My kids and I were not able to get 3 seats together at the Drake concert.

There didn’t end up being 3 seats together, but Cindy comforted me by making sure to check on my kids during to see if they were alright during the concert. Thank you and well done!

Leah Doaquino, Housekeeping 

Leah was fast to respond to my pages, and very quick in her duties so this interrupted fans minimally as they were enjoying the game. She really is a star!

Tara Balla, Event Host

The usher who has helped my dad so tremendously this year is Tara in Section 114.  My dad has terminal lung cancer and is very constrained mobility wise.  He’s had seasons since the 80’s.  He wasn’t going to go to games this year because he was concerned about his balance while going down the stairs.  We convinced him to attempt at least one game with my mom, and thanks to Tara’s help, he had been back multiple times.

Tara literally supports him all the way down to Row 14 and when my dad said at the first game, “I’m worried that you can’t hold me”, Tara simply said, “C’mon, I grew up with older brothers – if I can handle them, I can handle you”.  That was proof enough.

Further, Tara gave my mom her own personal cell number so that my mom could text her when they were planning to come, just in case they needed a bit of extra help. Wonderful generosity and caring.
