As you know, my husband is THE BOMB! But this birthday present totally confirmed it. Michigan Football Tickets!?! Are you kidding me? Does this guy love me or what? And we only had to drive to Dallas for the game. What?! This year the "cowboy classic" was between michigan and alabama. What a great time to be in Texas!
We had standing room only seats, which meant that we needed to be early in order to get a spot where we could actually see the field. We ended up getting to the stadium about an hour and a half before the game and found a spot behind 4 short-ish Bama fans. When looking between the heads of 2 of them I could see most of the field most of the time. I was a little worried when my legs started to feel tired before the game even started, but once the teams were on the field I was so elated that leg pain was the last thing on my mind!
Things started out awesome. We stopped Bama on their first drive and we looked like we were going to give them a good game. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. We didn't play great, but the stadium was so insane! We were very glad that it was inside and air conditioned because it was a HOT day.
The michigan fans to our left decided to drown their sorrows in beer. WOW. there was a LOT of alcohol being consumed! This photo was taken after the first quarter! Yikes.
Preston and I couldn't help but notice the classiness of the Bama fans. I have NEVER seen so many fashionably dressed people at a football game! I mean, literally all the girls had dresses or skirts on with bows in their hair, perfect make-up, gorgeous hair, stylish jewelry. Wow. It was crazy! The guys were in dress shirts with bow ties or polos or red and white checkered button up shirts. I felt very underdressed, but at least comfortable during our 5 hours of standing!
We got massacred and it was a very discouraging start to the season, but it was still great to see them play live and in such an awesome stadium. Thanks for an amazing night hubby!
