Halftime At MetLife Stadium

The North Carolina A&T State University Blue and Gold Marching Machine 
performed at MetLife Stadium during halftime on Sunday.
"It is one of the nation's premier bands known for it's 
high-stepping performances, precise drills, powerful yet melodic sound and boundless energy."
Serving as the Carolina Panthers official band, they led the 2012 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade,
and performed in the 
2024 Tournament of the Roses Parade.
They have also performed at several NFL Games at halftime.
The band, started in 1918, has 250 members.










The performance was incredible and such a great bonus for attending the game.

KC Chiefs vs The NY Giants...Live & In Person

 Leading up to this game, the excitement for me was simply overwhelming.
The KC Chiefs vs The New York Giants at Metlife Stadium only one hour from home.
The hubs purchased 2 tickets as my birthday gift and the wait was on.
If you follow me here, you know the Chiefs are my team, not really as much because they are awesome,
it's more about the quarterback, Patrick Mahomes and his story.
He's a true athlete, excels at all sports, married his high school sweetheart and he is such a gentleman.
Humble and kind both on and off the field.

I have never been to a live professional football game before now...


Welcome to Metlife Stadium


Believe me when I say, I was not the only one there with a red jersey,
so many Chiefs fans came out to support their team.
There was a group of people sitting in front of me that all flew in from Kansas City.
It was a very lively group and I wondered if they may have been some of the players wives.
They sure dressed the part.


The opening ceremony was very nice, this was the largest flag I have ever seen.







We kicked seval field goals and somehow missed an easy one.






They had free snacks, chips and 2 hot appetizers. 
Chicken wings in the first half and meatballs in the second half. 
Of course they also had a huge variety of snacks and food you could buy!

We were both so happy...
it was a beautiful day/night, the sky was clear and the temperatures were in the 60's.
We could not have asked for a better day or better weather.
I must say that everyone we encountered was so nice, so helpful.
The stadium was so well staffed, we could not walk 10 feet without someone asking us if we needed help.

I took hundreds of pictures and had the time of my life...there was a really beautiful half time show,
perhaps I will share that tomorrow!

ps...I almost forgot to say we won, 22 - 9.
- Go Chiefs -
