I got a call on Sunday about 9:30am from Al saying that he had 2 tickets to the Packer game. I said I'd go and we headed up to Lambeau for the 3:15 game. It was my first time going to Lambeau. I had seen the Packers play the Saints in Madison at Camp Randall once for a preseason game, but that was all the pro football I had seen live until yesterday.
The game was great: good weather (64 at game time but with 20-30 MPH winds), the UW Band was there, nice seats (16 rows up in the corner of the north end zone) and the crowd was a bit rowdy. The lady behind us didn't know how to keep some of her inner dialog inside and keep shouting "get 'em!" right into our ears, but that's all part of the game experience. I was yelling, too, on 3rd downs and whenever else the Packers needed my help.
And, of course, they won! They were the underdogs and Indianapolis was supposed to stomp on them but no way. The Packers' defense stood strong.
It was really cool and so glad I got to go to this game. Thanks, Al!
