Pinch me, I must be dreaming! We're going to see the Seahawks play the Rams. And the Seahawks need to win. In fact, they must win because if they do, they will be able to invite the Saints to play in Seattle for the Wild Card playoff game.
Look, there in the distance is a beautiful cityscape- the Space Needle, skyscrapers, Safeco Field and Qwest field all calling our names!
And Seattle provided my very own welcome sign- T for Trish!
We've arrived! After paying $30 for parking (seriously???), we walked across the road and railroad tracks to Qwest Field.
This was a really cool police car. There was an actual police officer in it and no...it wasn't Barney Fife!
In honor of one of my favorite commercials, Ben took this picture of me!
We were given the blue bags when we entered the stadium. Yeah, more reusable shopping bags. This next picture was taken from the end of the stadium overlooking the harbor and downtown. It was some beautiful scenery!
Before the game started, the Sea Gals provided some entertainment. Notice their outfits? The temperature has dropped again to about 22 degrees plus a nice wind that kept our teeth chattering. Now you know why they were wearing long sleeves and long pants!
Here they come- the Seattle Seahawks! Boy was I yelling for them to score. Please little hawks, bring my QB Drew to the Pacific Northwest, please!
Isn't this a beautiful picture of our flag?
Those little birdies flew really hard all over the field. They played their little hearts out even without Matt Hasselbeck.
On the way out of the stadium, we were singing this song! Of course you realize what happened next! Good thing we had the iPad with us so that (while driving home) we could go to Ticketmaster to get tickets for next week's game. After a few mishaps, we were able to get two tickets, on the visitor's side (GEAUX SAINTS!) at about the same level we sat today (covered seats with backs and arm rests are a very good thing!). We were so happy with ourselves for about 30 seconds and then it hit us...we don't use credit cards so where is that money coming from? Right then, we called an emergency budget meeting for Monday. Good news, we don't have to sell our tickets but we'll be updating FB as to which street corners you can find us holding signs for the next few weeks, LOL!!
