First Game 2008







Wow!  What a big day!  It was our first home game of the year, and the USC Trojans came to town.  It was a huge game, and USC brought a ton of fans with them.  We had our brand new seats in the stadium and our brand new parking spot for tailgating.  We arrived early in the afternoon to set up and entertain, and boy was it hot!  We headed into the stadium nearly an hour before the game started for an extra-special visit to the field for pre-game activities.  We had won an auction earlier this spring (I'll put more about this in a separate blog) that included passes for the kids and Mark to go down on the field.  They were up close and personal as the players came out onto the field, the band played the National Anthem, and the latest Cavman video debuted.  Bailey was standing next to Chris Long and trying to work up the nerve to ask him if she could take a picture with him, and then the video started.  When it was over, she turned around to ask him, and he was gone.  She was disappointed about her lost opportunity, but overall, it was a great experience!  Too bad the Cavaliers were clobbered 52-7.
