My dad and D were already planning to go but when my mom and I heard that the game would take place in the air conditioned Reliant Stadium with seats that have backs, we decided that we were in too. It was a good thing that the game was indoors because it rained all day long!
This was Katelyn's first football game and we weren't sure how she would hold up in such a loud and crowded environment. She loved it! When we first got into the stadium, we found that our seats we right next to the band. She wasn't too sure about the band and their music at first but after a while didn't even seem to notice.
Every time the Cougars scored a touchdown (which surprisingly actually happened a few times), they would sound a cannon. And every time, Little Kate would look at us with a concerned expression and then smile when she saw that we were happy.
One of the things my mom enjoys at football games is taking pictures. She brings all of her high tech gear and sets up a little tri pod to take action sports shots. At this game, she had a little assistant.
This game was especially fun because the Coogs actually won. This was not only the first win of the season for them, it was the first time that they had ever been ahead at all. As my dad would say, "It's a rebuilding year."
During the fourth quarter, my mom and I decided to take Katelyn for a walk around the stadium. We walked until we reached what we thought was a dead end. It was actually the fancy lounge area with employees guarding the doors. We were about to turn around when one of the employees told us we could walk in. It felt like we had walked into a cruise ship! And there were couches!!! My mom and I couldn't believe that we hadn't spent the game relaxing in the lounge instead of suffering on the plastic seats.
Katelyn was so good during the game and I think she had a great time but she fell asleep for the best part: the halftime show! Every one knows that the best part of a football game is watching the marching band!!! :)
