I took Hayden to the UT vs UCLA football game last Saturday. We had a blast, but I think a little background information would help set the picture for the day. I am coaching Elly's soccer team this year and last Saturday was our first game. We played the game from 11:30 to 12:30. Immediately after the game, Hayden and I left to go get lunch and head to the game with kick off slated for 4:00. We did not have tickets so we head over to the stadium to begin my favorite hobby, scalping tickets!!! (by the way we got great seats for 1/2 price!!!) It is now 1 1/2 hours before kickoff, we have gotten tickets, and Hayden has to go pee, RIGHT NOW!! The problem for us... the closest bathrooms are in the stadium. So, it forces Daddy's hand into going into the stadium much earlier than he wanted to take a 3 year old!
So we enter the stadium, we potty, we find our seats, we go for a walk, we buy popcorn and Sprite, we go back to our seats, we watch the pre-game, we see kickoff, we fall asleep!! Yes, not even 4 minuntes into the game Hayden is asleep and sleeps until almost half-time. When he wakes up, we go for a walk, we buy a pretzel and water, we watch the 3rd quater, we sneak down lower and watch the fourth quater, we give up on Vols and leave with 1 min left to beat the traffic!!
Pre-game (waaaaay before kick-off), but still proud to be wearing my new Eric Berry jersey!!!
Seat Snob!! Hayden would not sit with Daddy because I did not scalp tickets from people that had chair backs!!
Sleeping through the 1st and 2nd quaters.
