Referring back the golden eras of his career, “I had two decades of incredible, life-altering experiences. I have so many memories from my time there and memories with people there and I’m creating a new memory with the people there. And to go back to that stadium and bring my kids and my family in a different way, you know, I’ve not been to that stadium in this way ever.”
