Texas Bowl

Robert loves college football and so we decided to use Christmas money to get tickets to go to the Texas Bowl. It was my first time at Reliant Stadium, so far of all the Houston Stadiums, Reliant is my favorite. Robert found us awesome seats,  we were on the club access level and right in the front row and they were padded seats!

                  The game was Syracuse vs. ....

University of Minnesota!

We were on the University of Minnesota side. There were definitely more Gopher fans in the stadium than there were Orange fans. 

 For half time both University marching bands did a show and then the combined to perform "Deep in the Heart of Texas" I took a video of it but I can't get it to load, it is on my facebook wall if you want to watch it (it is short, 1:06)

The next two photos are from the University of Minnesota's half time show. They had a 320 or 310 member band and they all fit into a little circle it was so cool to watch! You can see the edges of the football from the Texas Bowl logo that was on the field. 

This is the band expanding out from being in the circle.

 I'm surprised that Robert still lets me go get him food, he knows I take a delivery fee ;)
It was a really good brat, I actually took two bites instead of my usual one because it was so good.

                                             
                                                            It was a little chilly at the game!

 The final score was Syracuse 21 University of Minnesota 17! It was a really good 4th Quarter!

 They had fireworks in the parking lot after the game.

We had a wonderful time at the Texas Bowl!
