Man, what a good time!


So, last night the 5280 Closers enjoyed our reward for Project #2. We were treated to the Colorado Avalanche game against the Vancouver Canucks. Not only did we have tickets to the Key Bank Suite, but we were given a behind the scenes tour of the Pepsi Center.



On top of that we were able to bring a guest to the game, Gini Mennenga hooked us up with passes after the game to get autographs, and it was the debut of Peter Forsberg returning to the ice for the Avalanche.

I had a blast. This was a night of firsts not only for me, but I believe my entire team and all our guests. I had never been to an Avalanche game before, nor have I been in a suite at a game of any kind. Getting the chance to see what happens behind the scenes during a televised sporting event was another first, and to top it all off we had the chance to see the players up front and personal.

Special thanks to Gini and her connections, and the Avalanche's Defenseman, Kurt Sauer, for the passes after the game and taking a little time to chat with us and take a couple of pics. Erin, I want a copy of those pics. PLEASE! All the Avalanche players that took time to sign autographs for us, including the head coach were really cool!

I know some of that was redundant, but I can't help it right now. I felt like a little kid. Thanks to everyone involved with this great reward in one way or another. It was AWESOME!!!
