It's every fan's nightmare: You lose your tickets to the big game. Noternie reports that's what happened to him last night at the Prudential Center Mall:

... [T]he tickets--in an envelope folded twice and stuffed securely in the front left pocket of my Levi's--fell to the floor of the mall, which I didn't discover until a few minutes later.

We were meeting my brother-in-law and niece who were going to the game separately. They joined us on a frantic search for the tickest in a crowded, urban mall. We asked security, customer service and each of the many kiosk workers if they had seen anything. Nothing. We retraced our path from the car to the end of the mall where I had walked. Nothing.

Talk about sick to my stomach. ...

But like last night's game, this story has a happy ending.
