Carrie and I went out of town this past weekend for some R&R and to see a Chicago Bears game. Neither one of us has ever been to an NFL game.
We stayed at the Westin in Detroit and got a very nice room. I went on Priceline.com and got a great deal on this 4 star hotel. We ordered room service for dinner and breakfast. It was fun getting served like a king and queen in our room. Very fancy.
The next day we checked out and headed to the ball game. As we got closer to Ford Field, the “Park Here” signs we observed increased from $15 up to $35. It was 9 degrees, so I paid the $35 and parked one block away.
Our seats were pretty good, not ground level, but then again, not “nose bleed” section either. It was amazing how small the field looked. TV even makes a football field look “fatter”. We were surrounded by other Bears fans which was nice, but could still hear the groaning and cursing of nearby Lions fans at their team as they watched them lose again. I have a new found pity for Lions fans after being amongst them and their angry & depressed determination.
We planned on eating hot dogs at the football game, but they had a Big Boy concession stand at Ford Field, so Carrie and I had Slim Jims and french fries at half time. Yum!
The Bears won. I am looking forward to next season.
Carrie and I had an awesome time together.
