In July 2009 my friend Chris won 3 tickets to a Patriots preseason game as part of a benefit auction. There were 3 of us bidding, so after he won, he invited us to go. This was my first attendance at an NFL game. The tickets were not bad either, Section 115 at Gillette Stadium. The weather was perfect, and as it was week 4 of the preseason, our scrubs were playing their scrubs. Still, our scrubs won after a shaky start.
