Mike, I was talking about this last year...

Worked on a Saturday till four for a customer so his equipment could be on a job for Monday am...

Was telling him how my daughter got to be on the field at halftime with American Allstar Cheerleaders or something and what I had to pay for one ticket for the exwife to go with her...

Realizing how I had taken my afternoon to help him when she was visiting with me that weekend, he ponied up two nice tickets for the game...

We sat next to a well-known, rich dysfunctional family from my home town...

The crowd never-got-into-the-game; and when Abby and I started to cheer our heads off, they asked us to be quiet so they could enjoy the game; this wasn't box seats or club loge tickets either...

Saw customer a few weeks later, thanking him, we dicussed the change in the feel of the dome; he agreed about the feel, but said that that family rotates tickets and he gave us two more (my business now takes care of his fleet of equipment) - same result in Dome Feel...

I knew then that with the Superbowl victory we were now in the era of corporate seating and that while the eye candy was great (and each of the Saintsations walking around pregame recognized Abby, stopped and talked to Abby - Bonus) the Dome advantage was gone...

Now, I watch the game at my place where I can cook and my friends and I can walk around, cutting up and enjoying the game...

But the advantage of Home Games is not there...

JP.... come to the Terrace --- this week was the exception, but normally, we are still an asylum.
