Touchdown Jaguars!


The corner stone to our visit to Tucson this weekend was the Jacksonville Jaguars playing the Arizona Cardinals. Alex did a really good job in school this semester and his reward was tickets to the game. Alex and I were joined by Grandpa and Uncle Keith. It was a pretty chilly day by Phoenix standards with game time tempurature in high 50's and a strong westerly wind. Alex and I ended up wearing just about everything we brought with us as well as some winter clothing we borrowed from Grandpa and uncle K. Of course our seats were in the shade which made it feel even colder! Still as Alex said, there was gametime electricity in the air and the excitment was high. The Jags and the Cards played a really tough, hard faught game that the Jags finally clinched in the final minute. Dad and Uncle K left right after the game ended to go warm up in the car, while Alex and I stayed to watch the players mingle and greet each other on the field and see the press conference of the Cardinals coach Dennis Green on the big screen TV. I think we were the last fans in the stands when we finally made our way back to the car. We always like to stay and soak up as much of the atmosphere as posible, we just don't want the experience to end. It was a great day of football and another wonderful future memory for Alex and I.
