This past weekend Mike and I, along with Mom and Dad and our friends Jeff and Michelle traveled to St. Louis to watch MU versus U of I kick-off the collegiate football season.
We rolled into St. Louis early Friday evening with our car flags flying high! Our hotel was located on Washington St. just a couple of blocks from the stadium and right in the middle of the action. The atmosphere for the entire weekend was amazing! There was such a buzz in the air and you could see and feel the team spirit everywhere.
Saturday was game day and we geared up for the evening at the Landing in St. Louis. There were street vendors, live music and tailgates everywhere. When we got to the stadium we were happy to find that we had seats on the lower level in the end zone. Although, Mike was not thrilled about the placement since he was right in the middle of Tiger Country! He was lucky enough to have three Illini fans sitting in the row directly behind us.
After an exciting game... and lots of scoring, I am happy to report that my Tigers beat the Illini! We are definitely going to try to make this a yearly event... although next year Sayer will probably stay at home with Mimi!
