Back in December, I bought two tickets to the Chicago Bulls game against the Boston Celtics scheduled for March 15 at the United Center. My husband and I thought it’d be fun to bring our daughter to her first basketball game. She’d love Benny the Bull’s antics, and I’d get a kick out my husband trying to convince her to root for his hometown team. (That leprechaun? Is that even a mascot?)
Our biggest concern when we bought the tickets was that our 3-year-old would be too tall for the Bulls’ weird, height-based kids policy. Now we’re worried about a pandemic and our financial future.
