Our friends Matt and Kimberly scored tickets to today's game from Matt's office, so the four of us attended the game for free! Well, we paid to park and we paid for beverages, but other than that, it was free! And two of us had a really great time as we watched the Steelers easily handle the Bucs.
Raymond James is no Heinz Field, but it is a pretty stadium. The highlight is this ginormous Pirate Ship at one end of the field, and it has a cannon that fires every time the Bucs score or enter into the red zone. Not gonna lie - pretty annoying.
We were sitting very high up in the stadium...
...but I like those seats because you can see the whole game. Oh, and our camera has a pretty good zoom.
Three magical men: Ward, Randle El, and Wallace.
Check out what I caught on film - Ward's touchdown catch!!!
A touchdown celebration, this one at the other end of the field.
At the end of the third quarter, the Steelers were waiting for someone to be checked out by the medical team, and out come the Bucs cheerleaders. Completely ignoring the man down on the field, they launched into their cheer right behind our guys. Pretty annoying. They got booed by the Steelers fans. A lot. And by that point in the game, most of the Bucs fans had given up and left already, so a significant portion of the stadium was booing them.
Tim and I had a good time. I didn't even mind that he wore his Phillies hat.
Being there as a Steelers fan was really cool. I seriously think that there were more of us than there were Bucs fan. Check out these pictures. Does it not look like we're in Steeler country???

Yay!! I love football season. Here in Illinois it's all about the Bears, but to be honest I'm actually more of a Packers fan ;-).
On a different note, I'm a little curious. Have you ever eaten something called a dragon fruit (or pitaya) before?? I hear they grow a lot of them down in Florida.
