Anderson Arizona Adventures: The Game of the Year

Football season was well underway! Up to this point, all the home games had been evening games, kicking off much too late for Caleb to attend. We waited with great anticipation for the first afternoon game. That game would be against USC, ultimately the game of the year for Arizona! Matt chose to pass up standing on the sidelines to attend the game with Caleb and I as a spectator. What a guy! He was given three tickets to the game along with access to the Stadium Club! What a gift! We arrived on campus early so Caleb could see the Wildcat Walk. This is where players, coaches, cheerleaders and mascots make their way to the stadium and fans line the street cheering them on. Here, Caleb met Wilbur, Arizona's mascot! We walked campus taking in the game day sights and sounds, scored free t-shirts and made a pit stop at the bookstore all before making our way into the stadium to enjoy lunch at the Stadium Club. We made our way back to our seats, in time, to see the marching band perform and the players take the field. At halftime, we debated whether or not to stay for the second half. It was hot, and Caleb was tired. I made the decision to stay, and we are so glad we did. What a spectacular finish, and a historic win for the Wildcats! What an opportunity to be in the stands to witness the game of the year!
