Hope and Despair, Giants versus Seahawks

It is a big event. A lot of people, a lot of beer and a lot of dollars. It is super commercialized. And we sit closer to the field than I expected even if we are on the 300rds.

The stronger team in the first half where the Seahawks.

The advertisements are quite funny, completely unintentionally.

The Giants lines both offensive and defensive are playing weakly in the first half.

The score in half time was tied at 14, but did not reflect the dominance by Seattle that was not substantial but enough to shake Giants.
Coming back after half-time it did go worse for Giants before they actually started giving the fans some hope. We where thorn between hope and despair through out the game: everyone wants the big blue to be big but no one wants to be blue after the game. But then the New Yorkers are only happy when the wind blows the right way and are fast to critique their players.
The battle raged back and forth with Seattle at the advantage for the most times
As we where heading in to the 4th quarter the score was again tied at 22 as Seahawks nailed a field goal. New York replied with a score and we where again very hopeful, but during the last minutes of the match Seattle intercepted and scored and then during the last minute intercepted again and killed the match at 25 to 36. And yes I feel disappointment although it was an exciting game.

Football tickets

I have been planning to get myself a ticket to go see live football at the Giants stadium. The first time I looked for it I could not order tickets, but I was told by a colleague that the tickets where very expensive.
Since the seasons is soon to start I went looking for tickets again. It turns out that the page was faulty, still is actually and that tickets can be bought. And they are expensive: the cheapest ones are $96.
I have asked the other Hypers if they are interested in experiencing some real part of the American culturett. I guess the price will scare them away but Rodrigo tries to get me to go to Baseball instead. The instead part seems as probable as me taking a trip to the moon, but I just might see a baseball game as well, they are much cheaper, go figure? They play about a hundred games during a season and the sport is much more uninteresting and hard to both understand and appreciate. When I have said that I might be interested Rodrigo acts like any good merchant or drug dealer and tries to push it some more: He introduces the idea of going to a tennis match... to watch?! That is among the worst suggestions I have ever gotten. I understand that he probably likes tennis and therefore does not understand how stupid his suggestion sounds to me. But come on...
Anyway I still have this feeling that if I actually go to that Baseball game for $15 I will still be wasting some good 5 hours of my life... it remains to be seen. But I will be buying my tickets within a week to a Giants game, that is a promise.
