Are You Ready For Some Football ~Cheering for the Bison

Can you believe it is already Football Season?

We have been planning this trip to Target Field 

for the Bison Opener for months.

We purchased our tickets last November.

We were up and at ‘em early.

...but, Coffee first.

My Helper Cat supervised the selection of 

my weekend wardrobe.

We were all packed up and on the road in good time.

After a stop midway for lunch and a break to stretch, 

we made it to the cities in plenty of time.

The Pre-Game Pep Fest.

The NDSU Bookstore was set up for shopping convenience.

The fans enjoyed food and beverages, live music...

...and reuniting with college friends.

Hubby and I stayed late and listened to the band.

Then walked the few blocks back to our hotel.

Game Day

Cowboy Jacks was the perfect spot to stop

for some pre-game snacks and to visit with friends.

We weren’t the only ones that thought so...

There were three levels in this sports bar that were packed,

wall to wall, with Bison Fans.

Target Field opened up at noon for a Pre-Game Concert 

by Jordan Davis.

Fans were filing in to our left...

...and to our right.

The Gold Star Marching Band took the field.

There was plenty of action in the game.

Cousins Betty and Drew came over to our section

for a chat at halftime. It was nice to see them again.

It was a great day to be a Bison Fan!

Take care,
