Colts Experience - The Fun and Festivities

.
Folks have been asking me if Greg and I went alone to the Colts preseason game. OF COURSE NOT! Our friends Steve and Vickie went with us.

Greg and Steve trying to impart a little football enthusiasm to Vickie

I loaned Vickie a Colts shirt so she'd have SOMETHING blue to wear - - - and like a good sport, she wore it the whole time, and even acted like she LIKED it.

There were lots of pre-game "things" going on, like this little mini-blimp flying around the field.


Finally it was time for the players to take the field. The Vikings came out without much pomp and circumstance - - - I mean, they WERE the visitors after all.


The the Colts ran out of their little tunnel with fire works exploding and flags waving.

Vickie and I remembered with humor the time my son Kyle ran onto the gym floor waving the school banner - - - oh but since you weren't there for that, you can't POSSIBLY know how funny IT was.


The Colts ran the "gauntlet" of the cheerleaders - - -

Then massed at center field.


It was Military Servicemen Tribute Night, so two members of the armed forces - - -


Lowered the flag in THIS creative way during the National Anthem.

(Look closely - - - you'll see them at the top of the flag)


Men were waiting on field to roll up the flag and it never touched the ground!

Then it was time for the football game to begin.

There were Vikings among us!!!

Greg and Steve looking down from our lofty perch.

Vickie, still showing that enthusiasm,

Though THIS is how she spent MOST of the game!

Here we are together - - -
A little self-portrait to PROVE I was there,
Blue Hair and all.

Our two feet.
Guess who belongs to which foot.

I'll give ya a little hint - - -
THESE two feet belong to the SAME person - - -

Whose hands looked like this!!

Korie was at the game and sitting one tier directly below us.
She came up for a little meet and greet
Complete with photo op.

She just shook her head at me and my mylar wig.

If you've ever seen a Colts game on TV
You may have seen these two "famous" fans.

They may have been attracted to my blue hair,
I don't know - - -
But I DO KNOW they were more than willing
To pose with me for this picture!

It was a really fun experience and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Lucas Oil Stadium.

HOWEVER - - - I don't want to go back for a REAL game. I need my wide screen TV and remote control for that!!!
