Sea of Black and Gold


We live in the Iowa Hawkeye crazed town of Iowa City, I thought Milwaukee was bad with the Packers. A guy Phil works with invited us to his tailgating party yesterday and we went. I had never been by the stadium during game day so I didn't know the depth of the craze. We had to park at least a mile away 'cause Phil was too cheap to pay the cash to park on someones lawn (some were charging $25 for parking).
Anyway it was a nice walk because we were able to people watch.
Our tailgating party was prime- in the stadium parking lot(I heard someone say the high roller tailgaters). We had some yummy food and the girls played a little football.

Nate and I were just about the only ones in the millions of people who weren't wearing the correct colors. I am NOT exaggerating, I can't believe how many types of Iowa shirts there are. I will be shopping this week for some cute Iowa colored shirts for the fam(Phil already has one).
We all had a good time and it was really fun to experience a Hawkeye Game Day. Phil and I were wondering if we would enjoy the tailgating life- every home game they are there. I think we decided it would be fun to do it a few times a year but we are not dedicated enough for much more than that.

FUN.
I'm planning on going to a store in the ped mall. They have some good deals on Hawkeye apparel! I'll let you know. You have GOT to get your hawkeye gear before the Homcoming parade. SO FUN!
