When I was a young “executive” in the CATV business, we would have access to the luxury boxes at the Boston and Hartford arenas. Because my office was close to Boston, we would often get calls from the NESN rep telling us that the suite was open for an early April afternoon game if we wanted to come in. We would hop on the commuter rail and be there in a half hour.

We were spoiled. The suite is THE best place to watch a game. For us it was free beer and free food. I know someone paid for it...but not us. It was nice to live like a king for a few hours.

Years later I ran a sports photography business. Sitting on the endline for UConn basketball (Both Men and Women) turned out to be the best seats in the house.

No kidding, went to an Oakland A's game, a lady at the Sheraton Palace Hotel bar in San Francisco said they had tickets and could not go she gave the tickets to a buddy and I. One other family there but lots of booze and food for 20 people, it was great. Got to be buddies with the bartender he was happy to be able to watch the game, he order up prime rib for us.

“The suite is THE best place to watch a game.”

They probably watch it on a big screen TV, like us peons, because suites are normally at nose bleed heights where players look the size of ants.
