Yes, it's true! I was at Gillette in
Foxboro -- mecca for New England Patriots fans -- on Friday for the
pre-season game against the Philadelphia Eagles. That's me, with the Tom Brady shirt and the big smile, posing under the arch at the open end of the field. My totally awesome friend Christine brought me with her to the game (THANKS Christine!!!!!), along with her husband and another friend of theirs, and we had an absolute blast. She also took all of these photos, thank goodness, because mine all came out blurry.
Regardless of the score (which, hey, doesn't really matter
cuz it's just preseason anyway!), it was amazing just to BE there. It's a beautiful stadium, this was my first visit there, and I was blown away by how much better it is than the old
Foxboro Stadium. I mean, it looks great on TV, but that doesn't even do it justice. And there I was sitting, watching "my boys" from great seats and eating fried clam strips....doesn't get any better than that!
After the game we went over to CBS Scene, a bar that overlooks the stadium. This picture was taken from our seats on the deck. The deck also has a 40 foot jumbo-tron (which is the biggest danged TV I've ever seen, and I won't be sorry not to see another one ever again -- it gave me a headache just looking at it). And there are TVs at every booth indoors, plus various others throughout the place. I think they said there are 137 TVs in the bar. So, you know, in case you don't want to actually look out the window and watch the game live....
Aaaaaahhhh!!!! A dream come true, me relaxing on the
AstroTurf in the middle of the Pat's logo....I'll leave you all to guess where I actually was or how I got there to have this photo taken. Christine and I will never tell.
