Pro Bowl - the actual game
We were in section J, row 28, seats 7 & 8 - which means lower level orange section, on the yellow/gray sideline toward the 30 yard line at yellow end zone. We were on the W side of the stadium, so that all action faced us.
Introductions lasted forever, but overall well done. Not as flawless as The Queen's Theatre production of Phantom of the Opera, but still not bad for a sporting event. And yes, the rain kept coming.
Rule changes made kick-offs a thing of the past, the ball started on the 25. Also, 2 minute time outs at each quarter and those quarters functioned as halves.
The players were having fun and the crowd appreciated it. Plus the stadium is an awesome location / venue for football.
Knowing that it was going to rain all day, we should have gone upper deck and been covered. Oh well. We took a couple time-outs ourselves and hid on the concourse when the rain got heavy. We were wet to our underwear. But hey, at least it wasn't snow!
Props to my wife who suggested we bolt in the third quarter to both beat the crowd and make our flight. Taxi lines were hidden and only controlled by the drunkards waiting to get a taxi. Lordy...
Halftime was not impressive to me. Something about lost boys, fall down boys, or something. Sandy knew the songs. Never heard of them prior to yesterday. Her opinion? It was pretty good. I took photos to prove we were here.
Made it out in record time. Got to sit down and eat a nice dinner and even saw the last minute of the game on TV.
We are wet and cold, but glad we did it. Now back to three more days of soaking up sunshine.
North end.
South end.
National Anthem.
Half time and the Fallout Boys.
Please note the lack of sunshine in all the photos. I know, cry you a river.
