For someone who’s not what you’d name an enormous sports activities fan, and definitely not a star athlete, I’ve managed to get in numerous journeys to ballparks and stadiums this previous yr.
Over the Christmas weekend, I took considered one of our native bus journeys from Onalaska to Green Bay, to observe the Packers play their final house sport of the common season. Got a brand new Packers cap and winter gloves for the event. As we all know, it was not the perfect night time for the Green and Gold, however they’re nonetheless headed to the playoffs. It was my second journey to Lambeau this yr, after trying out the NFL draft again in April.
My luck with selecting which ball video games to attend in particular person hasn’t been too good, these days. I watched the Badgers at Camp Randall this fall, the night time they had been shut out by Iowa. And I’ve gotten to house video games for the Brewers at Am Fam, and the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, and I discovered myself rooting for the shedding facet. But I primarily get to the video games for the fan expertise, and the journey of attending an enormous sporting occasion. So I’m hoping my luck in selecting video games to attend will get slightly higher within the new yr, and that the groups I like will win extra video games whether or not I’m sitting within the stands or not. I’m Brad Williams.
