Sports in Denver

What makes sporting events so fun in Denver?

The fans.

I was introduced to Hockey first. I went to the season opener.

The next game I went to was the vs Dallas Stars. They have this “kiss cam” during down times, and it zoomed in on these 2 cowboys. The one guy stretced and put his arm around the other. Dallas fans are good sports.

As a Valentine’s gift, I took Dennis and Jim to the vs Canadien’s game. Got a little bit of a nose bleed. But from any angle, good time.

The next game was vs the Ottawa senators. Wolkski in the box.

Avs vs Redwings, big rivalry. Good seats to watch the fights!

I decided on my favorite player, Cody McLeod, #55, enforcer!!

The highlight of my hockey season was attending this Mile High Gala put on by Kroenke sports. All of the players were there and I got to meet McLeod!!

Represent!

McLeod will generally be found in the middle of any fight. FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!

Dinah and I won a silent auction at the Gala and got to ride the Zamboni!

We also got to stand glass-side during warmup.

Can I be any goofier?

I brought Christine and she got to sit in the BOX during warmups.

I was told that if I like hockey, I’ll love Lacrosse. I have to say… I am a fan.

GET IN THE BOX!!

Nuggets? Not so much. I won tickets to a game at the Gala, and it was so boring. The players are so arrogant and the fans are quiet. The baskets happen so often, people only cheer if the players show off somehow, dunk, etc. The fans also had to be warned ahead of time not to fight each other. What?

Since hockey and lacrosse are ending, I was really hopeful that I’d enjoy baseball. I went to the Rockies opening day and YES, I am a fan. We beat the Phillies 10-2. They won the championship last year!

As you read in a previous post, the kids and I went to the second to last game. They loved it!!

The second to last Lacrosse game of the season. And of course… I had to get a jersey. I found my favorite player, #2 Guze. And yes, he spent alot of time in the BOX.

The last game of the year and yes, Cody is in the box.

After the last game, the players all gave their jereys to some REALLY lucky fans.

I felt like I didn’t give my best as a fan at the last game of the year. It was my 6th sporting event in 5 days. I guess it’s a good thing we’re down to just baseball.
