NFL Kickoff

Two football games in two weekends. What a way to kick off the season!
The great thing about being on the east coast is that the "early game" doesn't start until 1:00PM, which gave Jim and I plenty of time to drive up to Charlotte. Decked out in our green and navy, we fit right in. No really - there were a ridiculous number of #3 and #24 jerseys!
We had time for sandwiches and walking around the city pre-game. Charlotte is cleaner, shineyer, and quieter than Atlanta. The buildings had an art-nouveau flare, which was pretty neat!

The game was great... after the first quarter. It took a while for the offense to get churning. Kudos to Carolina for a stingy run defense! We were in a pocket of Seahawks fans, including these die-hards. Jim snapped this photo before they could appease the crowd control by putting their shirts back on...

The final: 12-7, Seahawks. Woot!
