Being in St. Louis on the eve of my 28th Birthday this year was a blast. The fact that it was also the 1,000th Episode of WWE’s “RAW” made it even better. We had a hotel (Millennium Hotel, St. Louis) which was less than one mile from where the event was taking place, the Scottrade Center. Even though it was only a mile, it was a challenge as it was AMAZINGLY hot in St. Louis that day. We’re probably talking over 100 degrees. Myself and my girlfriend both got showers before beginning the journey, and by the time we arrived at the arena we were covered in sweat. To make things worse, we had to stand outside in the blistering sun for another 20-30 minutes until we were let into the building.

Nonetheless, I wouldn’t change it for anything. Amazing event, great city, great memories. We originally planned on having a few drinks at the arena, but the $10 price tag for a beer, and $9.25, or whatever it was, price tag for a mixed drink made it so we decided to only have one a piece. It’s a common thing these days, but do arenas/venues really have to charge THAT much? Don’t they make enough off of parking, ticket sales, programs, etc?? What can you do though, still loved St. Louis!!!
