ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?!?

The Shadow Lady had to work late, so my friend Les and I went to Monday Night Football at Qwest Field, for a game against the Raiders.  It had been a sunny day, but as we were heading into the stadium, and climbing "Mt Qwest" to my seats, I had this view of the clouds closing in on the Seattle Skyline.  The game wasn't one for the record books, but I had a GREAT time anyway - is there any better way to spend a Monday?

The Seahawk brought out the team... its an impressive site!

The usual fanfare bringing out the team was a bit upgraded for the Monday Night Cameras... impressive!

Warren Moon, a long-time great at Seattle, raised the 12th Man Flag to a host of cheers.

The Hawks didn't really come to play.  Luckily, the Raiders aren't that good, so it wasn't much of an issue, but it was a bit frustrating at times.

The second half, the wind howled, and the rain made for a wet game.  The 12th man flag flexed in the wind, but held up just fine.

My seats are on the very back row of the stadium, and unfortunately, they're right next to this opening... the screening blocked most of it, but I did get some of the wind and rain... enough to make it feel 'real' :-)

The Raiders should have never been in the game, but sloppy play by the Seahawks made it a fairly close game...

In all, it was a fun time!  Now, I'm already ready for the next game!
