Tailgating before the game. These are mostly Bayou City Road Runners -- the running club I drink beer with at Valhalla on Wednesday evenings.
We all chip in for the three parking spaces and bring food, drinkables, chairs, etc. It's quite an elaborate operation.
Going up the escalators to the Club Level.
Pictures of the Club Level ... uh, "plaza" I guess. There are lots of places selling food on the left, not really shown in any of these pictures. Big windows that some people sit behind and watch the game
in air conditioned comfort, especially if the weather is a problem. (They haven't been able to close the roof since Ike damaged it, so we can have weather problems, particularly sun in the afternoon).
There's a big bar area, shown directly above on the left, and it seems that some people spend the whole time there, not watching the game. I seriously don't understand this. Seems like an awfully
expensive bar to me, but ...
We meet the lady on the left at the Symphony sometimes, in the middle is Donna (standing in front of us -- she's been getting better about that), and our next seat neighbor, Scott,
who is very knowledgeable about football.
The Texans come out through the flaming chute.
Scott and Carol, Deborah and Steve. Steve works building the high rises. His skin has seen a lot of sun and wind.
Steve (he's the "bead man") and Donna.
Dan Pastorini, famous quarterback.
