Our first Giants game! Over the weekend of November 22-23 we loaded up the kids and drove down to Phoenix, AZ for the Cardinals vs. Giants game. Our friends Wayne, Jamie and their little girl, Layla followed us down. We left on Saturday morning and arrived in Phoenix shortly after 3:oo pm. Saturday night we went to Mill Street in Phoenix and met up with some old friends from High School. It was great seeing everyone and catching up.
Sunday morning we woke up early as the guys insisted we had to leave the hotel by 9:30 am, even though the game didn't start until 2:15 pm. We headed over to the stadium and found a parking spot. Luck for us we were surrounded by Giants fans. As one fan mentioned, "I feel like I am at home in the Meadowlands!"
We set up the vehicles and tailgated. The kids had a blast playing football and baseball in the parking lot. We met fans from all over, California, New York and even some first time football viewers from Edmonton, Canada! After chowing down on some burgers and hot dogs we made our way into the stadium. It was breathtaking! They did a fantastic job. It was a beautiful stadium and very well designed. It did not feel cramped at all.
Cole had so much fun tailgating that it wore him out! He fell asleep on me not long after kick-off and didn't wake up until right
before halftime. I don't know how but the noise (and there was a lot of noise!) didn't bother him one bit! Once he woke up, he was ready to go, cheering and throwing his hands in the air to signal, "TOUCHDOWN!" Kadee was Daddy's buddy throughout the game and really helped our friends keep their baby entertained! We were pretty lucky with
our seats. Past games me and Charlie have been to have been pretty rough with a lot of profanities slinging from one end to the other. The crowd around us for the most part was
pretty tame. We had lots of Giants fans surrounding us so we felt right at home. The game was great and thank goodness we won, 36-29!
