Moving Up Close

Earlier in the week, Kristine (the youth director) had advised me that to thoroughly enjoy the game, we should get


a "BIG" tub of popcorn and "BIG" mugs of pop - both souvenir items. Digging into the popcorn, Pastor Chris ventured a guess that "it'll take us a week" to get through it.



In fact,
our group
emptied
the tub
during
the game's
third
quarter.



About that time, Kristine called Justin's cellphone and talked with Pastor Chris. He stood up waving his program so she might see where we were located - four rows from the Treasure Island wall.

Being a season ticket holder, Kristine and her mom were sitting opposite us, behind the goal posts.

(Check out this lucky shot with them following a touchdown.)

Kristine said seven seats behind their row had just been vacated. In a Bob-Barker fashion, she invited to "Come On Down"


out of the Nose-Bleed Zone

(Notice the red arrow marking where we were)



for a closer view.



The Vikings had just scored while we were en route. As we took our new seats, we watched Vikings Mascot "Ragnar" dance along with the Vikings cheerleaders.






Woo-Hoo!




Let the fun begin...
