Yes, "awe-inspiring' describes them perfectly. This is the second time I've seen one in person. They're incredible.

Yeah, that's sad when the best part of the game isn't the game itself.

Anyways, not sure where you sit, or if this is standard for Soldier Field/Chicagoans, but ALL GAME people were constantly going up and down the aisles, and stopping right on the edge - in front of everyone's view right during the play. It's like they would wait right until the play was about to start and then go. Are they dicks on purpose, or do they just not know how to watch a football game/football etiquette?

I don't think anybody is doing that on purpose. I went through that experience once and now I sit to the left of an aisle and far enough in to avoid that problem. It is frustrating!

I'm not that old.

I'm also not the reason for the ineptitude. They've lost games at Soldier Field when I wasn't in attendance too. They're just a bad road team.

Just teasing you :-)

Were you there in '07 when they last won there?

Yes, and I saw them win there in the '90s too (thankfully). I think that 2007 win might be their only win at Soldier Field in this century. How sad is that?
