We went to a preseason Titans game last night against the New Orleans Saints. The game started at 6 pm so it wasn't too hard on the kids and keeping them up.
We picked Brian up from work and then headed downtown. We decided to try the Fan Express Shuttle instead of parking downtown and then walking across the pedestrian bridge to the stadium. Parking was free and the shuttle cost $10 per person with kids under 5 being free. Since parking downtown for games is usually $15 to $20 anyway, using the shuttle and not having to walk as far (while carrying the boys) worked out great.
We got through the gate about 30 minutes before game time and took our time walking up the ramp to our seats. Someone was handing out Titan eyeblack stickers. Carter didn't want to wear his so Rylan and I wore them.
On the walk up we started seeing more rainclouds. Luckily the storm split us and we didn't get any rain.
Our seats were in the upper deck, end section, and the second row. There were only 6 seats per row in this area and we had 4 seats and the other 2 were empty.
We only paid $5 per ticket and I was totally happy with our view.
The boys sat still for quite awhile before I had to pull out snacks! They were just taking it all in.
I think Carter's favorite things was the mascot (T-Rac). Carter pointed him out all through the game and loved all his outfit changes.

Usually when I try to take a picture of Rylan now, he gives me this look.
Carter liked looking down over the edge. No fear of heights here!
Cheering!
I tried explaining a lot of the game to Carter. One thing he picked up on was First Down and doing the arm movement.
Touchdown, FINALLY!
The boys, especially Rylan, weren't big fans of the fireworks. When they went off during the national anthem, Rylan wouldn't let go of Brian for a long time.
We left about midway through the 4th quarter. There was no more scoring after we left and the Titans won 10-6. We had a lot of fun and the boys did awesome. They paid attention to a good portion of the game and Brian and I actually got to watch a lot of it too.
