But after I took her to only about 2, or 3, Blazers games, she turned to me and asked how much season tickets were.
I asked her why, and she said, "I don't know, maybe we should get some next year. This is fun"
She doesn't want to go to a Barons game now, any more than I do. I didn't just go to games, either. i used to NEVER miss a game on the radio, if at all possible. I went to many away games, as well. I knew all of the players' names, and most of the opposing players. My ex-wife and I once planned a short vacation to Tennessee around the Blazers playing two games there at the same time.
And I am so tired of people who don't know who keeping throwing out "Oh the blazers gave away tickets!"
I can tell you FOR A FACT, as a multi-year Season Ticket Holder, that I NEVER got a free ticket to a Blazers game.
