The Final Four basketball tourney will be in ATL this year…and I WISH I could go—how awesome would that be?
The drive to the arena would be SO exciting—we would discuss basketball—talk about the past tournaments we have watched…and maybe talk about some stuff we would LOVE to see.
Traffic would be crazy…but heck, what would you expect…it’s the Final Four…no one would expect traffic to be EASY; in fact, the traffic would add to the excitement.
The walk inside would be incredible—you would see fans of various teams yelling and screaming…and it would be obvious who was pulling for what team.
Once you got inside it might be a little intimidating; after all, everybody would not know everybody—but heck, the purpose of being there is to share a common experience with thousands of other people…and I would still experience community with the people I came with.
BUT…what if I went alone…well, no matter…conversations are always easily started in environments like this.
The anticipation before the game would be intense…the bands would be playing & the noise would be getting louder and louder. NO ONE would be late—in fact, for an event like this you would MAKE sure you were early.
Once the game began—IT’S ON! People would be fully involved and the excitement level would be through the roof.
AND if the game went into overtime—WOW—that would be AWESOME.
AND…when the unexpected takes place—well, that gets talked about for years. (Jordan’s jumper, Chris Webbers timeout…)
Leaving the arena would be bittersweet…after an experience like that you would want to savor that moment forever & you want WANT to go back again!!!
Yep, I wish I could go to the Final Four…
BUT…the scenario I just described MAY happen in ATL in a couple of weeks—but it will be happening at NewSpring on Sunday! Be there!!!
