American Football

Always always wanted to go and see a live american football match. it became popular in the uk in the erly 80's when they started showing on channel 4 (we only had 4 channels) at 6pm on a sunday evening, so it was with massive excitement that we got tickets to a game, which coincided with jaynes visit. was so excited. about 70 000 people turned up, but being america, the spectacle, the beer and the food is more important than the actual game itself. tailgate parties are where everyone fills the car parks with bbq's and drinking and parties, hours before the game...some people even tailgate without actually going inside to watch the game, they just wsatch it on tv in their cars...strange. the game itself was again very american. very stop/starting, lots of breaks (for tv commercials), and a bit dull at times to be fair...still an amazing experience
