I've never been a football fan. Ever. I can watch it on TV for a little while, but I usually get bored. So when Stephen brought home two tickets to a Broncos game, my first thought was, "Fun! A free date! Can't be that boring..."
Thank heavens the tickets came with a parking pass. We got to park SO close!!
I started to realize how cool these tickets were when we got to the "club level". Inside fireplaces, giant TV's, fancy bars... (not that I'd be using them, but still!)
Mmm, nachos. A sports MUST. I used to get nachos all the time when I went to Air Force hockey games with my Dad. Lots of jalapenos are essential!
Had to get in uniform, so I got my face painted!! Stephen was a good sport and got his face painted with me, just stripes on one cheek. The face-painting lady didn't know what to do with herself, she kept trying to convince him to do something fancier. Nope! Oh, and a bottomless Diet Coke. Heaven!! I love Diet Coke :)
That's a LOT of blue and orange! We heard that Broncos fans are nuts... well, if nuts means seriously enthusiastic and TONS of fun, then yep, they're nuts!
Uh oh, the evening clouds are rolling in... Will the rain hold off??
This was SO much more fun than I expected! Somehow it doesn't feel like you're waiting around all the time, when there are no commercials in between. We were jumping up and cheering and booing along with the rest of the die-hard fans. It was a BLAST!!
Even when the rain finally DID roll in! The people behind us bailed, so we stole their row, and were mostly dry... Until the wind would gust a sheet of rain our way! But hey, there were only 8 minutes left on the clock (about half an hour of game time...) so we stayed! And glad we did too, the Broncos just BARELY won!
One of my favorite dates ever. By the end of the game we were fantasizing about season tickets... suffice it to say, I'm hooked! Go Broncos!!
