On the original list was Syracuse basketball, so why not venture out and experience a Syracuse Orangeman Football game!
Honestly, I know NOTHING about football. My dad was not a sports kind of guy, so our house was not the house where football was on the TV every Monday night or Sunday afternoons. What is funny, is that a number of my girlfriends are sports fans and know a whole bunch, so I go along for the ride to try things and to learn new things and I thought, why not give football a shot too….wellllllllll maybe not :)
The day should have been great. We had great seats, we were supposed to go to a reception before the game….one small glitch…..we did not know it was homecoming weekend. Therefore, there was a sea of orange, EVERYWHERE and what should have taken us 30 minutes took us hours and we were so late that we even missed kick off.
Quite a different crowd than the basketball fans, a bit more drunk, a bit more boisterous, and a bit more obnoxious.
Our seats were really good, it is incredible to me, that the Dome can house, basketball, football, and concerts etc.
The game…..well, Im no football fan, but when someone who knows nothing about football can tell you that the game is painfully bad, well then OUCH! Needless to say, Syracuse did not win that day.
My friend and I might not have had the best of luck with things going right for us that day (ok, as a general rule things went wrong most of the day) But, you know what? It was a day trying something new for me, it was a day hanging out with a friend, we had some laughs, and at the end of the day, we ate one really awesome fish fry at her favorite place in Syracuse.
Those are the things that really matter in life anyway, aren't they?
