The guys who are building our new home offered us to use their season tickets to a Boise State game. I told Kefford I would be willing as long as it was a game in September. The last and only other time we went to was November and way too cold. We were able to go the the game on the 10th and they were playing the Washington State Cougars. In addition to having the season seats we were able to get their parking pass as well. When we got their, about an hour before kickoff, we found the parking lot totally packed with people tailgating. I have seen tailgating on TV but have never experienced it in real life and after seeing it in real life I am good to never be a part of it. I think it could be fun for an hour or so but not as an all day event. We had to wait for people to clear out of our spot and they informed us the rules of tailgating: if you don't come by 4:30 then don't come at all. Good to know, thanks. Once we got through that mass of confusion we waiting in line to go through security and get in. Kefford had his pocket knife in his pocket and had to give it up to security. Kefford did not want to go all the way back to the car to put it away so he lost it. But don't worry the next week he called the athletic director to see if they had it so we could go and pick it up and they did. Ryker had a Dr's appt in downtown Boise and after it we stopped at BSU to get his knife. It was a cheap $5 knife but it was sentimental to him and we got it back.
We had great seats but not as great as the first ones we sat in. We were a little confused by the seating and sat in some super comfy seats we thought were ours but when the guy in the seats next to us got there he informed us that we were sitting in someone else's season seats. We were in the right seats just the wrong section. We moved one section over to our right seats and they did not have the comfy seats the other seats had.
It was a fun game and I really enjoyed watching it and not freezing to death. Football games in September are definitely the way to go. I loved being able to go with Kefford and we had a really great time together! The final score was 31-2, BSU wins!
I left my phone at home for the kids to use if they needed to get a hold of us and I found some pictures that were taken by Avynlea.
