But, the best tickets I ever had were my season in the 18th row on the 45. Far enough back to see the entire field, but close enough to see the facial expressions on the losing teams' faces.

Not Bob confession moment. I just don't like watching football live. You can see the game better on TV. College doesn't count -- I went to one of those square state, land grant football factory schools for undergrad, but for me football games there were more about school spirit. Oh, and passing co-eds to the upper level, and getting drunk on kamikazes at Ugly John's Saloon across the street from the stadium during halftime.
Baseball live is great. A seat along first or third, close enough to hear the cracks, a beer, peanuts ... good. Hockey live is even better. I like behind the goalie, close enough to flinch as the pucks smack into the glass during warm-ups. I enjoy watching the goalie -- and there is nothing like the excitement of a breakaway or a penalty shot coming at you.
