On the way back you were probably drunk and walked wrong way.
I was at Rockpile as a kid (around 10) during last season from Steelton. Walked there (10.5 mi) for if I got my bike stolen I'd have my butt beaten. Got a partial ride by someone on the way to work who recognized me. Got there late. Did not have enough money for ticket but guy at gate told me to wait and asked me if I had any cigarettes and I told him no just wooden box matches to keep my hands warm. A friend of his came by, he asked for a ticket and he told me the money I had and a box of matches). He got cigarettes from friend. I paid friend and he asked if I had any more matches and I said yes and gave guy at gate a box. Watched until mid-3rd quarter and left because I was supposed to be home for dinner. Got in back of a truck at a light and chased out a few miles down in South Buffalo. I got home late and no supper. No one found out I went to game.
