My first american football, a.k.a. grid-iron game was Saturday night. It was Stanford v San Jose State, at Stanford, at their massive stadium (see video).The game itself was probably more interesting than I thought, probably because it wasn't televised so there wasn't any waiting around for TV commercial breaks. I did get a free supporters t-shirt - yay.
Stanford had a poor first half, but came back strongly in the second to win. The half time show was interesting. I got to see a marching band with some creative license (Stanford's) and a traditional one. Both were interesting, but they did give the insight to what all the marching band business was about, as I actually got to see one doing what it's made to do.
Anyway I think I might return next time to a game of sufficient caliber, like Stanford v UC Berkeley, otherwise I think I might skip a couple of games...
