I know how you feel. A few years ago, I had my gall bladder removed, and now when an emergency comes, it’s coming NOW (I have even had a few accidents, thankfully not in public). I had an upset stomach at the ‘dome awhile back, and had to wait the entire intermission to wait out the line for a toilet. Never again!

My last game at the saddledome was game 7 of the Dallas series in 2022. I'm happy with that as my last memory of the place (and Johnny )

Oh man. Rico was an absolute gem!

Gerry Festa was his relative - nephew I believe, but don't quote me.

He knew my dad fairly well, and would always talk about the cure for cancer he found, being his hot sauce, due to the capsaicin in it...

Pills pre-game for about $3.50 each, burger and fries, and he'd always make sure you saved room for pie.

The dot-matrix printed sign, with each page still attached to the prior, announcing the "Old Fashion Home Cooking".

He also was a cheque cashing place for people needing cash on short notice.

Off topic but it's crazy how removing your gall bladder just opens the door to seriously never trusting a single fart.... Ever. Especially if I even just a little bit of an upset stomach.

Not one medical professional even warned me about it…

He comes into my shop now and then. Talks a mile a minute.

Had mine out and have never, ever had that issue. I assume you’ve talked to your dr about that?

Whew I bailed on getting my gallbladder removed a few days before. Glad I did, there seems to be quite a few things that can pop up after having it done...

On Topic - I went to the Dome last year for the first time in close to 20 years and it's just awesome. I go to Rogers a few times a year and the over commercialization of every single square inch of that place is just gross (I'm sure the new arena will be the same). Go! It's a blast.
