My First Football Game

I was twelve years old the first time my father took me to a football game. It was about 15 degrees outside and I was bundled up so tightly that I could barely put one foot in front of the other. My dad had brought with him about 25 beer koozies that I was responsible for carrying around and an armload of stadium cups so that he could get his own sized beer refills (something they woefully don’t allow anymore).

 

I can hardly remember the teams that played or even what happened that day at the game, but I do remember being dumbstruck by how many people were there and how many of them seemed to be content to do the same as my dad – drinking beer and reclining in the stands to halfway watch the game. My own collapsible koozies were wonderful because they kept the can of soda in my hands from growing too cold and with the heavy mittens I had on, it was easier to hold the can as such. But, the game…well, the game was at least a fun chance to get out with my dad. I was content to sit at home and watch them on the couch from there on out though.
