Colorado Avalanche Game 10/4/2013

I happened to have my first Friday night off in months so I decided to go to an Avalanche game. For those of you who know me, I'm not much a sports guy. I don't pay attention to standings, stats, and I can't even name one of the players on the Avalanche. That all being said, I played a lot of sports growing up and I love going to sporting events of just about any kind. 

Before we hit the game, we decided to hit Prohiition for some apps and drinks. I had seen this place on Colfax for the better part of a year but had never really been drawn to go there. This in fact has turned out to be a mistake. I have to admit that I saw it featured on the food network and it looked pretty good. We got a number of happy hour apps but the polenta was the best I have ever had. 

A quick ride on the 16th St. mall shuttle and we were at the stadium 1/2 way through the 1st period. Found some tickets on the street for $35. They were upper deck roughly in the middle. The Pepsi Center is quite well designed and they're are not too many bad seats in the house. With hockey, I prefer to sit a little higher up so you can see the plays develop

During one of the intermission the American Furniture Warehouse blimp decided to carpet bomb the lower sections with $25 gift certificates. Don't know what you can get there for $25 other than Subway.

This random guy next to me caught a shirt thrown from the Copper Mountain Ski Patrol. Good job hommie!

Av's won the night 3-1 against the Nashville Predators! All in all it was a great time and I left with a smile on my face about as big as this random dude. 

Oh yeah. I also picked up a new kick ass Av's ball cap.  Good stuff.  :D

I will be adding to this part of my personal site shortly. Just created this site before the time of this post. Meanwhile, enjoy the pictures on the front page.
