For as long as I've know Jody (1998) he's been a HUMONGOUS University of Tennessee Football fan, that also just happens to be the year they won the championship game thingy! He's never been to a game at Neyland Stadium and has always wanted to go, so this year was the year! I researched and researched and researched where to sit, where to park, what game to go to, basically everything to make sure it was the best it could be!
I even talked to some of our friends who were season pass holders and had family that had season passes to see if my selections were good! I ordered the tickets while Jody was in El Salvador and had to hide them until our anniversary (August 19th), I couldn't wait another month to give them to him for his birthday!!! He was shocked and super excited! Jody's Mom came in town to watch the kiddos so we could head to Knoxville for the day...which is only about 3 hours away :) We left around 9am so we could get there in time for the Vol walk and marching band before the game and got home around 11pm! We had a lot of fun, even though we were packed in the stadium, there were 102, 455 people in a stadium that had enough seats for 102, 459 seats!!!
Now that's a lot of ORANGE! We took so many pictures, so here's the link to what I posted on facebook (easier to post them all to facebook than on here). And here's the link to the pics I took with my Droid. So glad we were able to spend the day together and Jody was finally able to see his Vols play :) Thank you also to all our family who helped make this day possible!!!
