On December 9th, 2013 I went to a Chicago Bears vs Dallas Cowboys Game at Soldier Field. Even though It was absolutely FREEZING outside, I had a great time.
My dad and I left really early, because I didn’t want to be late, but we got there so early that we had to wait in a long line to get in. It was all worth it though. When we were finally in the building we went to the Fuel Up to Play 60 table and received an All Access Pass so we were able to go onto the field. Then, someone led us onto the field. It was the greatest thing ever!
My dad and I walked around the field for about an hour and a half (we also took breaks in the tunnel to warm up) while the team was practicing. And then came my big moment. Almost everyone left the field, but I was able to stay. It was so exciting watching the players run out of their tunnel. Then I was standing on the sideline while the National Anthem was playing, and when that was over, I was led to the middle of the field with the team captains. I was able to watch the coin toss from the best seats in the house. While I was in the middle of the field it was so exciting because I was standing right next to Jay Cutler and Roberto Garza, but my State Ambassador sash flew off in the wind… It was SO embarrassing! Until Cutler picked it up and him and Garza helped me put it back on. It was a great experience, but while all that was happening I didn’t even realize that I was on the big screen! There were a lot of people that I knew at the game so they were rushing to take a picture of the screen.
When the coin toss was over we went to get a hot chocolate and then went to our seats. Although the hot chocolate was cold by the time we got to our seats it tasted great. Another reason this game was amazing was that they were retiring Mike Ditka’s number at half time. And we were there to experience the whole ceremony. It was a great win for the Chicago Bears!
