We were very excited when Stephanie found out at the last minute that she could get four free tickets for the Syracuse vs. Minnestota football game this past Saturday.

As you can see we had great seats. We weren’t sure what to expect with “free” seats, but were pleasantly surprised. It was the first football game at the Dome for all of us and it was really cool to experience the roar of over 48,000 people in a confined space.

The boys were already big Cuse basketball fans, but I think this experience opened their eyes to the world of football. Hopefully Syracuse is able to turn their program around this year.

One of the highlights was the opportunity to see the debute of the gritty new quarter back Greg Paulus. He made some very tough and exciting plays throughout the game.

Look for Lindsay!

The game could not have been more exciting. At the end of regulation the score was all tied up.

It’s never good when the visiting team does this at the end of overtime. It was an unfortunate ending to a great game, but was a wonderful experience none the less.

Pre-Game warm up. “Sean go deep!”

“Nathan go deep!”

“*#%^uuhmmph*#!”

Half time: “Dad, did you know that the Giants coach grew up in Waterloo?”

Game over! The Giants win!
