20 September 2007
Due to the magnanimous nature of some of our friends, and the niceties of the boss, Marita Beth & I went to see some Dallas Stars pre-season hockey last night at the American Airlines Center. My boss, despite the work-load hanging over our head, said, "Go. Don't miss your train." So, with a little bit of guilt (that quickly disappeared) and an ear-ache (that did not so quickly disappear), Marita Beth and I went to get tickets for the Trinity River Expressway. The TRE takes us from a train stop very near my office straight to Victory Station. This time around, we bypassed Victory Station and went on to Union Station where we hopped a Blue Line trolley to the West End station. There we met Adam & Bill at TGI Fridays for some before game libations (and food in MB's case). Then we hopped one of the numerous free omnibuses that shuttle folks back & forth to & from the game. Great fun. The season-long seats that Bill & Wendy and Terry & Deborah have are in row P in section 329. As you can see
they are directly on the North End goal line and provide an excellent view of all action in this half of the ice. The far end is a little more difficult to see, but at this height, there's precious little that's not visible. In short, I think were I to buy season tickets to the Stars they might just be in a very similar place. Thanks, Terry & Deborah for offering up your seats to us last night. We had a great time.
Oh, I nearly forgot. I took all of my photos last night with Marita Beth's camera as mine is just too large to carry into a sports arena. I really need to take care of that.
Cheers.
