Yes, I think you have that correct. The key would be where did you leave from and where did you return to.

In this case the service would consider your trip to the game an afternoon comute from your day job. In other words, you would've had to drive home from your day job anyway. To make the trip deductible, return to your job site (and make sure it is logged that way in your mileage log, ) The fact that you keep an accurate mileage log is going to go a long way at an audit.
