Same thing for me last year for the home opener. I had been putting off getting the passport (for no reason?) Then my Birth Cert wasn't in good enough condition, so I paid the crazy fee to get a new one fast, then paid the crazy fee to get the passport fast. The wife and I picked up our passports in Toronto (because there wasn't time to mail them) on Friday afternoon and headed to Buffalo for Sundays game. Got to the boarder and the guy says "how old are these"? I said about an hour or so....he gave them back to us and said "you are supposed to sign them you know". oops. Thanks!
