The Longest Day!!

So I decided that I was going to stay up all night long and go down to the forum at 4:30 am. When I finally got down there, there was already a line of about two hundred people. There was a lot of confusion on where we should line up because you were not supposed to be on the forum’s property until 6am so by the time we finally were lined up in the right spot I was in the very front! It was so cold and I felt like I was going to get hypothermia! After finally getting into Gameday I was already so cold and tired that I did not think that I would be able to wait in line for six more hours! So after Gameday they make you go line up again but this time you could leave the line for food and bathroom as long as someone saved your seat, so I went and sat down to have lunch and relax for a little while. Finally I went and got back in line and waited and waited and waited. Once it was 6pm everyone started get antsy and annoyed. When they finally opened the doors people started pushing and shoving to get inside. It took like 30 minutes just to get in the door. We got to our seats and it felt so good to sit down in the warm. Once the game started, the long day was so worth it. Even though the tigers lost it was still a super exciting game and I am really glad I went. I know the tigers will come back and be on top of their game now!

Hey Brooxie! You are so crazy for staying up all night. I do not know how you did it. I didn’t make it the whole day and I even got a few hours of sleep. I am sure it would have been fun if I stayed but I do not regret leaving. Standing out in the cold for that many hours is just not for me! I am glad you had a good time though and I think Memphis will step up their game as well.
