Vanderbilt Football

Tonight we took the kids to Vanderbilt's first game of the season against Elon. The Commodores were 2-10 last year so even though they are in the SEC, they don't have a great football team. However, they have a new coach this year so maybe they'll do better.

We bought tickets on Stubhub again. We bought first row in the end zone and thought that we'd gotten good seats. We were wrong. There is a walkway in front of the first row that is the same height as the first row. People are constantly walking in front of you and blocking your view. And then the railing that is several feet away obscures the field when people aren't blocking your view.

We could feel the heat though coming off these flares when the players ran onto the field ...


It was a hot evening and we were all a bit uncomfortable, but we still had fun.



We stayed in our seats for about a quarter and then we moved to open seats higher up. The view was much better.


Carter had fun dancing to the band at halftime ...

We left a few minutes into the third quarter because Rylan was getting tired and fighting me. We parked about 15 minutes away and it was a long walk in the heat carrying the boys but luckily we beat a storm that developed a little after we got home.
