Today was the day of the big game. It was the Minnesota Vikings versus the Houston Texans. Since neither Adam nor myself had a vested interest in the game, we were both rooting for the 
home team, the Vikings. We arrived an hour or 2 before the game and wandered around the outside of the stadium and inside as well, just getting a feel for the place. The Vikings play inside a dome stadium that has an inflated roof. That means if enough air was let out of the stadium, the roof would collapse. It is not too often that we both find ourselves rooting for the home team, but that is what happened this afternoon. The game was so much fun, it is hard to accurately describe
how the game felt. It was definitely electric. This game marks the very first time I have ever ended up on the jumbo-tron in the stadium. The jumbo-tron is the gigantic TV that everyone looks at to see what is happening during the game if they cannot see it from their seats. So at one point in the game, it was my face rooting for the Vikings that was broadcast throughout the entire stadium. It was pretty awesome!!! In addition, only a few minutes later, they aimed their cameras at Adam and he was on the very same screen. I have to say, that was one of the most awesome things that has happened to either one of us since we started this stadium tour over five years ago. The final score was Minnesota 28 and Houston 21.

After the game we went back to the hotel and watched the rest of the games from the hotel. Because we had such bad neighbors on Friday night, the hotel gave us credit for 4 free drinks, so we went down to the hotel bar and I saw my favorite team, the New England Patriots lose to the Indianapolis Colts (which sucked). At least we got a few free drinks out of it, I guess.
Tomorrow, we head off to the airport and go back to LA. This was a pretty fun trip, as all of our trips are turning out to be. It was pretty cool to get to get a close up view of Minneapolis & I look forward to wherever we go next year.
