Going to my first NFL football game on 09/13/09 in Seattle - Blu-ray Forum

thecroshow · 08-02-2009, 05:42 PM

Hey all, so I'm celebrating my birthday on 09/13/09 by going to the Seattle Seahawks home opener vs. the St. Louis Rams!

I live in BC Canada and haven't been to Seattle in several years. What can I expect? Is it worth going hours before the game starts to see if I can get in on some tail-gate action? Are there any secrets I should know?

I honestly have no clue! haha We're going the day before, don't have any plans yet for Saturday. Any attractions I should check out? I'm thinking Experience Music Project could be cool. I remember checking out the Space Needle when I was a kid, can't imagine I'd be too thrilled by that...i could be wrong though!

Additional interests for your info: i love movies obviously, i enjoy a variety of foods (steak, halibut, indian currie, a tasty burger, sushi, chicken, etc), obviously into technology like mobile phones, home theater....beer, can't get enough beer, mostly into light ales, but venturing into dark stuff like guinness. my buddy is driving us down...not sure which hotel we're staying at...any recommendations on something reasonable? We're staying one night, 09/12/13 and driving home after the football game.

That seems like a great stadium. It just looks cool. I have yet to go to an NFL game. I live a fair distance either way from the Texans or Cowboys and don't care much for either but even if I wanted to, it'd be almost impossible to get them. So have fun for me too, alright?

I haven't went to an NFL game yet. The nearest i could go would be to see the Buffalo Bills .

You could go visit Seattle, take some pictures,go see some museums.

Go seee the Football Stadium

Seattle stinks, no offense. So much stale water and old fish.

Going to a Cowboys game myself on the 21st, will be a long drive there and back. Figuring I'll take a few DVD seasons along to help make the drive go by quicker, I'll have to schmooze the parents a bit to borrow their porty player.

Dude, you have to take pics of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. You just have to!

Batman1980 · 08-02-2009, 10:08 PM

LOL I have some from the last game I went to, just no way to put them online without the master prints. My father is like you by the way, he claims the Cowboys' cheerleaders are his favourite NFL team.

Scan them and use http://www.imagevenue.com/ to upload them

NJ_RAMS_FAN · 08-02-2009, 10:15 PM

well I hope my RAMS!!! beat your seahawks!!! lol.. All i want from the Rams is more than 3 wins

bhampton · 08-02-2009, 10:16 PM

I went to so many NFL games when I was growing up, mostly at the Orange Bowl in Miami. My uncle had about 7 season passes and every time an un-popular team came through and he couldn't fill them up he would invite me.

Now,... I know people that love football and have never been to see a game and I wish I could give them those days of my youth. (I was never really into it but it was still pretty fun.)

LOL I have no scanner.

You'll have to settle for looking at their calendar or online pictures, I guess.

This will be my third game, last 2
December 31, 2006 lost to Detroit
November 23, 2008 beat the 49ers

I'd like to go see a Dallas Cowboys vs Giants game or Dallas Cowboys Vs Steelers.

How much are they tickets ? How long is it from where you live driving there ?

Batman1980 · 08-02-2009, 10:23 PM

The tickets we got are about $200 each but it IS a new stadium and we had to go through a secondary ticket seller. It's a 14 hour drive from here, it'd be a 2 hour flight but my sister doesn't want to fly so we're driving there for once. Not sure why she gets any say since she's not a football fan but whatever.

Just remind him that while they did get Stephen Jackson, we got Julius Jones that year and Ware with the pick we got for trading down. That should shut him right up.

KingBing · 08-02-2009, 10:41 PM

Make sure to tail-gate!!!! Thats the best part about going to a football game IMO ( other than the actually game of course ).. All the ribs and steaks with about 40 beers its awesome

The big thick juicy angus steaks!

MaCruz · 08-02-2009, 11:05 PM

I don't go to the games much because it's too hot, and I'm 0-5 all time when I go.

Glad that you're going, you should have a great time!
