Anything I need to know before I go to a pro football game?

I still can't believe I agreed to this. I'm tired, I have not fan attaire... I think stuff like that is idiotic. I'm not even sure what the other team's colors are. The only big game I've ever been to was Spain vs. Korea (1994 World Cup) when they played in Dallas.

God help me.

1. Wear bulky clothing so you can easily hide the bottles of wine. Drinks inside the stadium are always

so ungodly expensive. Oh yeah, bring a radio so you can listen to the play by play from the local radio station.

3. Leave at the end of the third quarter.

When the normal people leave at the very end of the game, the subsequent traffic jam will bring out the road rage in 40% of them.

5. I wish

We are not diving, though. So we don't really have a choice. That would be nice to be able to do, though.

:hi:

6. No, third quarter is way too early. Sometime in the 4th quarter is fine depending on how the

game is going. If it's a total slaughter, no big deal. If it's close do you really want to be the one that walked out and missed the rally?

10. Hey, I try to keep quiet, but the drink effects my hearing, so I speak up! Kinda like Rush does.

24. Not from me

I'm a transplant (living in Sac) from Texas. I'm use to the bashing. Some of it deserved, some not. So I'm ok with it.

16. Beware the hooligans.

Also, a second yellow card brings a red card and the player is out of the game.

23. Make sure you know all your cuss words and colorful phases

If you don't you'll probably learn a few more.

Also, it is important to remember all of the referees have been born out of wedlock, have "sexual relations" with their mothers, have poor eyesight, and didn't do well in school.

27. I won't know a bad call if I see it...

There are two hand signals I know in American Football: Time out and holding.

I hate time outs.

And... and, now the sky is getting cloudy. Please tell me it is not going to rain?!! :eyes:
