Here are my notes on attending the Vipers first home game, but you’ll want to listen for the full sordid story. And Jonah gives his experience on going to the Dragons first home game the week before.

So I get notified Thursday afternoon on my press credential being approved but only for the first game
I email the next day to find out when I could get it since it was supposed to come with a parking pass, but they just said they ran out of parking passes so I was shit out of luck on that one.
No worries, I ain’t paying $20, because there’s a mall that is a mile and a half away so I just parked there and walked my ass to the stadium.
I got there and easily cruised through security where I went up to the press box to get some food. I was very impressed with the food as it was Lemon herb chicken, hanger steak, fingerling potatoes, broccoli raab, and a roll. Plus, all the free Dasani I could get my hands on. I even splurged a little with some lemonade. Right before halftime, I got a cookie and a brownie. Brownie was fantastic.
After I ate, I deemed the press box too boring, so I went to the main concourse to be a man of the people.
Although it started with poor attendance, things filled in fairly nicely as they filled in most of the front half of the lower bowl with more scarcity in the back half.
After the first quarter, I decided I should see what things are like in the press box during the game so I went to take the elevator up, but they had shut it off from the concourse. I had to walk all the way down to the ground level. I wasn’t too worried, just didn’t want to miss too much of the game, so I hustled downstairs, asked somebody where to go, and they sent me through this back door that would lead me to the press elevator. When I went through, I could see the field ahead of me. There were probably six security guards between me and the field, but these were clearly low-level employees, so I just made the decision to march forward and go for it. Sure as shit, I made it onto the field and hung out in the end zone about 20 yards away from Shane McMahon and Titus O’Neil. I was right there as the Vipers scored their first offensive touchdown in franchise history. I made it nearly the entire quarter before I was finally spotted and kicked off of the field. I claimed ignorance, and they just told me to go back to the press box. It was fantastic.
