I have immersed myself in a life of music. Everything in my life is music. I decided to change that up last night.
I went to a hockey game. Like a real, legit, Stanley Cup Playoff game. Minnesota Wild vs. Chicago Blackhawks
I hate sports. I don’t get them. I think they’re dumb and expensive and a waste of time. But that got me thinking…. how is that any different than the concerts I go to?
I spend way too much money on the concert tickets… they spend way too much money on sports tickets.
I’m going to lose my hearing from the loud music… they will lose their hearing from the screaming.
I lose my voice on a daily basis screaming for my favorite band… they lose their voices screaming for their team.
Drinks are stupid expensive at venues… drinks are even more expensive at arenas.
People bad mouth certain bands at shows… people bad mouth the opposing team at a game.
There are fights in the pit… there are fights on the ice.
Boys in bands are cute… Hockey players are cute.
I used to give “sports people” so much crap but after last night, I get it.
Everyone needs to have something in their life that they are overly-passionate about… sports games are just their concerts.
Line-Up:
Sausage Fest Meter- 8 out of 10
Crowd Surfers- 1 giant flag
Broken Bones- I think a Blackhawks player broke his leg or he was just being a baby
Drunkards Taken Out By Security- They didn’t catch me
Found in the Pit- Not Applicable

Cool post! I’ve never thought about the similarities of a hockey game and a concert. I’m crazy jealous you got to go to a playoff game! The energy must have been crazy.

Oh it most definitely was. Definitely an experience I am glad to have!

I really like this! I have the same feelings about sports! I never saw the point in chasing an object around! (Like what is really being accomplished?) You have enlightened me about sports it is very similar to concerts but concerts are still better!
