It is getting towards that time of year again.. Football!!! With the ending of summer fast approaching, the NFL starts up for the year. Pre Season is currently in effect and then the first weekend of September sees the season get under way. Last year I missed out on being able to go to a game. The tickets were just so expensive and since I didn’t really feel like going on my own and a lot of my friends here are not football fans (some are, some aren’t) I never went.

Things are a little different now and since Heidi & I officially started our relationship on Superbowl Sunday (that is the photo above of course), along with the fact that I know someone who has season tickets to the Seattle Seahawks (of course that is Heidi’s favourite team), things could possibly go down well. I was happy to hear that we could snap up those season ticket seats for one of the Pre Season games. It wouldn’t be a normal season game, but hey.. Football is Football right? I wish it could have been a Patriots game, since I have only ever seen them once, but I can’t really complain right?

So that game was last Friday night and Heidi & I had a ball. The Seahawks were playing the Chicago Bear and “Da Bears” (apparently that is how you should refer to them, mocking them… not sure why) got absolutely smashed. The game wasn’t all that amazing from a competitive stand point but it was good none the less. The best part was the seats!

Look at that view, look how close to the action you are! Amazing! I don’t know how long they have had their season tickets (I do know they have been a season ticket holder as back as far as the King Dome days) but seriously who would I have to murder to get seats as good as that on the open market at the price we paid. Awesome++

Topping it all off with some Skillet action from the Truck at the game and Mal is a happy boy. Plus continuing the tradition of Mal eating a Skillet meal before a Seahawks game, and having them win. That is a good thing right? I think Heidi is going to ensure that will happen any other time in the future.. especially if the Seahawks make the Superbowl again.
