Going to my first Football Game!

Have never been to a live game - must admit find the game a bit confusing but I love baseball, soccer and rugby - being a Brit - so today am off to see the 49ers v Chicago Cubs at Levi stadium with kids, grandkids, in laws.

 

All are die hard 49er fans so this is a big first for me.  Excited to see it all.

@dulwich In case you're wondering... the Cubs are one of Chicago's baseball teams, the Bears are the Chicago football team... Smiley Wink Hope you enjoy the experience !!

The stress - got name wrong, all I have red are fancy dress red knickers - do not think I can wear that - will I even last the car journey - can't believe I got the name wrong!  Thank you Ladies for correcting me imagine if I got name wrong at game!

Re: Going to my first Football Game!

@dulwich Not to worry... an easy enough mistake... As for wearing red, were it me, I'd don a pair of jeans and go with a red sweater or jacket if you have one... Those games last a long time and comfort will be essential...

Re: Going to my first Football Game!

How did you like the live American football game?  I recall the one and only time I saw a live rugby game in France and I was totally lost.  One of my upcoming trips I am going to try and see European football, like the Chelsea football club.  That might be easier to watch Smiley Happy
