After brunch at our favorite haunt, The Southern Grill, we took the water taxi to the stadium. Little did we know that the boat ride would be the best part of the day. This stadium, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, seems smaller than Lambeau Field. However, nothing had been spared to ensure it was a “home” game for the Saints. There were no signs of Jaguars; the Saints logo in the middle of the field and certainly all the electronic banners and accompanying audio were personalized for the Saints. The fans felt right at home. They say that Packers travel well and this game was no exception. Our seats were great, we were right in the bowl toward the southwest end zone. Since the game started at 3pm, we were in the shade early enough but unfortunately that wasn’t enough to help the Packers come out on top. It was a long way home in oh so many ways.
On the way to the game on the water taxi and pregame -- all smiles!
