So my wife and I went to see the Detroit Tigers play the Chicago White Sox last night. Since the team has been on fire all season getting tickets is hard these days. I picked up the only available ticket in town which was Standing Room Only (SRO). No big deal, can stand anywhere on the place and if your legs are strong enough to hold out for 3 hours you are guaranteed a great seat for a low price.
We got there and decided to stake out our spot. We ended up in the lower level against the wall on the first base side. We were pretty much right between 1st base and the right field wall. Not bad.
Just as the first pitch was about to be thrown a gentleman comes up to us and asks if we would like to have our seats upgraded by one of being the fan of the game. Okay, sure, why not. Hope the seats are decent.
We follow him to a special area designated for I guess this promotion and wait till the end of the 1st inning. Once it was time we headed over to our section where they announced me as "The Fan of the Game" and put my name on the scoreboard and on the videotron, my wife and I being escorted to our seats by Paws, the Tigers mascot. That was that. Easy as pie. Just a little camera time and my name as big as a mack truck out in left field and we move from SRO to 24th row directly behind home plate. Can't beat that, can ya?
