Tonight, Kelsianne and I headed to ReMax Atlanta Stadium to see the Atlanta Silverbacks take on the Charleston Battery in a pro soccer game. I don't think I have been that excited about something in a very long time. We had MapQuested the directions and everything; we were good to go!....
...until we realized how much the MapQuest directions sucked...
According to Mapquest, the drive from Canton to Suwanee should have taken no more than 55 minutes if we drove the speed limit.
Well, we left the house at about 6:10. Wanna make a guess what time we got to the game, which by the way started at 7:55...?
....9:07....
We got lost, went the wrong way, took the wrong turns, and set a world record in U-Turns taken on one trip, which now is 811.
We did however make it there during halftime and we got to see the entire second half!
When we walked up to the stadium, we asked some people where we could buy our tickets. A lady said follow me, so we did. She seemed like she knew what she was talking about. Apparently, she knew some people that worked there. She walked to the front gate, said some words to a bald guy, and then walked in the stadium. She motioned for us to follow, so we did. She then said, "There you go! Let's just say you are my guests for tonight".
We got in for free, and sat on the second row!! The players were right there, the field was right there, the game was right there.....
.....heaven....
Then we had to use our sucky diretions to try to lead us back home. We left the stadium at 10.....
....and got home right at midnight....
A vast improvement from the trip there....
If you are ever in the Atlanta area, you HAVE to check out a Silverbacks game!!
