yeah, that was a great game as well. I was in attendance as well and not far from you as I was in section 106.Considering that I made this thread, I believe he's referring to me going to the Cards game lol
And yes, I enjoyed every minute of it!
Highlights/Notes:
- Got tix to the Jimmy's Seafood Tailgoat before the game. All you can eat and drink for $50 so it was worth every penny. There was live music, some frisbee game that people were playing, etc. Jarrett Johnson was there for the VIP so we did get to see him, but we didn't have VIP tix so we couldn't get photos or anything. The best part though, hands down, was what happened when were almost getting ready to walk to the stadium. I start hearing a commotion in the crowd and look to see Ed fucking Reed walking through the crowd with a cigar in his mouth. I actually got to give him a pat on the shoulder as he walked by to get to the stage and yelled "REEEEEEEED!" lol
- The seats we got in 117 (right near the player intros) were really good. As already mentioned, it can be hard to see the action at the other end of the field when sitting in one of the corners, but it was still awesome to be that close to the field.
- The atmosphere in the stadium was AMAZING. I made quick friends with just about everyone in my section and the place was ROCKING. I'm actually shocked that I didn't lose my voice after this game because I was yelling like a madman for most of the game lol
- My biggest regret is probably missing the start of the 3rd quarter for a beer run lol. Half-time goes super quick and when everyone is waiting in line for beer, you can lose track of that time. This is why you always see a bunch of empty seats in NFL stadiums when the 3rd quarter starts lol (not including teams like the Bengals which have empty stadiums to begin with)
- Lamar just plays the game at a different speed than everyone else. He made it look so easy that when I saw that he had 120 rushing yards at the end of the game, I was like, "Really? It didn't even seem like that much!"
- I couldn't have asked for a better ending to the game then that clutch throw to Hollywood.
I was almost wishing we scored at the end of the game, because the score made it look closer than it was, but it was the right thing to do.
