One of my coworkers called to invite me to a football game.
He had tickets to see the Arizona Cardinals play. I was excited about the game until I saw the daytime temperature was supposed to be 105°. Even in September, temperatures in Phoenix are very warm and uncomfortable. The temperatures don’t start to drop until November or December. A lot of people spend their Winters in Phoenix and the surrounding cities because it is so comfortable during the winter time. During September when the Arizona team plays, it’s still quite warm. I was concerned about the temperatures until I remembered that the Phoenix team plays in a stadium with a roof. There is climate control in the stadium area. There is also air conditioning in the bathrooms. My coworker and I enjoyed the game and the home team won. We went to a bar after the game to sit in the AC. Because we had ticket stubs from the game, we received $1 draft beers all afternoon. By the time I left the bar, I was ready to pass out. Thank goodness the drive home was only 15 minutes, because I did not feel very well after spending all day in the hot sun and then spending all afternoon drinking cold beers. My buddy dropped me off and then he drove back to Phoenix. He has an apartment closer to the city, but I live just south of town. It was fun to hang out with the new guy at work and getting a free ticket to the football game was pretty awesome too.
