Go Bills Go!

I had the opportunity to go to my first NFL game yesterday at the Rogers Centre; Miami vs Buffalo.The first thing I noticed was that people take their football seriously. -15 with the wind chill and this guy didn't blink -- wow!A lot of people believe that part of the true NFL experience requires that you tail gate before hand and then sit in the stands out in the elements with all the crazy fans. (see above) But thanks to my buddy Dave who came through with tickets to Microsoft's private box, all I have to go on is this experience.And I have to be honest with you, I could get used to this view of the game.Here are some shots of the box.... Oh and just for kicks, former All-Star Bill's quarterback Jim Kelly stopped by to say hi.Mr. Kelly, will you marry me? He said yes!Even the Buffalo Jill's made an appearance.
Jim and some other famous football guy enjoy a beer while watching the game.
... and oh yeah, there was also a football game going on. Buffalo lost to Miami 16-3. Here are some actual shots of the game.
At half time both teams exited the field using the same tunnel, weird. I guess this was done because Toronto was considered neutral territory.
The half time show was the Syracuse Marching band. And damn, nobody does marching bands like America does.
And then before I knew it my box experience came to an end ... but no before last call!

I guess being in a private box does have some preiviliges...
