I'm glad to hear it.

BTW, Willie Geist's great-grandfather was a Red Wing.

there were corporate tickets available to the redwings, lions and tigers....
there were emails on occasion of free ticks to the company seats....
while in our out state office we couldn't get them to spring for an occasional box of donuts for a staff meeting
we even bought our own coffee.

main office had vendors come in with nice lunches and they would even post the fucking pictures.....

i am still pissed

i should be thankful the checks cashed cause in my industry that was sometimes an issue

My company used to have a lottery for unused corporate tickets (not in Detroit) and for years you could get them for free, but now they charge and they are quite pricey.

Old Olympia Stadium in Detroit.




Seeing Gordie Howe, Alex Delvecchio, Ted Lindsay, and Frank Mahavolich play there was a special treat.

Gordie Howe! The greatest hockey player of them all.
