first Gopher game in the new stadium

Last Saturday was the first game the Gophers played in their new stadium.  We headed over there plenty early to enjoy all the pre-game stuff they had going on.  We got to see the Victory Walk where the players, coaches, cheerleaders, and band all walk down the street and into the stadium.  The atmosphere was fantastic and you actually felt like you were going to a "real" college football game! We had a great afternoon and evening.  Sophie apparently really likes football as she watched most of the game and cheered a lot.  She barely had time to eat her hotdog! She cried again when we left.  I'm still amazed that we can take a 3 year old to a football game and not have to bring things for her to do!  Jackson was great too.  He's teething right now so not quite himself but he was a trooper!  And, in case you were wondering, the Gophers did win!

Victory Walk...Sophie watching the cheerleaders go by...she was clapping the whole time.  She LOVED It.



Sophie's favorite!
