Go Vikings!

Greg Hiniker, our realtor, very generously gave us a pair of Vikings tickets.  It was our first time to see a live NFL game.  Dada was very excited.

The Vikings Stadium is right in the middle of Downtown, so very very convenient.

Mama enjoyed the game, but really enjoyed the cheerleaders and entertainment even more.  We both loved the family atmosphere and resolved to bring Katy to a game.  She would love those cheerleaders!

Dada was surprised at how well he could watch the game.  He expected it would be all atmosphere and not as good as TV as far as play analysis goes. 

 But he loved the perspective it gives you to be there with the whole field in front of you and to see the strategy big picture.

Mama and Dada of course enjoyed the game food and beers!

All in all, it was a wonderful "date" for Mama and Dada.  We loved it so much, we bought season tickets even before we knew we would move to Minnesota later in 2012! We can't wait to take Katy to the games, and to have Dada bring Katy to the game with Papa and other family!

(Of course, being the Lai Krauels, there's always also an angle, and we're hoping the tickets will both appreciate in value with the new stadium and also give us priority for selecting better seats in future!)
