Huskers RULE!!!

So Keegan and I went to the Nebraska-Minnesota football game over the weekend, thanks to a friend of mine who was willing to sell me a couple of tickets :). Really we both had a pretty good time, though Keegan still doesn't really understand football, he was able to enjoy himself.

So here is the rundown. First parking sucks down there for a football game, it took us probably half an hour to find a place to park, and that was after asking a police man who was directing traffic where you could actually find parking. From the parking spot, it was a long walk to the stadium, but there was lots to see because there were a lot of tailgating people for both teams. It also happened to be homecoming for Minnesota (what the heck where they thinking?). So after the long walk to the stadium, and finally hooking up with the ticket supplier. So while the other guy and I are talking, Keegan is rolling down a small hill in front of Williams arena. We talked for 10-15 mins and Keegan just kept running up the hill and then rolling down and laughing hysterically, everyone else around us also got a pretty good laugh too.

After saying good buy to our supplier, who was sitting next to us during the game, Keegan and I went into the stadium, and then walked around for a little while to take a look around. The TCF Bank Stadium is pretty nice for watching a game, but for the most part, I wasn't all that impressed. They did have plenty of bathrooms, so I guess I should be happy about that part, but the whole stadium just kind of felt cheap, like the fact that the bleachers overhead are pretty much exposed to the concourse, and it just wasn't all that exciting along the line of decorations.

We finally went to our seats, and watched the marching band for a while before the game was starting, and that was kind of fun. I was pointing out to him on the big screen that we were close to that the band was making the block M, but you couldn't really tell from where we were sitting. Finally it got to kick off time, and we were able to make it half way through the first quarter (Nebraksa was already up by 10) when Keegan had to have a bathroom break. So we went and did that and got some snacks, and annoyed everyone in our row with the leaving and coming back etc, but hey... he is 4, give him a break ;).

From Keegan Nebraska game

We sat through the rest of the first half, and then went to go get water and stuff during half time, and by then Nebraska was already up 34-0, so it wasn't much of a game. Every time someone had a big play though Keegan would get excited and clap and stuff, so that was fun. We watch more of the marching band, and part of the third quarter before the Keester needed another bathroom break, so we did that and came back, but by then I could tell Keegan was ready to leave. So we finished off the third quarter and took off. I let Keegan ride on my shoulders the whole way back, and he was pretty much wiped out at that point, so it was no surprise that he actually fell asleep in the car on the way back up with Meema and Gpa's house.

We did carve pumpkins after I woke him up and we went in. We had a good time doing that too, and I think mine is the best :). We don't have pictures of them up yet, but probably some time after the halloween party.
