President George W. Bush.
That was the man who was in the Oval Office when I officially took the plunge and signed up for season tickets back in late 2007. I had gone to a number of Rapids games at Mile High Stadium and Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, but to be a season ticket holder—yikes. That seemed like a commitment that I was very unsure of. Back then tickets were a whopping $218 for a year on the East Side and that felt like a ton of money.
And yet, plunging into the unknown I went.
There has been little regret since then.
