Too much to eat!!

For my birthday, Kristi bought me tickets to my first pro-soccer game here in Seattle. The only thing is these weren't just your ordinary tickets these tickets held "special power", which I will explain in a little bit. Besides giving me these "special power" tickets she also told me that I should take Matt to the game instead of her...ya...I did a double take as well but I responded like I always respond when Kristi says something, "Yes Dear!!"

Before every game Sounders fans do a march from a local park to Qwest field. Since this was our first time Matt and I thought we would join in. We were a little late but believe me we got the full experience.

We really didn't know any of the chants but we held up our scarves proud and tried to blend in as much as we could.

It seemed like everyone was just having a great time.......then we found out just how CRAZY Sounder fans are! I'm not kidding when I say in a matter of seconds we were surround by smoke and every where you looked someone was holding up a flare, and chanting "WHITE CAPS MUST DIE" and the funny thing was we weren't even playing the White Caps. Matt and I looked at each other and you could tell we were thinking the same thing, "What the heck just happen and how the heck did we get right in the middle of it!"

Our seats were amazing. We were a little higher up but you could see the whole field plus our tickets had "special power" and we were under cover and I'm so thankful that we were because it was a down pouring rain for pretty much the whole entire game.

I have to admit the opening was pretty cool and in my opinion everyone was just a little bit more nuts because we were playing against the Portland, Timbers who is huge rival to us in the soccer world.

As for the "special powered" tickets!! Here was the deal with these tickets you would walk up to this designated area in front of a concession stand, show them your ticket, walk up to the counter and order whatever you wanted and it was all FREE. You could eat as many hot dogs, nachos, peanuts, popcorn, pretzels, or whatever you want and everything was FREE. There was no limit on how many times you could visit the concession stand and you could have as much pop as you want. NO BEER but everything else was fair game.
We ate so much I was actual surprised Matt could stand up and wave his scarf.

I would not recommend these tickets to anyone that is on a diet and if there is a tall-tail sign that you are getting your full amount of your ticket I think it would be when the ticket attendant looks at you and says, "Boy you guys are getting your money's worth tonight!" Now I just need Kristi to give me a "special powered" ticket that takes the weight off!
