Fun At The UNO Hockey Game

Three of the girls and two of their friends enjoyed the "suite life" at the game.

It's not uncommon – and certainly a nice gesture – for my sister, Bridget, and her husband, Jon, to share tickets to UNO hockey games they sometimes come into. After all, it's not exactly cheap to take five other people to watch the Mavericks.

But Saturday's game was different than all the rest we have experienced since UNO began playing its games in the CenturyLink Center. That's because the tickets Bridget shared with us were in the Luxury Brands of Omaha (Budweiser) suite. Suite 6, to be exact. And it was everything we thought it would be. (Well, minus the free food.)

UNO was playing the U.S. (Under 18) national team in a game that was rescheduled from Thursday night (when it snowed). Though the Mavericks lost, we had a nice time and the girls who went along (Veronica, Olivia and Julia) were joined by two friends, who also seemed to enjoy it.

The crowd was sparse for the game, which was rescheduled from Thursday.

Bridget came to visit Veronica between periods.

Before the game, we made a stop at Taco Bell.
