Husky Game

Hello Husky Stadium!
We were blessed to receive tickets from Greg and Brenda to attend the UW vs. Stanford football game.  This was a huge game.  Both teams were ranked in the top 25.  The game was being televised on ESPN on Friday night.  The stakes were high!

Both Chris and I were able to sneak out of work early so we could make it to the 6pm game.  We parked at the new Des Moines parking garage and hopped on the Light Rail.  This was a popular way to travel because our train almost filled up as we got on...and we still had many more stops to go!

It took us about 45 minutes to get to the game on the train.  We get off right at the stadium.  Well, after riding three different escalators up, all we had to do was walk across the way and we were in the gate!  Simple.

The Dogpack (UW students) were there early and in full force decked out in their purple.  

It was a beautiful evening.  We both had on T-shirts and a sweatshirt the whole night.  I never had to take out my vest, gloves or hat!  (But I was prepared!)

There was a sell out crowd with well over 72,000 people.  It was extremely loud the entire game.  We didn't realize how loud until afterward when our ears were ringing!
The Huskies jumped out to a quick lead and never looked back.  It was total domination over Stanford and the final score was 44-6!  The place was rocking.  I was on a high the entire game and still the next day!  That was the best game and the most amazing atmosphere to be in.  We've gone to Husky football games before, but this one was the most exciting!

It was great to be part of such a great night!
Enjoying every moment!
