RCTID!

Brad's been on a roll with his work raffles - He scored us tickets to see the Portland Timbers take on the LA Galaxy last weekend!

We haven't been to a Timbers game in a very long time. And we'd never had seats in Tanner Ridge - "Tanner Ridge, the flagship level of the eastside renovation, is a luxury club that offers guests the best sightlines and comforts in the stadium. Memberships are all-inclusive for food and beverage so you can enjoy the finest Providence Park experience while you cheer on the Timbers."

I'm so glad I ran into my coworker, Carrie, before the game and learned about the free snacks! I was about to pay nearly $20 for a nacho 😂 We had no idea!

We took full advantage of the free food 😋

And the seats were excellent - right at midfield!

The game ended in a draw, but we had a great time cheering on the Timbers!

Thanks to FLIR for the game-day experience! GO TIMBERS!

Come on, boys!

Brad scored ANOTHER set of Winterhawks tickets!

Last week was Kamloops - so they sang the Canadian National Anthem! (I was missing it at the other games!)

Same great seats as before:

Let's play Hawkey!
The woman in front of us kept yelling "Come on, boys!!" ... over and over ... the whole game! It was really funny!
Clinched a playoff spot!
So fun! 
Thanks for another fun date night at the Memorial Coliseum! And GO HAWKS!
