Road Trip – Omaha to Seattle – Day 8 – Seattle – Husker Game Day - September 18, 2010

Woke up this morning, and headed down to the Pike St Market and saw some really cool stuff. This is where they throw the fish to each other when you order it and they also have a really good amount of other stores in the area as well. There was souvenir shops, people doing yoga, great views of the sound, and fresh fruit and vegetable shops as well. We then decided to walk toward the space needle and catch a cab to the game.
We hailed a cab and rode to the parking lot outside the stadium. After that it got pretty crazy. We walked for awhile and Tom had made some contact with a buddy from high school that was at the game and he said we could get tickets for $100. So we met up up with him and got our tickets. Walked down by the sound, and saw there were a bunch of boats tailgating there. Pretty cool. The stadium is right on the water, so a lot of people sail their boats up and party before the game. We went up by the stadium and had a beer in the “zone”. Finished up our drinks and went into the stadium. We were right by the very edge of the stadium maybe twenty rows up. So a lot of good people watching before the game as everyone passed by. The game was amazing, the final score being 56-21, and we pretty much romped em. A lot of UW fans leaving early, and a really good time with Husker fans while we were there, including some time spent at the very top of the stadium with some people I knew from Omaha.
After the game, we were hungry and decided to walk down by the stadium and look for a good place. We were told that a local brew pub was excellent and went there. It was extremely busy and we left and went to meet Paddy's friend Tara in another part by campus. We took a crazy route up through the UW campus, through the tennis courts where players asked us the score and laughed. Funny because most the fans we met were very nice. And these were no different. We made our way to McCool's, an irish bar where tara and ben we at. We had a couple drinks there and some average nachos and decided to have another beer or two in the area and we found our way to earl's on the ave... we had some beers and some fun and some beers then went home and went to bed.
