I\u2019m a little sad, I must admit. I\u2019m going to my first-ever NFL game in person this week. I\u2019m sad that I\u2019m just now attending an NFL game at the age of 28, but, admittedly, ticket prices for these games are just bonkers and that\u2019s a big part of it.<\/p>\n
My wife has already made me aware that she isn\u2019t thrilled I\u2019m going to my first game without her. That also makes me a little sad.<\/p>\n
