#79: Attend a MN professional sporting event.

Date Completed:  2/14/2010

So after 22 years in AZ, I moved back to MN in the spring of 2005.  Other than a couple of St. Paul Saints baseball games, I had not actually attended a game since the 80’s.  I haven’t been much of a MN team fan (I’ve been bitter since the North Stars move), but I’ll admit I had a glimmer of Vikings spirit in the playoffs this year.  After that loss, I was much more interested in the Super Bowl commercials and munchies.  Josh and Casey even came over that night to support the 2Girls2Lists cause (see video below) and I love that they wore my Devil gear, but I digress.  Anyway, since this is all about the list, I was so excited to be invited to go with my friend Sharon to see the Wild play hockey on Valentine’s Day.  The game was awesome – serious fights in the second and third periods, a sell-out crowd of >19K and a 6:2 victory.  They even honored the 2010 Olympians from both MN and Vancouver teams.  The seats were amazing – row 9 center ice – and while we didn’t catch any pucks, we did have a blast.  Thanks Sharon, for making this the best Valentine’s weekend I can remember!
