Patriots Football Sept 14

As much as a fan of Stryper I am, So is Damian of the Patriots. So off we went to see them play the Buffalo Bills. Game starts at 7pm so we headed off as soon as we arrived (2:30) to avoid the traffic, but to no avail. Already traffic is jammed. People get there real early to tailgate. This is where you have a BBQ party in the car park. Hundreds of them going on. We were going to go to the Pats Hall of Fame, but it wasn't open for game day.

Luckily I was able to get a ticket on game day. We entered the staium a couple hours early and were able to go right down sideline and watch the teams go through some warm ups. The star quarterback Tom Brady missed all of last season after getting injured inteh first game last year and so he got a huge ovation when he came out. Time flew by and it was time to take our proper seats. It took me over 15 minutes to walk from the first level all the way up to the nose bleeds where my seat was. Still it had a really good view of the field.

The game itself was pretty cool. When ever I have watched it on TV it seems to go on forever, with the time outs and clock stopping etc so was expecting the same live. Howeber there is always something going on and never any boring bits. In the second half we were featured on the big screen in a commercial they filmed when we waiting to enter the stadium. The Pats played under themselves for 90% of the game and deep into the last quater needed a score to win, but the Bills scored again leaving the Pats to score twice to win with only minutes left. So a section of the crowd picked up and left. However they missed on hang of a come back. Brady engineered two touchdowns and the Pats won. Man the crowd went crazy. Awesome.
