Vikings vs. Buccaneers

We've already had two home games but I'm only as far as writing about the first one.  Sunday, September 18th was the home opener for the Minnesota Vikings.  For tailgating in MN, you hope you get at least five warm and sunny games and five or less cold games.  It was neither sunny nor warm but cloudy and rainy.  What did make my day shine was that for some reason we didn't have to pay the $50 parking lot fee and when I say for some reason, I mean that they didn't come over to our car and collect our money and I didn't make any effort to correct the mistake and bring the $50 over to them.  1- Dana 0- Parking Lot Attendant

We did have a few people tailgate with us.  M's friend Tracy and his sons Noah and Hunter came with us.  M describes them as "Woods People" and introduces others them as that and they are totally ok with it.  They live in Markville, MN which is roughly six miles from Danbury, WI.  They don't make it to the cities very often and definitely not to Minneapolis so they were having a lot of fun and it didn't matter if it was raining or not.  I also had one of my former coworker's come and meet up with us for a bit also.

The game itself started great, as we have all learned that every Vikings game this does but it soon turns very bad.  To sum up the game, we lead all the way up until the 4th quarter and then blew it.  Adrian Peterson's 120 yards and two touchdowns were not enough to win.  Vikings lose 24-20.
