MU vs. OSU 10/22

Mommy was lucky to get some free tickets to the Mizzou football game today.  Even better than free was that they were in Touchdown Terrace…right off the end zone, row 5!!  They were great seats!  It almost felt like you were on the field.

Casper has talked non-stop about the last football game we went to even though he didn’t seem to like it at the time.  Today was similar.  I thought he would be excited to go but he kept saying it would be too loud and he wanted to stay home and watch it on TV.  We went anyway and he only cried for the first quarter.  He freaked out when he saw the band, even though they weren’t even playing yet.  Unfortunately, our seats were directly in front of the band and I was concerned how he was going to handle that.  It turned out that it didn’t bother him when they were sitting down.  The crowds and unfamiliar atmosphere had him upset for awhile, but after I gave him some of the free food and caffeine (yes – free catered concessions), he did much better.  Here are some pictures…

The band was fine if they were on the field, or in their seats.  But Casper didn’t like it when they got too close!

Casper eventually got into the game.  He did a great job with his M-I-Z-Z-O-U, and even got some fist pumps in once and awhile.

Here comes the TEAM!  Look how close we were to the action. 

Unfortunately, most of the action was at the other end of the field…and was actually OSU.

We had a good time, but the highlight of the day….
