This year, my amazing hubby bid on (and won!!!) a Vikings preseason package! We didn't realize how amazing it was until we got home. They tickets were on the 45 yard line in the SECOND ROW!!! As in, right behind the players. In the middle of all the action. Four tickets were included and our friend Isaac and Andrea could come with so it was all set and I was beyond excited.
Jim's mom was kind enough to come watch the kiddos (since the game was a Thurs night, which makes it a little tougher to find somebody to watch the kids). Included in the package was VIP parking. So, after dealing with horrible traffic due to FOUR major sporting events going on (I know, great planning), we pulled right and walked across the street to the stadium. I mean, honestly!!
To top it off, I'd never been to US Bank Stadium before. It was beautiful. I was most impressed with the giant doors that they open to make it feel like it is outside. Very cool. We walked around the plaza for a bit but I wanted to see inside. We got inside and found out our tickets got us entry in to the Delta 360 Sky Club. What is that you ask? All the food, beer and wine you want...for FREE!!! (Holy crap. We may have to Uber it all the way back to Waverly!!) Oh, and it opens up onto the SIDELINES! Like this:
The green on the other side of the metal is the sidelines!!! Beyond my wildest dreams.
Like I felt like I was one of the players (okay, maybe not but a girl can dream!!). We stayed there for a while and then went to our amazing seats. Our amazing view:
Words can't explain the time I had. It really was a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you so much, Jim, especially since you don't love the Vikings and weren't impressed with the stadium the last time you were there. It was the best gift you could have given me. And to spend it with such great friends just made it more special.
Now, can we do it again next year?!?!?
