This year my season tickets reached a new milestone:
For most of their history the tickets were my Grandfather's. He taught at the U and if not for the war (the second one) I belive his season ticket holder streak might have been even longer. My great Grandfather actually played for the U (Grandma's Dad, not his). I only attended games after moving to the Twin Cities about 20 years ago and was established as grandfather's gameday partner. We went from him driving, to me driving, to me wheelling him in his char and lowering him in his seat, until he passed a few years ago. He went to nearly every game in the time I was there, including that burtally cold Wisconsin game even though he was well into his 90s...
U was good enouigh to move the tickets into my name after he passed.
