The new football stadium

by Mandy on September 16, 2010

 

One of my favorite things about fall is SALUKI FOOTBALL! Since both my husband and I are alums, we LOVE to support our alma mater! 

A few weekends ago was the home opener. Not just any home opener. It was the reveal of the new stadium! 

It is literally AMAZING!! I wish they had that kind of facility when I was a SHAKER. Back then, SIU didn’t have any money. Including making the dancers where some of the ugliest uniforms on the planet. P was in awe!  

I just love this shot of him and daddy watching the game. 

Joe, Aunnie, me, and hubby

We did a little tailgating before the game. 

Gigi and Papa

P Man who wouldn’t look at the camera 

 After all he was just waking up from this… 

Apparently he didn’t realize the fun he was missing. Even Bents was trying to wake him up. 

My happy boy sporting his SIU gear

 

 

Family pictures aren’t near as hard when you’ve got one sleeping and one contained in a stroller. However, it doesn’t make for a very pleasant picture.

A little loving from Aunnie. 

Can’t wait for this weekend. We have our best friends from St. Louis coming down to visit us and go to the game!

OMG the new stadium is GORGEOUS!!! So jealous that we didn’t get to dance on that field or wear cute outfits back in the day :-) Wish we could see it in person this homecoming!! Oh well, there is always next year :-) The boys look so cute in their SIU gear!! And a sleeping child makes for a SUPER fun tailgate in my opinion. Haha!
