So, as I had previously mentioned I was going to the Bears game. We both got dressed up in our game appropriate garb and headed to Qwest field.

On the way to the stadium I received my fair share of heckling and Jessica received a fair share of dirty looks for consorting with the enemy. We found our seats that were way way up in the stratosphere but at least I was at the game and I could see the whole field.

The people around us were mostly locals and they really didn’t like my presence - mostly due to the team that I was supporting. I took it all in good humor and still had a great time. I noticed that USAA was giving away free seat upgrades if you registered in their contest so I sent a text message away and thought that was the end of it.

I was standing in line for the bathroom after the first quarter when my phone rang. I didn’t recognize the phone number let alone the area code but I still answered the phone. The guy on the other end told me that I had won! I was almost yelling into the phone and everyone around me was looking at me wondering what the heck had happened. They told me to go to the first floor in the SW corner. I was near the upper deck in the NE corner. I had a trek and little time to make it to my destination. I called Jessica and told her the great news. The people around her weren’t quite as happy as she was because well… I was the enemy and I was a bears fan. She ran down from her seat and left everything behind.

I ran the entire way. I got the tickets and found out that were in section 108 row F. We were on the 40 yard line on the Bears side of the field and we were only six rows from the field. I could not believe my luck. Check out the video to see our view from the field.

I uploaded a few more pictures that you can check out in the gallery and you can check out a play from the game here. Both of us were giddy as heck for the rest of the game and we had a blast.

I really wish the Bears would have won the game but I guess I can’t have everything. I still can’t believe that I won - it was the coolest gift ever.
