Football GAME (not footy match)


I kept referring to our upcoming American football game as a footy match and got told off for it. On Saturday afternoon we went to Stanford Stadium down the road to watch the Stanford Cardinals vs Notre Dame. Note that "Notre Dame" is pronounced in American speak as "noter daime". They really can't pronounce any French words i've learned (watch them try "Grand Prix").
Turns out this game was the final game ever at a stadium that dates back decades. Straight after the game they were to start pulling down the stadium to replace it with a smaller but better one.

Hi Mashy

There are a couple of people in the bottom right of the frame (ie. sitting in the seats in front of you) who appear to be wearing construction hard hats. Do you know what that was all about??

Great pictures, enjoying them all.

To do with comemorating the whole pulling-down-the-stadium thing.
