Cardinal's Game

Last week Matthew had quite an experience. He has a friend, Christopher, whos Dad knows an assistant coach on the St Louis Rams. The Rams were in town so Christopher and his Dad, Todd, asked Matthew and another friend, Dakota, and all the Dad's to go to the game in hopes that they would get a chance to go down on the field before the game. They packed up the car and left for the game at 8:30. They got to the stadium at 9:30 to tailgate until about 11:00. They then got some passes and were able to get on the field during the pre-game. The boys were excited, but I don't think they really realized what an opportunity they were having. The "Big Boys" on the other hand were in awe! TJ was on a high for days! They were standing right where the players were warming up. TJ said they were running on the field and doing drills and it sounded like a heard of cattle were coming towards them.

One of the Refs came up to them and talked to them.

Another coach for the Rams started throwing the ball to the boys and some of the players were even giving the boys high fives!

They saw some Hall of Famers, I believe, but TJ would have to explain them, because I have no idea! The guys even had their picture taken with the owner of the Rams. TJ said she was super nice!

I am sure I am leaving out a lot of details, but the overall experience was amazing and a long day. They left at 8:30 and got home at almost 6:30 I think. This is the coach that our friend Todd knows from Washington.

This is a link to PhotoBucket to see ALL the pictures they took. There are a lot of them, but some of them are really amazing to see how big these players are.
