Anyone else going to the game today?

Nope.
Wish I was, but it should be a good game.

The game wasnt brilliant, probably due to the rain, but still good to watch.  We were really impressed with Wembley.  We were in the top tier but the view was excellent.  

I took a few pics.

Its good to see these American sports almost selling out our arenas. Im not sure how well theyd do if it was to become a regular week in week out thing though.

I was at the NHL games at the O2 at the end of September and they were immense.

I find American football even more boring than the UK version. Too much a set play game for me.

Its a tactical game. Its more Chess than rugby ;-D

The pitch was dreadfull. Thing is, football pitches are usually just turf laid  on top of a base, where as rougher sports turf is usually a lot thicker & get standup to 20stone men digging their feet in along the line of scrimmage

I mean more they start, then they stop and everything goes back to the midline again and they start again, few seconds more play and they stop, continue until end of period/game.

The plays may be different, but in the end it results in a boring game for me, at least from the point of being a spectator. TBH I am not a good spectator either, I would rather play or not bother.
