Well, here it is, time for the first game of the NFL season.
Thanks to an opportunity offered to us by my niece, Brandi, we were able to be
a part of the opening day crowd at Mall of America Field (Humphrey Metrodome).
There was certainly plenty of entertainment to keep us
occupied. We arrived early enough to see the pre game warm-up. As it turned
out, the Walsh warm-ups were critical to the outcome of the game.
Up close and personal is how I would describe the seats we
had. Everything from television personalities, to former Viking “royalty”, to
costumed entertainment was on display.
The introduction of the team was quite dramatic. The Viking
ship arrived (so to speak) and the plundering marauders (mascots, cheerleaders
and players) stormed the field.
The big question for the Vikings faithful was if Adrian Peterson, AP, was going to be allowed to play. That was answered as the last of the starting offense was introduced. As it turned out, he played a big role in the victory. We have a pretty young team this year and we are hoping for the best. One game does not a season make…….. or does it. Stay tuned.
