As some of my loyal readers know, I am a pretty die hard Vikings fan. However, I'm also a realistic Vikings fan. I have a NFL Mastercard. This gives me points per dollar spent that I can redeem for football related rewards. This August, Nick and I decided we would cash in points and cancel the card. We were able to get a pair of tickets to a game. We were pretty excited and picked the 11/18 game vs. the Raiders. Well, many of you know, this has been a "rebuilding" season for the Vikings (again) and were a fantastic 3-6 going into the game. With the Raiders sitting at 2-7 we were not all that excited about going anymore. But we didn't talk ourselves out of going and went, knowing we would have fun, and could always leave at half time if we wanted to. Besides, we had pretty good seats. We didn't get to see Adrian Peterson play, due to his injury, but we did get to see him when he came out for warm up. Our seats were sect 117, Row 3 seats 15 & 16. This means were were behind the goal on the "home side" the section next to where the Vikings come running out of the tunnel, in the 3rd row. It was pretty neat to be that close. The downside is there are 36 rows of seats, so we had to go down 33 rows of seats, and back up them....75 steps each way. We didn't make many trips.
Anyway, there were some great plays. We sat next to a guy who lives near New Germany, small world! And the Vikings won. Its always better when we win. The cold and rain, waiting to get on the cramped light rail train is that much easier to deal with when your team wins.
This is all we got to see of Adrian Peterson. He is the one not wearing the hood.
