Apparently they were trying out some new parking for the VIP guests and had cones lined up that caused a massive delay for people trying to park. People waiting in long lines to pay $27 to park! Another outrageous hike in price. The tailgating was a blast. Once we found our seats in the stadium you could really see the improvements and I was very excited as a fan and Kansas Citian to be there. Looking forward to a good game.

The opening ceremonies were wonderful. David Cook singing our national anthem and the planes flying over and commemorating 9/11 was an incredible time to be there not only as a football fan, but as an American. That alone was worth any ticket price…everything after that was grim. 41 to 7…how can you disappoint so terribly in the home opener at the loudest stadium in the NFL. There is no one place to put the blame as the team as a whole lost. Maybe they can improve and make my next visit worth it. The stadium and all of it’s upgrades were amazing to explore and enjoy and now we are ready to take our son to the next game. Chiefs fans are loyal and dedicated and it was enjoyable to see how many families have passed on that tradition through the years. Hoping this is one we can start with our own family. Let’s hope the next game is a win!

As football season begins the Touhy’s expect Mike to have extraordinary skills, but as the practices continue to show no improvement they are at a loss. That is until Leigh Anne gives Mike a pep talk. After she tells Mike to protect his team as if it was her and her family Mike proves to be an offensive tackle that can’t be matched. As word spreads about Michael the college scouts scurry to entice him to join their school using all the tricks they can. Michael begins to work on getting his grades up so he can get a scholarship and manages to do so successfully. Eventually the Touhy’s approach Mike about adopting him and he graciously accepts.

This remarkable true story shows how one helping hand can change someone’s world. The Touhy’s opened their hearts and home to this young boy and saved him from a life of uncertainty. The NFL would have never noticed Michael had it not been for them, but because of their love Michael is now starting for the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL.

“The Blind Side” is an inspirational and emotional story of a families love, hope and dedication. Sandra Bullock’s performance is Oscar worthy and her best work to date. Quinton Aaron proved to be a little giant with a heart of gold. Keep an eye out for this young man as he will be a success. This amazing story was brought to life in a wonderful way that families everywhere will enjoy. As the holidays are fast approaching this is the film to see that will have you thanking your every blessing. Don’t turn a blind eye to “The Blind Side” as it is one of the best films this year!
