Tickets

I'm a traditionalist so I keep my over sized cards in a shoe box.

While I was looking through it I came across four tickets from games I had attended.ITh

We'll go through them in chronological order.

March 17, 1994

The Atlanta Knights were a farm team of the Tampa Bay Lightning.  Best known at first for having a female goalie in their first season the Knights won the IHL's Turner Cup in the 1993-94 seascuon.

I don't remember what happened this particular game but I'm sure the atmosphere in the old Omni was good like it always was.

May 7, 1996

Good ole Atlanta - Fulton County Stadium hosted this game during it's Farewell Season (as noted on the ticket).  The Braves moved to Turner Field the next year.  

According to the box score I looked up the Bravos won in the 10th on a double by fan favorite Javy Lopez.

Hall of Famer Greg Maddux started the game for the Braves and pitched 8 innings.

March 28, 2003

A scoreless game until the 3rd period, the game ended in a 1-1 tie. Dany Heatley scored the Atlanta goal but Scott Gomez tied it later in the period to give the Devils a tie.

I remember I went to the game with a friend from work.

December 16, 2003

This is the last hockey game I've been to.

The poor Thrashers lost 5 to 0.  I've got to believe I did not enjoy this one.

Here is the box score:  https://www.hockey-reference.com/boxscores/200312160ATL.html

I pretty much stopped watching hockey in 2010 when the Thrashers traded Ilya Kovalchuk, my favorite player.

The Thrasher left Atlanta after the next season to become the Winnipeg Jets, making them the 3rd Atlanta hockey team to move to Canada.

I know I have other tickets somewhere that I will scan and, maybe, write a post or two about.

Who else saves ticket stubs?
