Skol Vikings!

"Hi, my name is Mandy and I went to a Vikings game without wearing Green Bay garb."

"Hi Mandy."

Justin and I went to the Vikings game yesterday and had a great time (even though they lost). We got up a descent time and headed over from Hastings to be there around 12:30. After we finally found some parking we headed towards the dome to see what was happening. Justin, Jess, Mitch, and I hit up the outdoor/indoor beer garden with Jason Christensen from Ringsted. (he was the one that invited us to the game and got Justin and me tickets)


Around 2:00 we headed in to find our seats. We were in the corner of the end zone and had GREAT seats, we could see everything (except a Vikings touchdown) which was a lot of fun. Jess and Mitch were over a few sections from us but came over to our section towards the end of the game.


Even though the game wasn't so good we all had a really good time. I know Justin was pumped and the crowd was really excited until the 4th quarter. I have to say I was disappointed in the loyalty of the fans. The stadium began clearing out with more than 6 minutes in the game. I couldn't believe it! I realize T-Jack wasn't pulling through, and the play calling was RIDICULOUS but, there was a possibly that the momentum could still shift.


Anyway, the day was a success from a fun standpoint. Justin thought it was GREAT that I wore a Vikings shirt (though well hidden) and even cheered for the home team. it is a bummer that they lost but I think everyone, in our group at least, had a fun time!

  4. I am so proud of you for going and 'filling up those seats!' We were sad that they "pissed" it away (Anthony's words). What a SUPER fun day it must have been for you guys!
