I really like the NFL.  I had a great time playing football in high school, and there is no better sport for watching on television than football.  Several years ago I worked for a company that had regional headquaters in San Francisco.  Since I spent a lot of time at the regional offices conducting training classes I came to really enjoy the San Francisco area and became a big fan of the 49ers.  So of course, I hate the Dallas Cowboys.

 This week I learned that while in Dallas, our management team would be going out to Texas Stadium for dinner and some fun down on the field.  Here’s the view from the room where we had dinner, at the skybox level.   

After dinner we all went down to the field for messing around, lots of folks took the opportunity to  throw footballs around.  There was a sort of impromptu field goal kicking competition.  There were a couple of players there signing autographs, one was Jay Novacheck.  I don’t remember who the other one was.  I didn’t get his autograph.  Most folks were real excited that there were several Dallas cheerleaders there.  Here’s a picture of me entering the field:

So what does a 49er fan do at Texas Stadium?  I wondered around some, and eventually found myself on the star at the fifty yard line.   On the left, that’s me on the star.  On the right, that’s me spitting on the star.  Yes!  We 49er fans take our opportunities when we get them.
