Professional Tailgating: Starting the New Year

The OTWT Tailgating Crew kicked of the year by attending a different kind of event. The group headed to the AHL Outdoor Classic game between the Adirondack Phantoms and Hershey Bears at Citizens Bank Ballpark. The attendance at the game was a league record 46,653 people. So it was nice to be part of history. 

Citizens Bank Ballpark looks a little different then it did the last time I was there

 My baseball seats are some where out there 

The Phantoms and the Bears take the ice 

Our seats in section 417 where not that bad for an outdoor hockey game

Alex the Great

Sometimes ESPN hits a home run and that is exactly what they did with the E:60 feature on Alex Ovechkin. The feature really showed what type of character Ovie really is. Rachel Nichols does an outstanding job on the feature. Truly a must watch.
