It always amazes me when sober people purposely get kicked out of Sporting Events for just acting dumb, but this story is worth sharing. Red Wings fan Zach Smith got kicked out of Pittsburgh’s Mellon Arena just after the National Anthem for throwing an octopus on the ice. Well young Zachary had a plan….
Then he got tossed. Security guards threw him out. “You’re outta here,” Smith said they told him. “Come back in and you get arrested.” But Smith and his two friends from metro Detroit, who asked not to be identified, had a plan.
They had bought an extra ticket in anticipation of his booting. That’s an extra $300 from a scalper. And Smith was wearing a regular T-shirt, instead of Red Wings gear, when he threw the octopus. Outside, he quickly threw on a Red Wings sweater and walked back into Gate 3.
“I feel great,” Smith said as he roamed around the arena. “I’m not nervous. Anything with an adrenaline rush, I love it.”
Genius. Seems like a waste of $300 to me but whatever floats your boat.
