And… No one cares. Ticket prices have dropped a good 40-50% for the 300 sections up near the rafters, and you know what, I’m still not sold on going. It’s a whole lot of work to get down town. Driving, train, and buses all have different schedules, departure locations, and the timing to catch any of those options means we can’t stay to watch overtime play, should the game get that far. If we miss the ten pm train, we essentially have to wait for the midnight bus, and then still have to walk a good portion home, and then get ready for bed. It’s a whole thing. I’d much prefer a weekend game where I don’t have to be up for the school run the very next morning, along with a cranky over tired kid.
If I drive to the train station well south of us, we have no choice but to wait for that line to run again. Which could put us at Union station potentially for hours plural waiting, and all the food court locations shut down by then. No food, no snacks, just two tired folks having to wait too long a time for public transportation. Driving down and parking ourselves isn’t any better. Parking costs more than the bus/train trips combined. Ridiculous. I’d rather wear our jerseys and watch the game at home. No bathroom lines. Cheaper food. Better food.
Oh well, no matter. They came of a five or six game losing streak to win last night. So I don’t fancy this year going any better for them. Time to sell off whatever they can, and rebuild — again.
