Why are you taking part in another Invasion?
It has become my routine to visit Denver and other places again. I don’t visit locations in my small country of Slovakia as often as I visit the US! I enjoy all the time I spend over there, the food, drinks, games, travelling, visiting new places, meeting familiar faces and longtime friends. It’s going to be a lot fun once again!
What are your overall expectations?
I am looking forward to the entire Invasion experience as I do every year – to visiting well-known places, as well as locations I have never seen or been to before (I still manage to find something new, even after so many years). And of course, I just couldn’t miss the Stadium Series game, as well as our short trip to Mexico.
