​In our travels, Joel and I have been to quite a few doubleheaders.  Depending on the time of year and size of the city you’re in, it can actually be pretty simple to find a way to double up on sporting events (if you’re trying to spend all your time watching sports like us).  A tripleheader, on the other hand, is downright hard.  You need the right time of year, perfect timing, and stadiums in fairly close proximity to each other.  Fortunately, we lucked upon just that in our second to last day of the Midwest Sports trip.  Little Caesars was hosting its first ever college basketball games with a doubleheader featuring both Michigan and Michigan State up against some smaller local teams, and the NFL was having a random set of Saturday games, with Detroit playing in the late afternoon.  The stadiums were within walking distance of each other and the college basketball slate started early, so we embarked on our full day of sports with gusto!

​One thing that people always rave about when it comes to Billings, Montana is how safe it is.  We’re regularly on lists of best places to raise a family because our crime rate is low for as decent sized as we are.  People like to complain about a recent uptick in crime, but I think it’s more of a matter of us seeing the bad things get more airtime via social media than a real spike in bad peeps.  One man’s safe is another man’s sheltered, though, and a lot of people in Montana have an irrational fear of big cities.  My irrational fears fall more in the “that could never actually put your life in peril, you idiot” category, so I can’t really relate, but Joel was more than a little worried about spending a few days in Detroit, and the people we talked to who had been there didn’t do much to ease his distress.  But he begrudgingly agreed to go (like he had a choice), and we started our Detroit stay off with a Friday night Red Wings game in their fancy new arena. I did my best to make Joel feel comfortable by getting a nice AirBnB and reading him articles that said Detroit only has the 10th most murders per capita, so it’s practically safe.  Plus, similar to how calories don’t count on vacation, scary people don’t come out in the winter, right?
