Will do J. If I remember. I might end up slack jawed gawking at everything, and forget to take pictures.

That happens ..... enjoying the moment is much more important.
Memories last a lifetime .... photos not so much.

That was a lot of fun! The views in that place. Inside and out are fabulous. The tour guide said there's not a bad seat in the house, and he's right. Even the private boxes are fairly close. I went to a Cowboys game in the old stadium, private $200,000 box, any the players looked like ants.

I'm going to get to a Seahawks game it it kills me.

That's so cool that you are down here from Alaska doing that, the excitement you feel comes through so real even in this impersonal medium.

Enjoy dude!

I try and take the tour of the stadiums every couple of years and I live here.

Did that a few years ago. Remember it being very interesting and a lot of fun.

Enjoy!

So you've been to Liverpool then huh?




Glad you enjoyed ivotuk. Hope you get to attend a game soon.

Great tour. By the way, my Road Glide just rolled over 10,000 miles (since April). I'm a ridin' fool!

True, but they moved to a new building, and the service and food quantity have suffered. Quality is still good though.

Did you stop to see the VMAC?

No time. But that and Jimi Hendrix are next on my list. Loved him as a kid. 3rd Stone from the Sun was my anthem.

It's on the shore of Lake Washington right? If I can talk my buddy in to it, and if we can get a truck and 5th Wheel down there. Wish I had more time, but we have to get this rig back to Fairbanks and I need to get back to work.

Man, I can't get the view of the field out of my head, standing there the turf, imagining Marshawn's Beast Quake Run, or some of Tyler Lockett's electric returns.

You know, there's not a lot of different players Jersey's available in the Pro Shop, but "No E's" Jersey was there.

Oh, and guess who got yelled at for wandering on to the field like a doddering old man? *Points at self* But I could see how Pete does it all the time, you just get mesmerized by the history, the decades of electric energy flowing through the building from the hordes of ravenous, rabid, screaming fans, and the Ghost of Sports of bygone eras, permeating the Turf with their Spirit.

Mecca it is.

The VMAC is a 10 minute drive across I-90, then another 5 minutes up to the Renton Highlands from VMAC and you are at the grave of J Hendrix, which is a mile from my house.

So you are saying it would take 15 minutes to drive from C-Link to Hendrix's grave, are you from the future?
