Thanks to a donor who has 4 close to the 50. I'm usually a nosebleed ticket, so this was an incredible treat for us.
What an experience!! Got to see the guys on the sidelines up close and personal. Some observations:
- Tillman disappeared for a long time after his injury. Came back later in street sweats and jersey, no noticeable limp, no boot or ice. Was laughing with the other WRs and shaking his head in a way that seemed to indicate "no big deal."
- Sampson had a limp, but stayed in full gear, walking up and down in front of us.
- Navy Shuler looks a lot like his dad.
- Buddy who sat next to me was recently befriended by Squirrel's family. He snapped a bunch of great photos of Squirrel on the sidelines and was sending them to the family across the field, stationed in Section D. They were over the moon that Squirrel not only got to play, but hauled in a 48 yard bomb and later nearly topped it off with a punt return TD as well.
- Comment from Squirrel: "He got my heel, or I would have been gone."
- Roar of the brass section of the band practically parted our hair -- I've never sat so close to the field before.
- Concessions were pricy but OUTSTANDING. Wife and son got lobster and I got steak nachos and we shared some BBQ nachos.
- Up close Byron Young looks like he could deadlift one end of the stadium.
- Quite a treat to have the new Jumbo Tron -- talk about head on a swivel.
- Milton, as you already know, is flat gigantic.
- Nimrod, though in street clothes, looked impressive. Expect big things from him.
- Fantastic experience, and absolutely did NOT feel like the usual cupcake game. Crowd was rocking and you can tell everybody is simply STARVED for a stellar season. GO BIG ORANGE! Here's the pics:
