, a NINE year old girl. That kid had a set of pipes on her! There was not a dry eye in the house and boy did everyone cheer for her.
Now I'm nursing a wee bit of a hang over and wishing I had some of Athena's "mad woman hash" to help me a long. She made that New Years Day and boy did that help. Ugh, I just want to go back to bed!
