by Mike Palladino It just seemed right that my beloved New York Giants would open up their new stadium (and the 2010 season) against the Carolina Panthers – a team that improperly closed out the old stadium with a complete and utter beat down, further cementing the lackluster 2009 NYG season. The Giants defense – [...]
Mets Opening Day 2009 It was a brand new stadium, first home game ever there. Mets had a great ceremony. I was in 304 for that game. I really enjoyed the whole atmosphere of the whole stadium. The Mets started the year off before that against the Reds and Braves, so it wasn’t there first [...]
By Melanie McEwen It was Dec.’99 and Sports Illustrated was getting the Greatest Athletes from the 20th Century together. Awards and applause for everyone. I remember this stub mostly for the respect that went out for Muhammad Ali. Lucky enough to be there as the guest of a family member, this was a real treat. [...]
by Donald M. I took off sometime to drive around the Southwest and experience American as far away from culture of NYC as I could without leaving the USA. There are a few places you can still go discover another way of life in the America and the Southwest is one of them. As I [...]
by Albert Fox This ticket was for a Pantera show at the Arcadia Theater in Dallas on July 2, 1988. This was the first show ever that Pantera sold tickets through Ticketmaster for. They always played in clubs before this. I saw Darrell Abbott later that year at a guitar shop in Dallas and he [...]

We waited and waited for Derek Jeter, then he finally does it on a Saturday afternoon June 18, 2005 game at the old Yankee Stadium against the NL Cubbies. In the bottom of the 6th with 1 out he hits his 1st Grand Slam. He had been at bat 135 times with the bases loaded [...]
When studying in Roma, for a class evening out we when to the Roma Opera to see the original cast in the Pierre Lacotte reconstruction of Maziler’s choreography ballet of the 1857 Daniel Auber’s opera Marco Spada. It premiered on March 15, 1981; we attended the March 21, 1981 performance. The original cast included Nureyev [...]
I was working for an Architectural firm in Westchester County, NY that had the contract to redesign and update the County Center in White Plains, NY. When the project was completed the County held a Gala Celebration Concert headlining Liza Minnelli on April 30, 1988. I asked a friend if she knew anyone who would [...]
Cosi Fan Tutte was the first and second to last opera I have seen. I can say I’m not a fan of the opera, but one thing I will tell you if you have never been, know the story before you go. As a student studying Architecture this was a class trip where we when [...]
