Overall....the evening went well except for an initial scare.
First good sign....as I pulled into my parking spot...in massive field parking....my fellow lacrosse coach for D6's team pulled in next to me. A HUGE calming effect. Second good sign, well...our head coach didn't wear his coaching shirt with the team logo on it. He wasn't allowed on the feel, so...I lead our pack of 8 year olds onto the warning track at Citifield..found the 'sweet spot' in front of the camera and had all the boys waving on the big screen.
I arrived at will call, received my envelope WHICH HAD ONLY ONE TICKET IN IT. I spoke with the woman there....the outer envelope said 2 tix on it. I was so upset thinking that they erred and gave me one and I would be separated from my son. They gave me another ticket an ENTIRE SECTION AWAY.
Then....STBXW called on my cell: SHE ASKED FOR MY ENVELOPE AND TOOK S8's TICKET OUT AND PUT MINE BACK. I was infuriated. My lacrosse buddy witnessed this and kept me cool. Later on, I realized that where I told her to meet me (having never been to the field before), would have required her to take S8 in. BUT.....no one gave her permission to ask for my envelope and take his ticket.
DB'ing...I showed her no anger and greeted S8 when I caught up to them.
The rest of the game was uneventful. In fact, STBXW seemed cordial. No doubt because her parents and brother were there. I actually sat in the same section with them, but, on the other side. They despise me so there was no communication.. I drove the kids home.
