I went to my first football game. Not only was it my first but my first Green Bay Packers game too. It was a preseason game so I am guessing it was not as exciting as it would have been if it was a regular game but it was still a cool experience. We drove a little over an hour to the stadium in Denver to watch them play the Broncos.

We went to the game without tickets, planning on to buy some off the street since general admission was 40 bucks per seat and we, or should I say I, was not willing to pay that much for a plastic folding chair. We did end up spending $40 per ticket but they were seats in the season ticket area which cost $70 each. So we did end up getting a good deal but it was a little nerve wrecking handing over $80 cash to some random guy and getting two pieces of paper in return.
The Broncos display was pretty cool to watch. They had the bronco on the left that blew up and then flames that shot out, we could feel the heat all the way back from where we were sitting.
I must say that physically being at the game is
way more intense and exciting than watching it on TV. Now I understand a little more why Luke spends the amount he does on attending the Packers/Vikings game in Wisconsin.
The stadium was almost totally full if you can see here in the back ground (you may be able to double click on the picture and it will blow up) how full it is. And yes, Green Bay did win which made it even better for the rude broncos fan that was sitting next to us!
