Football Season

Most wives detest the phrase "season tickets".  I was the one bugging Nick to take the plunge.  We always end up going to a few football games at UB because it is like 5 minutes away.  Tickets are WAY overpriced ($24 each) so I usually spend all week searching for coupons or Craigslist tickets or even bugging my friend who's husband works at UB.  None of those options were available this afternoon when Nick suggested going to the season opener. 

UB offers endzone bleacher season tickets for super cheap.  The kids Junior Bulls Club is $20 for the entire basketball/football season.   We weighed the pros and cons, we compared calendars to make sure the games don't conflict with Bailey's football season.  We checked our budget.  Since parking is always free, we decided it was worth it.  We were all ready to let Bailey know and she reminded us they have fireworks for the Season Opener.  DANG IT. 

We had a good time even though Bailey decided to choose plan B and watch the game on TV.  Avery went and had a good time flirting with everyone and eating popcorn off of the ground.  Nick was convinced that one college gal was going to steal Avery and take her back to her dorm room and keep her as a pet but we kept a close eye on the baby. 

Since we live so close to the stadium,  Bailey was a good sport and watched the fireworks with me from our house (you can't hear them).  Go UB! 

What isn't included in our Season Ticket package is the UB vs. BGSU game at Columbus Crew stadium the day after Thanksgiving.  We are thinking of hitting up that game on the way back from Cincinnati. 

In other football news, Bailey's team starts their regular season tomorrow morning.  Bailey is a tight end and is #88 this year.  Panther Rumble!!!
