Fun Football Field

Tonight was a pretty good evening. I took a page out of my friend, Kayla's book, meaning that I decided to go play some football with Becky. She knew people who were on a team and asked if I'd like to go and so I did. As we were taken to the game, one of us asked where the game was going to be held, and the response was..."The Giant's practice field." I was in awe, the Giant's practice field...WOW...I've definitely never played in an indoor field where a professional football team plays, or at least practices on! the car ride wasn't too bad. I got to see other parts of the Jersey City area, which was a neat plus. As we approached a white dome-like structure it was right next to the Giant's stadium.

We entered through a revolving door...they have them everywhere! We entered onto the field one could see numerous people in an array of brightly colored t-shirts running around. We were fortunate enough to get the color purple. The field was made from turf. thank goodness my skinn looks good with every color. Becky on the other hand had made the comment about being the purple people eaters. I met the other members of the team and had a quick run down of how the game was played. I guess I should be thanking good ol' Gene (from my Advertising & Marketing college course) for making me watch the Super Bowl for advertisements, because I actually understood more of the logistics of the game. Anyway, after getting the specifics on how the game should be played and how there's a play called the "girl play". We were off to play against a very competitve team. they all seemed to understand all aspects of how their game should be played and they all seemed to mesh well on the field. Our team, well...needed a bit more help. We managed to get through the game without too many injuries. Becky got shouldered by one of our teammates, but nothing too serious. Playing on this field was pretty sweet. I really had a good time. Becky and I started my "get fit for bikini season" routine work out plan on Monday and after that workout...I do have to say...I couldn't really move on Tuesday. But after tonight's game I'm ready to go! I was proud of myslef, because I actually caught the ball during the game to get us one of our downs. We ended up losing pretty bad to the other team...I think the score was 23:12...maybe?

But most of us were inexperienced in playing a two touch half football field game, but I have better feelings about next week. Becky won't be coming to our game next week because she's just getting off work when we have to leave. But I will be going and hopefully we'll have a smaller gap in points. When we arrived back at our apartment we wandered around looking ofr a place to eat dinner, because we were both starving. We ended up at the Lightning Horse...I think? But of course, we when in our post football attire. So I was wearing sweat pants and a sweat shirt and this restaurant is a bit fancy...so I was really under dressed, but they still served me. next time I will remember not to war my sweat pants out and about, especially when going to get food at one of our neighborhood restaurants.
