I won tickets to the Vikings/Packers game on December 23rd. It was my first time in US Bank Stadium and my first (and most likely, last) football game.
I mainly wanted to go see the stadium, since I love architecture. Which turned out to be a good thing, because if I was interested in football, I would have been sorely disappointed.
A new Vikings game record was made with 67,167 in attendance, but the stadium started bleeding purple as soon as it was obvious that the Vikings were going to lose. I didn't mind, as it gave me a chance to start playing with the pano feature on my phone without a whole lot of people blocking my view.
We stuck around after the Vikings were put out of their misery to avoid getting caught in the exiting throng. I kept playing with the pano feature and today's image was my favorite shot: my wonderful husband with his fractured and disembodied pano hand, a sea of purple seats (not comfortable, I might add), and miscellaneous discarded flotsam and jetsam from fans.
Don't get me wrong, it was a very interesting experience and I enjoyed myself. I just wish I had brought earplugs.
