Dallas Stars vs Colorado Avalanche

One of the best things about big cities and Dallas in particular is the amount of pro sports teams they have. Coming from a small city on an island no less, there is little to no chance of spontaneously deciding to attend a pro game. In fact, there is little chance of even attending a game even with months of planning – it is just too expensive and too much of a hassle to leave the island.
So when we got up Saturday morning and Jon asked if I felt like attending the Stars game at 1pm, it was like something of a dream for me! You mean we can buy the tickets on game day? And we can take the train directly to the American Airlines Center so we do not have to worry about traffic or parking? You’re kidding?!? This is the best reason to live in a big city!
The game was good – during the first two periods, the Stars were playing as if the ice was wet cement but they picked up for the last period. They ended up losing 4 to 5 but they put up a good fight.
The train was something else as always – hard to believe you can travel twenty miles in about twenty-five minutes no matter what the traffic is like. Very cool stuff! We even had time between the train into the city and the train to the AA Center to grab BBQ pork buns ‘to go’. Yummy! I have been missing BBQ since I was last in Dallas in June so it was good to have a pig out.
It was a fun day and glad we decided to attend the game. Oh, did I say how much we paid for tickets? $15 each…! The same ticket in Vancouver would have cost $90 at least. Sometimes I love this city!
