A trip to the Paul Brown Stadium would be more than an experience for Aaron Emrich. It’s the place of his dream job—working for the Cincinnati Bengals.
Brooke Badzin and Aaron, both seniors, had been dating about two years when she decided to make his dream a reality. Brooke, of Leawood, surprised Aaron, Wichita native, with fake tickets at their anniversary dinner in November to the Bengals game on December 28, 2008, against the Kansas City Chiefs. Once she had gotten the real tickets, she flew both of them to Cincinnati, Ohio, for a two-day trip.
Brooke Badzin surprised her boyfriend, Aaron Emrich, with a trip to Cincinnati to see his favorite team, the Bengals, play.
“He was in complete shock,” Brooke says.
Sitting in the sixth row, at the 30-yard line, Aaron remained in awe.
Aaron is a sports management major and sports fanatic, so this anniversary present was more than he could have asked for.
Aside from having a great time at the game, Brooke says they went out in Mount Adams, Cincinnati, and ate at two great sushi and seafood restaurants.
“It’s the best date both of us have ever had,” Brooke says. “We had a great time and absolutely loved the city of Cincinnati.”
