The Thunderbirds at Five Flags !




On Friday the 6th, we attended a hockey game at Quad City Flames at Five Flags Center, Dubuque. The team we supported was the Thunderbirds from Dubuque.


We had a good place but we were in the middle of teenagers who seemed to be not really interested and were coming and going all the time.


Once again, the match began by the National Anthem sung by a lady. The match began very violently because players were fighting and they bumped into the plastic ledge of the ice rink. There were 2 mascots for each team and a lot a shows ans games were organised during the breaks. Sport is not only a game but it is also a show, entertaining people more than if it was also a simple 1 hour-game.


We had a lot of fun even if I was a bit disappointed by the area we were sat... However, we enjoyed participating in a Dubuque sport event and support our team as temporary members of the community.
