First football Game.

Yesterday I went to my first live football game.  Pittsburgh Steelers vs Cincinnati Bengals.   I had a great time.  It was an away game and we won (Go Steelers).

It was an interesting day on the way there, there was an accident about a mile in front of us so we were sitting on the highway for about an hour before we started moving again.  Most everyone got out of their cars and mingled.  Some had dogs that they walked or played with.

The trip to Cincinnati would normally be about a 5 hour drive, however since we were sitting waiting for the accident to be cleaned up it took about 6 or so hours to get there.   I was glad it was a night game.  We left in plenty of time not to miss kick-off.  We also had time to do a bit of tail-gating.

It was a lot of fun.  We took a shuttle from the hotel over to the stadium.  I don't know the last time I saw so many people.  Black and gold, orange and black everywhere.  I believe there were just as many Steeler fans there as there were Bangal fans.

After the game we ended up taking a taxi back to the hotel as we somehow got turned around and couldn't find our way back to the shuttle.  Oh well all in a days fun.

The next game I go to I would like it to be a home game, I'm sure that will be even more fun.   I had such a good time. You can see photo here.
