Chapter Twelve

‡

Nick and Rachel arrived at the brand-spanking new Mercedes-Benz Stadium at least an hour before kick-off, which gave them plenty of time to wander around and have a look at all the snazzy upgrades. All Nick could think, as he noticed the obvious multi-millions spent on such a facility, was that the Falcons better kick butt this year. If they didn’t, the population of Atlanta, in general, wasn’t going to appreciate their hard-earned tax dollars being spent on such an over-the-top display when there was a perfectly good stadium sitting right next door that was about to be imploded.

There were plans for the old Georgia Dome space, which would be turned into a green space and parking area to be used for tailgating on game days, and as a culture, arts, and music venue during other times. Nick hated to see the dome go, but hopefully, the city would do all they promised to make good use of the area once it was demolished.

Atlanta was his city, and he cared what happened here.

“Wow. This place is amazing. I hate to admit it, but it’s even more impressive than the Superdome in New Orleans, even after they re-did it after Katrina.”

“Now, that is a hostile fan environment.”

She ignored that. “How did you manage to get tickets on the fifty-yard line in the new stadium?”

Nick shrugged. He would save her the gory details. “I saved a guy’s life. He appreciated it.”

“Now that sounds like a story.”

“Let’s just say, he didn’t have much of a chance at surviving a gunshot wound when he came into the emergency room. We gave him our best efforts, and he made it. Now, I have some sweet seats to this game.”

“Sounds like a lot of excitement, and maybe a little danger here,” she said.

“The danger is usually over by the time we get them. We deal with the consequences of whatever bad decisions and poor choices people make that brings them to us. Sometimes our patients are just in the wrong place at the wrong time or wind up in terrible circumstances, like traffic accidents. Lots of traffic in Atlanta. And lots of trauma from the accidents.”

“Have you missed the pace? The excitement of wondering what might come crashing through the door at any moment?” Rachel asked.

Nick hadn’t really thought about that. “No. I guess I don’t. I’ve enjoyed the reduced stress. Not losing patients daily to senseless tragedy has been a relief, quite frankly, and very easy to get used to.”

They purchased their game dogs and fries, along with two giant drinks, then found their seats. “These are incredible seats.”

“Yeah. They’re sold out for the season already if you look on the website. I think these are the kind of season tickets you can’t get unless somebody dies and you inherit them,” he said.

She nodded. “My dad had those kind of season tickets at the Superdome when I was growing up. Being a political bigwig, we were always able to get tickets to anything anywhere. That’s one of the few things I miss about that lifestyle.
