I wouldn't pay for something and then not get it...on my own choice. <br /><br />I remember when the Heat were in the NBA Finals, with LeBron, and were trailing badly. Many of the fans left, but then the Heat came charging back...the fans that left tried to get back in but they had locked the doors, and didn't let the fans back in. I thought that was one of the funniest things ever. I don't even remember who won that game, I just remember the so-called fans who bailed on their team being all dejected in the parking lot. I'm still laughing about it now, and that was already at least 4 or 5 years ago.Billy Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847326710191224832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-14029782539425520892019-08-17T12:56:18.040-07:002019-08-17T12:56:18.040-07:00Outside of one or two kid created issues, I never ...Outside of one or two kid created issues, I never leave the game early now.

The last game I went to (when my son was just shy of his second birthday) we could only keep him out until the 5th inning. When they are older, and if they want to go to games with me, we'll be staying til the end.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-19138294126737786922019-08-15T19:08:49.933-07:002019-08-15T19:08:49.933-07:00I’m a stay to the end kind of guy.

I did leave a concert one time just before the headliner (George Straight) came on stage. Tim McGraw (and Faith Hill who wasn't on the ticket) were on stage probably half way through when my then wife got in a pissy mood, so we left and went back to the hotel. But, pretty sure never left a ball game early. p.s. sorry I got side tracked.Johnnys Trading Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202597965281782849noreply@blogger.com
