Hail to the Redskins!

         Well we finally got to see my beloved Redskins play the New York Jets on Friday night.  I can't say that it was as amazing as I had envisioned but nonetheless it was fun and exciting.  The stadium is brand new in the Meadowlands of New Jersey but I gotta say it's bland at best.  The place has no character or identity.  The obnoxious Giants fans call it theirs and the Jets fans claim it as their own.  It's confusing to say the least.  Plus a New York team being in New Jersey just doesn't add up.
       So it's Hail to the Redskins for Country Boy and City Belle!!!  Growing up in NC before the Panthers, there were the Redskins and I have stayed loyal ever since.  My mother pulled for them and in 1991 we won the Super Bowl.  I'll never forget, I was 11 years old.  Anyway, our journey there to the stadium started at Port Authority on 42nd street and it was quite the "trip."  City Belle and I got round trip bus tickets to the stadium for 10 bucks that dropped us off right in front.  A pretty good deal in Manhattan or anywhere for that matter. Here's a good shot of the City from our bus on the way to see the Redskins.

As you can see it was a perfect day for a football game.

It may have been a preseason game but it was a packed house.
