Heading down at 1pm. Need to get good parking. Wife is 2 weeks from due date, so were in the red zone and I may need to leave ASAP. Post Season baby!!!! Last time she was preggo was in 2011. Weird!
I'll be there at noon..Finally, a ST that pays off! First post game then another post season in Glendale in May!!!!!!!!
Not only be there early, be there earlier. There's nothing quite like when they start the countdown to going live on national TV and everyone is just beside themselves screaming. Certainly be in the stadium by 4:45. Starting to ramp up the excitedness...
