How many states (and countries) have you seen a sporting event in?

[P.D.X.]

Oregon - Portland Rockies (short-lived MiLB team)

Hope you hit $2 beer night. Those were the days.

Have you really never been to a Red Wings game in Michigan?

Only the Winter Classic I worked at the Big House.

… my dad's cross-country ski races.

Ooh. Do tell.

Oh, well not much, I guess. He dropped DH for XC around 40 and went all the fuck in. Our garage was basically a studio for prepping skis. We'd usually go somewhere in VT or ME for weekends, we'd pack lunch and go on ski journeys on Saturday and then he'd have his races on Sundays. He won a bunch of races in his age division. He was also a great hockey player, marathon runner, and sailor.

That sounds great.

Never would have bet that. Of course when we were coming up Wings games were always the toughest tickets. I probably only saw like 5-6 games at the Joe.

When I was growing up, it was very hard to get Hawks tickets. The joke was that there were 18,000 hockey fans in Chicago, and they each went to every game.

I don't think I ever actually had a seat for a Hawks game at the Chicago Stadium. We got standing room a few times, and that was it.
