The beginning of September found us in the hot deserts of Arizona to watch our hometown team. The BYU football team was playing the University of Arizona in the NFL Stadium in Glendale, AZ. Both teams had to travel some as BYU is in Provo, Utah and the UofA is in Tucson, Arizona. This was my first time inside this immense football stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals and location of a couple of Super Bowls. Thankfully it was air conditioned. The outside temperature was 106 degrees Fahrenheit.
We arrived early and it was fun to see the stadium fill up with fans wearing blue or red. There was a bit of a contest to see which team would draw the most fans. There was more blue!
This was the first "Cactus Kickoff" with more planned in the future.
As you can see, all those seats filled in. This is our row of family as we invited all of our Arizona sons and their wives to join us. Our sons are BYU alums as are my husband and I. It was a nail biting game and BYU won with a field goal in the last six seconds. The kicker was a true 18 year old freshman who had been a walk on. Football doesn't get much more exciting than that!!!
