It's almost Fall and that means FOOTBALL!!

John and I are getting totally excited for the upcoming football season. We have tickets to the Giants/Bears game coming up in October and are so excited that his two brothers are coming out to visit and go to the game.

Since the Meadowlands stadium is brand new this year, we thought we would head out to a Giants pre-season game to get a feel for the stadium and also to get a little taste of football before the season really kicks off!

The stadium is pretty amazing. We were on a Club level so they basically had a massive lounge area where you could get about any food you could want. Sushi... at a football game... yes please! The other really cool thing about the stadium is they have four GIGANTIC television screens around the stadium that are so clear it's almost hard not to watch those as opposed to the live action on the field!

Another nice part is that you can take the train directly out to the stadium - no need for a car. Which, if the Bears play bad enough then I can easily drink my woes away and not worry about how we're getting home.

Well, it turned out to be a beautiful August night and we got to watch a bit of football so that was good. Eli Manning was injured so we didn't get to see him play, but Ben Roethlisberger was in quite a bit for the Steelers so that was fun to watch. Can't wait for October to watch the Bears dominate the Giants... I hope. I'm still about 0-4 in seeing the Bears win in person. This IS the year!!
