Come January 14, I'll be sitting in the very location this picture was taken.
One of my first and closest friends after I came to college is a Red Wings fan. For nearly five years we've talked about going to a Hawks-Wings game together, but that's as far as it got.
That changed recently, when during a brew fueled hockey discussion (the best kind of hockey discussion) we decided now was the time we HAD to do it.
On the afternoon of September 1st, Wings tickets went on sale. It was an emotional roller coaster for a few minutes. The virtual box office opened and ticket prices immediately sky rocketed. After some furious mouse-clicking, swear words, butterflies, sweating, and possibly a movement, I found two reasonably priced tickets.
I'm beyond excited to see this rivalry in-person. I can't wait for the road trip, the shady probably-will-get-mugged motel we're staying at, the economy jokes, and the prospect of seeing sad Wings fans en masse.
I've never been to the Joe and I only know a few Red Wings fans. The ones I know are alright dudes, but I have no idea what it will be like inside their rundown mecca, surrounded.
So Hawks fans that have made the trip to Detwat for Hawks-Wings...what's it like?
Comment away.
