I was watching a Green Bay Packers game on Monday night football a couple of months back and they said that the bloke currently No.1 on the waiting list for Packers season tickets joined the list in 1970.
Baseball's another matter - I've been to quite a few games (Red Sox, Yankees, Mets) and getting tickets for anything except a pennant or world series game is fairly straightforward. We even saw the Yankees play for $8 each last season. It was, however, in the bleachers and we had to listen to the Yankees fans around us singing about the Red Sox being faggots all the way through, even though the Yankees were playing the Colorado Rockies at the time.

NFL tickets are easy to get, because the Cardinals suck. Looking forward to the new football stadium opening next year, as I go when a good team is in town and my Redskins happen to be coming this year. I have been to a Seahwaks game also up in Seattle. I scalped some tickets to a playoff game for the NBA Atlanta Hawks a number of years ago, but I'm not a big fan of basketball. I did have tickets to see our Suns play the Lakers last year, but was ill and couldn't go. This year is the first year that I will have Partial season tickets to the Diamondbacks baseball. 20 rows back from ther Dbacks dugout. I might take in a few spring training games again this year, seeing that I have the Giants and A's in my backyard.

Re: At The Drive In
There used to be a drive-in on Route 66 at Lexington,Illinois,the next town south of us,it was only a small one,but there always seemed to be plenty of cars there,but the screen got blown down during a very high wind,and they just never put it up again,shame,perfect place ,especially for the teen kids,nothing else for them around here,not like there's anything except bars and restuarants,anywhere near here!
We used to go to one when we were in California,I think it was near Vaccaville,it was great,we always enjoyed it,it was a cheap family evening out,the kids always used to fall asleep in the back seat.
I always used to see them in movies in the UK as well,and always thought they looked pretty good!,shame they've been dying out here....sad!....Sophia(Illinois)
