Buffalo Bandits!!
Did you know that I'm a Buffalo Bandits fan?? I mean ... I'm not typically into Lacrosse. But I LOVE attending professional sporting events. My mom and a group of family friends have had seasons tickets to the Bandits games for years. This year I went in with them. The games are a BLAST!!
They typically have an almost full house ... almost 19,000 seats are mostly full for every home game. The place is loud and full of energy. I love the music that they play, the announcer ROCKS, and the game is a blast to watch and keep track of.
One of the unique things about the Bandits is that just before they announce the players, they have a bagpipes player (no joke) come out from the crowd (in the dark) and come down onto the playing field. He plays the whole time he's coming down the steps and onto the field ... when he gets to the center of the field, they sync up some loud rock music and it's like a rock & bagpipes duet. (Really! No joke!!) Here is a video that someone else took of the bagpipes player. (This person with the camera must sit near me because that's almost the exact same view that I have....)
I'm so sad that last night was the last game of the season. They will be in the playoffs, but I think I'm going to be out of town for the first playoff game....
