A man received a free ticket to a Pittsburgh Steelers home game from his
company. Unfortunately, when he arrived at Heinz Field, he realized his
seat was in the upper deck and was closer to the Goodyear Blimp than it
was to the playing field.
Near the end of the first quarter, he spotted an empty seat 10 rows
from the field right at the 50-yard line. He decided to go for it. He
snaked his way down the stadium, past the security guards, and made it
to the empty seat.
He asked the elderly gentleman next to the empty seat if the seat was being saved for someone, and the man said no.
Very excited, he sat down in the seat and said to the elderly man,
"This is incredible! Who in their right mind would have a seat like this
and not use it?"
The elderly man responded, "Actually, the seat belongs to my wife.
But she passed away recently, and this is the first Steelers game we
haven't attended together in almost 50 years of marriage."
The man, now feeling a little guilty to be in the empty seat said,
"That's really sad. But, still, couldn't you find a good friend or a
close relative to take the seat?"
"No," the elderly man replied, "they're all at the funeral."
