Todd and Seth went to the Boston Celtics game on February 10th during our trip. I got Todd club seats for his birthday and he was so excited to attend this game. They played the San Antonio Spurs.
Before the game Seth, Chris and Todd went back to the IMAX theatre to see another movie that Seth really wanted to see the day before. Following the movie, Chris had to come back to Medford to meet us for the Baby Shower. Todd and Chris said that Seth was upset that he had to go to the game with his dad, he wanted to go with us to the shower. Seth had never been to a Pro Basketball game before and was not excited to say the least. His dad told him he was going despite his objections and they headed to the game.
The club level of the stadium in Boston has a sports museum that has various memorabilia from the local Pro teams including the Celtics, Patriots and Bruins.
Todd said that when they arrived at the stadium Seth's attitude completely changed and he really loved the whole experience. He saw some other fans with jersey's on, so he took his souvenir money to the pro shop and bought a jersey. He thought that the game rocked and as you can see was really into it once he was there.
Seth also really got into the Celtics gear while at the game, check out that hat! This is in front of a locker in the museum that had a variety of uniforms that players have worn over the years.
This is a photo of Steve Grogan's uniform. He was a New England Patriot Quarter Back for 16 years and still holds many passing records. He was acquired by the Patriots from Kansas State University in 1975.
Here is the Buddy in his seat at the game. He loved it can't you tell, he really wants to go to another game soon and he had a great time with his dad. We had season tickets to the Arizona Cardinals, our local NFL team, and he liked attending those games but I think he now likes basketball more than football.
This is one of Tom Brady's uniforms, as you know he is the current Quarterback for the Patriots and although they didn't win the Super Bowl this year, we still love him.
This is a photo of Todd's personal favorite Patriots Quarter Back. Drew Bledsoe spent ten years with the Pats and was a first round draft pick from Washington State who. Todd, Melissa, Chris and I saw him in action, defeating the Vikings in a very close game at Foxboro. Todd wanted to leave early, he was upset that they were losing with less than two minutes on the clock. We turned the radio on in the car and were all irritated with Todd's decision because they came back to win after we left. We were fans long before they were the winning team they are today, go Pats!!!
And finally, this is a photo of my all time favorite Celtics player, Larry Bird. It is a life like statue of him shooting a free throw. Bird spent 13 years with the Celtics and attended Indiana State University. I remember watching him play as a child, I thought he rocked.Well, that is a synopsis of the Celtics experience for Todd and Seth during our trip. They are playing the Suns on February 22nd here in Phoenix, so we may try to get tickets. I love the Suns too, so may have to wear both my Celtics and Suns gear to the game. We'll keep you posted!!!
