Back in the summer one of my best friends was diagnosed with stage 4 Cancer (colon & liver). It’s not really a question of beating it, it’s more about how to spend his remaining time with his family and friends. We have always talked about going to an NFL game as neither of us have ever been to one in person. With his future time in question he went ahead and made plans for us and let me know about them this past weekend.

We fly out of Halifax this Friday morning at 6:45am and fly to Philadelphia, then to Phoenix and then to Denver. Getting in at 5:30 local time. If we can make it (as long as there are no delays) we are going to get tickets to see the Denver Nuggets play the Minnesota Timberwolves at 7:30pm Friday night.

Saturday we have 8th row tickets to see the Avalanche play the Panthers. After seeing many Moosehaed games I can't wait to see local boy Nathan MacKinnon in the NHL.

Finally, Sunday night we have row 37 seats on the 35 yard line for Kansas City Chiefs against the Denver Broncos. We are just up from the Chiefs bench. The #1 Chiefs vs the #3 Broncos on Sunday night prime time!!!

My buddy doesn't have a favorite team he just loves NFL football, I'm a die-hard Chiefs fan we have both dreamed about seeing a game live forever. He was excited to make it so I can see my favorite team in person, plus he wanted a multi-sport weekend trip so Denver fit the bill. I can’t believe his generosity in paying for all of this, it’s kind of humbling. It goes without saying I'm super excited. Not only will this be a trip of a lifetime, it will be a weekend memory of just me and my buddy that I will have forever. No kids or wives just two guys on an unhealthy eating and drinking sports weekend.

We fly home on Monday Denver->New York->Philadelphia->Halifax. We get back at 11:30pm on Monday. Tuesday is going to be a rough day at work but its a small price to pay.

Is there anything we should really not see while in the Mile High city? We will have some time during the day on Saturday to look around.

This week cannot go fast enough,
