First Ever Game at US Bank Stadium

I was able to wrangle our tickets from work to attend the first ever game a the new US Bank Stadium, and had a ball.  I took a pair of our friends, as well as my Mom, and I believe a great time was had by all.  We were stationed in the Mystic Lake Club Purple - an all-inclusive club on the second level.  It was nice - not fabulous - but the beer was cold and the food fine.

Speaking of food, my Mom was wavering between the brat and a turkey sandwich, when I piped in, "Get them both!  You don't have to eat both and the price is right."  Just that move alone probably saved us $10 in concession fees.

Here's Mel with Vikings great Matt Blair.  Personally, I think he's more excited to meet her than the other way around:

Club Purple has an exclusive deck, and here's the view.  Beautiful:

Speaking of beautiful, the stadium is a gem:

What a great place to see a football game.
