There is nothing better than watching a LIVE hockey game up at the glass! Don't get me wrong, I love all kinds of sports but some are just more fun to watch on a "HUGE SCREEN" TV, like football. But a LIVE hockey game is tough thing to beat. So having grown up in Oak Park, IL and having become an expert, in my day, at playing hockey on the iced over streets in front of our house (yes actually skating on the frozen streets where pucks can do some damage to a parked car, not that I would know...), one just had to make the pilgrimage to Chicago to see the Blackhawks play in the Stanley Cup 2010 Championship Series!!
Needless to say, the trip to the Hawks Cathedral on Madison Avenue became a guys trip for Colin, my son, and I. As my family will attest, as long as it is something that "I" want to do, I do it up LARGE! We had seats six rows up from the glass, in the corner, where the Hawks would be shooting for 2 periods. Ouch $$$ but Nice, Very Nice!
The picture of the Hawks on the ice at the end of the game was taken from that vantage point while they celebrated their win in game number two of their quest to win the Stanley! Not a bad pic in a dark stadium from the other end of the rink if I do say so myself. Don't forget to play Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis as you view the picture! Travel Safe. TJS
