Yesterday Justin mentioned that someone from work (a client? maybe?) might have an extra ticket to the US Men's National Team game against Venezuela. But, Justin told him he could only go if he had two tickets (thanks my love ♥). Well, the guy came through!
We still debated about whether we should go or not since it was so close to game time and we didn't have a sitter yet. We felt bad asking someone so late, but decided to try Paul anyway and he agreed! What an awesome cousin!
He came over and, based on the picture below, I think the boys had a good time. Nolan loved having someone to 'wrestle' with. Thanks PTM!
So...we showed up to the stadium, looked at our tickets, and started heading toward our seats. We could tell they were on the west side which was nice because it wasn't in the sun for the beginning of the game. We got to our aisle and started walking down towards the field to our seats. And we kept going...and going...and going. Our seats were in these super fancy seats in the SECOND ROW!! In fact, one of the security guards came up and checked our tickets and, when they determined they were correct, gave us wristbands to clearly indicate that we were allowed to be there.
As if that wasn't exciting enough, we were right next to the tunnel where the players come out from the locker room!

We were pretty jazzed to say the least! (but of course tried to play it cool like it's something we do all the time haha). Oh, and our wristbands also gave us access to go down to the field and into the tunnel to a banquet room with food and drinks. Now that's a way to watch a soccer game!

Going in the tunnel. The guy in the background walking with his son is who gave us the tickets. We also found out that he is Taysom Hill's cousin!
Another view of how close we were to the field!
Post-game
We tried to get Zeke to reach down and get a high five, but he was too shy ☺
It was definitely a night to remember. I don't know that we'll ever get that good of seats again haha!! Thanks for the tickets Dusty!
